The is not slowing down any with its releases of new expansion sets to, and this next one may be the most popular yet. The set will kick off the TCG's 2024 lineup with 240 cards, over 100 of which will feature shiny and new Pokémon ex variations. A comparable set has already debuted in Japan with the name although the full card lists for the two will not be identical. While, at the time of writing, there has not yet been a full reveal of which cards will carry over to, there are many that are expected to.

The sets will include many of the popular Pokémon characters in shiny variations, including many that are new to the Paldea region, such as the video game starters of, Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly.
