Pokémon TCG Japan's Wild Force & Cyber Judge: Ancient Koraidon

Pokémon TCG Japan will release an Ancient Koraidon-themed Starter Deck along with the new sets Wild Force & Cyber Judge.



Article Summary

  • Pokémon TCG Japan introduces Wild Force & Cyber Judge, releasing January 26th, 2024.
  • Both sets feature new Paradox Pokémon, along with Ancient Koraidon & Future Miraidon.
  • The expansions will reintroduce Ace Spec cards with a fresh holo pattern design.
  • Scarlet & Violet - Temporal Forces, the English set, is slated for March 2024 release.

Pokémon TCG Japan has begun teasing the next Scarlet & Violet-era sister sets, Wild Force and Cyber Judge. These two sets are themed to the new Legendary Paradox Pokémon released in the recent DLC's expanding on the Paldea region. Wild Force features the ancient ancestors of the Beasts of Johto, the Paradox Pokémon Raging Bolt (an ancestor of Raikou), Gouging Fire (an ancestor of Entei), and Walking Wake (an ancestor of Suicune). Cyber Judge features the future descendants of the Swords of Justice, the Paradox Pokémon Iron Leaves (a descendant of Virizion), Iron Boulder (a descendant of Terrakion), and Iron Crown (a descendant of Cobalion). Both sets hit shelves on January 26th, 2024. These expansions will also reintroduce Ace Spec cards with a new holo pattern. It has already been confirmed that these sets will combine to make up our English-language Pokémon TCG set for March 2024, Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces. Today, let's take a look at a card that is being released with a new deck tying into the release of Wild Force and Cyber Judge.

Two Starter Deck & Build Set products will be released with these two sets in Japan. One features Koriadon ex as an Ancient Paradox Pokémon card, while the other (which we will preview tomorrow) features Miraidon as a Future Paradox Pokémon card. These cards can't be pulled in packs of Wild Force or Cyber Judge but will likely be folded into the English-language Scarlet & Violet – Temporal Forces set.

Koraidon appears here in artwork by PLANETA Igarashi. This Legendary species is, of course, one of the two Scarlet & Violet mascots along with Miraidon.

Japanese sets often give us early ideas of what the English-language sets may include, so be sure to keep an eye on our coverage. You can stay tuned for previews of Scarlet & Violet cards as well as updates on everything Pokémon TCG right here at Bleeding Cool.
