Pokémon TCG Will Release Second Scarlet & Violet Set In June 2023

Pokémon TCG will release the second English-language Scarlet & Violet expansion in June 2023, a month later than it'd normally be expected.


The Pokémon Company International will release the second Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet set in June 2023. Normally, this set would be expected in May 2023, but it is likely that the release of Crown Zenith in January 2023, itself an anomaly, has pushed back much of the year's releases. This as-of-yet untitled set will, in part, adapt Japan's newly revealed Triple BeatTriple Beat, coming to Japan in March 2023, focuses on the Paldean Starters by giving Illustration Rares to Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly while giving Pokémon ex to their final evolutions.
