Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates arrives January 2024

The Pokemon Company has revealed one of its first sets for 2024. The Scarlet & Violet – Paldean Fates set arrives on January 26, and it shines a spotlight on the Shinies of the Pokemon world.

According to The Pokemon Company, the upcoming set will feature over a hundred Shiny Pokemon, including Pikachu, Tinkaton, Ceruledge, and Dondozo. You’ll also get a chance to score Shiny Pokemon in their Tera form, such as Charizard, Forretress, and Espathra.

It’s a relatively large set that will feature over 240 cards, including six hyper-rare Pokemon ex cards. You can also hope to find Ancient and Future Paradox Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Iron Treads, as well as eight special illustration rare cards featuring Shiny Pokemon ex or Supporter cards.

The hunt for Shiny Pokemon begins!
