Pokemon TCG is ready to leap into Paldea, though it will explore the Galar region one last time with the Crown Zenith expansion. The first products have been released, giving players the chance to collect some of the best cards from the Sword and Shield era. It also features the Galarian Gallery which contains a special subset of cards with stunning full art.
Pokemon TCG fans can expect the next batch of Crown Zenith products in February, and more products will be steadily released until May. It is a special expansion, so there are fewer cards than usual, which will make it easier for fans to complete the set. The Crown Zenith products will be released alongside the Scarlet and Violet products which will feature the new Terastal Pokemon.
All Cards in the Crown Zenith Expansion
Crown Zenith is the last Sword and Shield expansion, and it makes sure that the generation ends with a bang. The main set features gorgeous artwork of Pokemon that can be found in the Galar region. There are plenty of V Pokemon and VSTAR Pokemon cards on offer, including a brilliant Charizard VSTAR card that will be sure to attract plenty of collectors. Zamazenta and Zacian, the Sword and Shield mascots, also receive gorgeous VSTAR cards worth collecting.

The Scarlet and Violet era of Pokemon TCG will bring plenty of changes that fans got a sneak peek of with the Paldea Collection. Most notably, the yellow borders of the English cards have been replaced with the silver borders of the Japanese cards which makes them look more elegant. These changes are not seen with the Crown Zenith cards, as they are still part of the Sword and Shield era of Pokemon TCG.
