Pokémon TCG Reveals More English Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift Cards
Gholdengo ex, Professor Sada's Vitality, Mantyke Illustration Rare, Chien-Pao, and Absol have been revealed for Pokémon TCG: Paradox Rift.
The English-language Pokémon TCG has revealed the translated versions of cards we will see released in November 2023's expansion, Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift. This expansion will be the fourth main series set in the Scarlet & Violet era following the Scarlet & Violet base, the Starter Evolution, and Treasures of Ruin-themed Scarlet & Violet – Paldea Evolved, and the Dark-type Tera Charizard-themed Scarlet & Violet – Obsidian Flames. Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift will combine the Japanese sets Raging Surf, Ancient Roar, and Future Flash into a single expansion, meaning that we have seen many of these cards before in previews of those Japanese sets. The newly revealed Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift cards include Gholdengo ex, Professor Sada's Vitality, which is an Ancient card, Mantyke Illustration Rare, Chien-Pao, and Absol.
