Pokémon TCG's First Set of 2024 Is Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates

Shiny Pokémon return to the Pokémon TCG in the first English-language set of 2024, the special expansion Scarlet & Violet - Paldean Fates.

The Pokémon Company International has announced the first Pokémon TCG set of 2024. Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates, releasing January 26th, 2024, continues the tradition of previous special sets, Hidden Fates and Shining Fates, by focusing on Shiny Pokémon. The set will contain more than 130 Shinies with confirmed species, including Shiny Pikachu, Shiny Ceruledge, Shiny Tinkaton, Shiny Dondozo, Shiny Tatsugiri, and also Shiny Tera Pokémon ex, including Charizard, Forretress, and Espathra. This is the English-language adaptation of Pokémon TCG Japan's high-class set Shiny Treasure ex, which we have been previewing this month. Let's take a look at what we know.

The Pokémon TCG announced the following:

Select Shiny Pokémon in Scarlet & Violet—Paldean Fates will be showcased in fun full-art styles, revealing a new side to fan-favorite Pokémon in their Shiny forms. Furthermore, select Pokémon ex will appear on hyper rare cards, featuring a new and unique raised foil effect.

Noteworthy cards from the expansion include:

11 Shiny Pokémon ex
Seven Pokémon ex and three Tera Pokémon ex
