Pokémon TCG Sees Trainer's Pokémon Return in 2025
The Pokémon Company made a splash at the 2024 Pokémon World Championships, announcing the highly anticipated return of classic Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) mechanics in 2025.
Nostalgia Strikes: Trainer's Pokémon and Team Rocket Cards Return to the TCG
Official Release Date Still Under Wraps
The comeback of "Trainer’s Pokémon" cards was a major highlight of the announcements. A teaser trailer showcased beloved trainers like Marnie, Lillie, and N, alongside their signature Pokémon: Lillie’s Clefairy ex, Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex, N’s Zoroark ex, and N’s Reshiram. This nostalgic element, a staple of early TCG sets, featured unique artwork and abilities tied to specific trainers.
Further fueling excitement, the trailer hinted at the potential return of Team Rocket, showcasing Mewtwo alongside the infamous team's logo. This has sparked speculation about a dedicated Team Rocket expansion, possibly even bringing back the popular Dark Pokémon mechanic—aggressive, alternative versions of familiar Pokémon—associated with the villainous team. Rumors, including a Japanese retailer listing and a trademark filing ("The Glory of Team Rocket") by The Pokémon Company, add weight to these anticipations.Paradise Dragona Set Debuts at World Championships
The World Championships also offered a sneak peek at the upcoming Paradise Dragona set. PokeBeach reported showcasing cards featuring Latias, Latios, Exeggcute, and Alolan Exeggutor ex. This Japanese Dragon-type focused subset is slated for an English release as part of the Surging Sparks set in November 2024.
The Pokémon TCG is currently concluding its Kitikami chapter with the release of the Shrouded Fable set this month, boasting 99 cards (64 main cards and 35 secret rare cards) according to the official blog. While specific dates for the Trainer's Pokémon and Team Rocket releases remain unconfirmed, the anticipation is palpable.
