About the Scarlet & Violet era

The Scarlet & Violet era brought Pokémon ex back to the card game. It began on November 18, 2022 with 001/SV-P Pikachu as an early purchase bonus for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and Scarlet ex and Violet ex followed on January 20, 2023 with 78 cards and 30 secret cards each, alongside the ex Starter Sets and the Premium Trainer Box ex. The era is also the first run as a single series across Asia: the same sets released in Traditional Chinese from February 3, 2023, in Thai from February 24, 2023, in Indonesian from March 3, 2023 and in Korean from March 15, 2023.

The main expansions kept a steady rhythm. Snow Hazard and Clay Burst on April 14, 2023 became Paldea Evolved with the Triplet Beat enhanced pack, Ruler of the Black Flame on July 28, 2023 became Obsidian Flames, Ancient Roar and Future Flash on October 27, 2023 brought the Paradox Pokémon to Paradox Rift with Raging Surf, and Wild Force and Cyber Judge on January 26, 2024 became Temporal Forces.

Glory of the Rocket Gang on April 18, 2025, with Team Rocket and more Trainer's Pokémon, became Destined Rivals with Heat Wave Arena, and Black Bolt and White Flare on June 6, 2025, 86 cards and 88 secret cards each, closed the era with the Generation V Pokémon.

The special releases carry the collecting weight. Pokémon Card 151 of June 16, 2023, 165 cards and 45 secret cards covering the first 151 Pokémon, became the English 151. Shiny Treasure ex of December 1, 2023, 190 cards and 170 secret cards, became Paldean Fates. Night Wanderer of June 7, 2024 became Shrouded Fable, and Terastal Festival ex of December 6, 2024, 187 cards and 50 secret cards built around Eevee and its Evolutions, became Prismatic Evolutions on January 17, 2025.

Pokémon Card 151 and Glory of the Rocket Gang lead the era's Japanese market, with Shiny Treasure ex, Clay Burst, Ruler of the Black Flame, Stellar Miracle and Super Electric Breaker behind them.
