Pokémon TCG Releases Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift

Pokémon TCG has released the third main set of the Paldea era, Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift, introducing the Ancient & Future mechanic.

The latest main series Pokémon TCG expansion has been released. Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift is the third set of the current Paldea-themed era. This set continues to use the Pokémon ex mechanic of this era while introducing a new mechanic as well. The new mechanic is the Paradox card type, which comes in both Ancient and Future varieties, available both as Pokémon and Trainer cards. The aesthetic of these cards is cohesive, impacting not only the standard cards but also the Full Art and reverse holo versions. The Secret Rare section of Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift includes Full Arts, Illustration Rares, Special Illustration Rares, and Gold Hyper Rares. You can now buy this set in loose booster packs, booster boxes, blister packs, booster bundles, Build & Battle boxes, and Elite Trainer Boxes.
