Time waits for no one, and that’s particularly true for fans of Trading Card Games (or TCGs). The release schedule for fans of the Pokémon TCG always feels pretty busy, and it seems that, with just a few months between releases, players can barely have time to get used to a set before the next is released! However, as another famous saying goes, forewarned is forearmed, so let’s take a look at what’s in store for the Pokémon TCG in 2025.
Prismatic Evolutions – January 17th
Bringing cards from Japanese set Terastal Festival to the West, Prismatic Evolutions, along with its non-English language counterpart, features Eevee and all of the perennially popular Pokémon’s evolved forms (or “Eeveelutions“). Check out our Prismatic Evolutions card list for more insight as to what you’ll find, including more ACE Spec cards, and even more Tera Pokémon!
Journey Together – March 28th
Though it’ll be almost April by the time that the second set of 2025, Journey Together, will be released, there’s still a reasonable amount of insight into what it’ll feature. We know, for example, that it’s going to be mostly based on the Japanese set Battle Partners; this also means that we’re going to see the return of Owner’s Pokémon. Owner’s Pokémon have been trained by a specific owner, and as such they have specific abilities and stats which set them apart from other Pokémon. We’ll have more details, and a card list, as soon as they’re revealed!
Untitled Tenth Scarlet & Violet Set – June 2025
This far out, we don’t even have a title for the next Pokémon set, though we know it’ll continue under the Scarlet & Violet umbrella; with the Scarlet & Violet video games being released in 2022, could the next Pokémon video game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, be used as the branding for further card game sets? It’s unlikely, as the previous Pokémon Legends game, Arceus, saw its Pokémon brought to the TCG as part of the Sword & Shield branded sets. In any case, what we do know about the June 2025 set is that it’s likely to be comprised of cards from Japanese set, Heat Wave Arena, and will continue to bring more Owner’s Pokémon to the TCG.
Untitled Eleventh Scarlet & Violet Set – September 2025
With Japanese set, The Glory of Team Rocket, due in April, we suspect that we’ll see its cards heading West a little belatedly in the currently untitled September Pokémon TCG set. We know that The Glory of Team Rocket will feature Owner’s Pokémon which belong to the titular, nefarious team, but other than that we’re just too far out to know much else.
Untitled Twelfth Scarlet & Violet Set – November 2025
Finally, there’ll be a further Scarlet & Violet set to end the year, but we don’t even have any upcoming Japanese sets to clue us in on what this might contain. Naturally, we here at Card Gamer will be updating this very article with further news and reveals as they happen, so watch this space!
