Paldea Evolved
Set Details
Command a Rousing Performance!
Energy surges as new powers awaken and perilous legends are revealed! First partners Meowscarada ex, Skeledirge ex, and Quaquaval ex have evolved to take the stage with mesmerizing magic, song, and dance. Meanwhile, Forretress, Slowking, and Dedenne shine as Tera Pokémon ex, and Chien-Pao ex, Ting-Lu ex, and others bring daunting strengths requiring courage to command. Even Pikachu joins the Pokémon ex party in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Paldea Evolved expansion!
The Paldea Evolved Pokémon Set bursts onto the Scarlet & Violet Series as its second main expansion, combining Japan’s Snow Hazard and Clay Burst blocks (released April 14, 2023) into one streamlined English set on June 9, 2023. Centered on the final evolutions of Paldea’s first partners—Meowscarada, Skeledirge, and Quaquaval—this dual‑themed expansion also reunites the mystical Treasures of Ruin Pokémon like Chien‑Pao and Ting‑Lu, alongside new Trainer support drawn from the Pikachu ex & Pawmot Starter Set and Premium Trainer Box ex. With over 240 cards to collect, Paldea Evolved brings fresh art, dynamic gameplay, and a dash of regional nostalgia to every booster.
Gameplay depth comes courtesy of fourteen Pokémon ex and three Tera Pokémon ex, each boasting powerful attacks and Terastal‑inspired Ancient‑Trait–style abilities. Illustration Rares return in force—36 of your favorite creatures rendered in full‑art glory—while eighteen Ultra Rare ex cards, eight Ultra Rare Supporters, fifteen Special Illustration Rares, and nine Hyper Rare Gold Etched cards fill out chase lists. Snow Hazard focuses on Water‑type strength (with no Fire or Lightning), spotlighting Chien‑Pao ex, while Clay Burst delivers Fighting‑type fury via Ting‑Lu ex (with no Water or Metal), encouraging cross‑set trades and strategic deckbuilding.
Collectors and fans will find Paldea Evolved rich with hidden gems. Early Elite Trainer Boxes spawned a mini‑craze for miscut Gold Etched Charizard ex, where the metallic foil pattern drifted artfully into the border—instant error‑card legends. The Treasures of Ruin cards debut “RUIN” set symbols subtly etched into their corner, nodding to Paldea’s ancient past. Meanwhile, rumor has it that a handful of Tera Pokémon ex pulled with misaligned Ancient‑Trait icons became overnight auction favorites. Whether you’re crafting a Terastal powerhouse or framing every illustration rare, the Paldea Evolved Pokémon Set delivers a thrilling evolution of the Scarlet & Violet saga.
