Attention, all Trainers of Pokémon Pocket! On May 21, 2026, The Pokémon Company unveiled an announcement that is set to shake up the world of our favorite card game: the imminent arrival of the “Paradox Drive” themed booster. Marking an exciting turning point, this new expansion will be available from May 28, 2026, promising to enrich our collections with creatures inspired by the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games. A new trailer, to be found on the official Pokémon YouTube channel, rounds out the announcement to whet our appetites.
Paradox Pokémon arrive in force!
Paradox Drive is not just another expansion; it is an invitation to explore the duality of Paradox Pokémon. For the first time in Pokémon TCG Pocket, we will see the emergence of “Ancient” and “Future” cards. This distinction promises to bring unprecedented strategic depth, encouraging Trainers to rethink their decks and tactics. Imagine the combined power of “Ancient” and “Future” cards, creating devastating synergies to dominate your opponents.
Among the stars of this expansion, Trainers will be delighted to find the legendary Pokémon Koraidon and Miraidon. Their presence in Pokémon TCG Pocket is a dream opportunity to collect cards bearing the likeness of these iconic creatures, while discovering their strategic potential within the new “Ancient” and “Future” mechanics. The ability to build powerful decks by combining these cards promises hours of intense and rewarding play.
