Pokémon TCG Japan's Wild Force Preview: Walking Wake Ex
Walking Wake is a Paradox Pokémon thought to be an ancient relative of Suicune and it debuts in the Pokémon TCG with Japan's Wild Force set.
Article Summary
- Japan's Pokémon TCG previews Wild Force set featuring Paradox Pokémon like Walking Wake.
- Wild Force and Cyber Judge expand on Paldea's lore, slated for release on January 26, 2024.

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 DLCs 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 another Paradox Pokémon ex from Wild Force.
Walking Wake was the first of the Paradox Beasts trilogy to be released in the main series Pokémon TCG games. It was revealed the same day as Iron Leaves, the Paradox Pokémon theorized to be a descendant of Virizion, and added to Scarlet & Violet in the Version 1.2.0 update. Walking Wake is a Water/Dragon-type Paradox Pokémon thought to be an ancestor of Suicune. In order to get to know this species better ahead of its Pokémon TCG debut, let's take a look at its Dex entries from the game:
- This ferocious creature is shrouded in mystery. It's named after an aquatic monster mentioned in an old expedition journal.
- It resembles an illustration published in a paranormal magazine, said to be a depiction of a super-ancient Suicune.
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.
