Pokémon TCG Sees Trainer's Pokémon Return in 2025
The Pokémon Company made a significant announcement at the 2024 Pokémon World Championships: the return of beloved features from the original Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) in 2025.
Nostalgia Strikes: Trainer's Pokémon and Team Rocket Cards Return to the TCG
Official Release Date Pending
The highly anticipated comeback of "Trainer's Pokémon" cards was revealed, alongside a teaser trailer featuring trainers like Marnie, Lillie, and N, and hinting at the potential return of Team Rocket cards.
Trainer's Pokémon cards, a hallmark of the early TCG, depict Pokémon owned by specific trainers, showcasing unique abilities and artwork. The trailer showcased Lillie’s Clefairy ex, Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex, N’s Zoroark ex, and N’s Reshiram.
The teaser also included Mewtwo and the Team Rocket symbol, fueling speculation about a dedicated Team Rocket set or the return of Dark Pokémon, another popular early mechanic associated with Team Rocket and featuring darker, alternative versions of familiar Pokémon. Rumors of a Japanese retailer listing and a trademark filing ("The Glory of Team Rocket") further support this possibility.Paradise Dragona Set Debuts at World Championships
Further exciting news from the Championships: a preview of the upcoming Paradise Dragona set. According to PokeBeach, the preview featured 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 continues its exciting updates, with the Kitikami chapter concluding this month with the release of the Shrouded Fable expansion, boasting 99 cards (64 main cards and 35 secret rares), as detailed on the official Pokémon TCG blog. Fans eagerly await further details on the 2025 releases.
