Pokemon TCG has revealed the sets involving the starter Pokemon from Scarlet and Violet and their evolutions. Pokemon TCG has continued to be played among fans since the early days of the franchise. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were released in late 2022. and fans have needed to wait for this installment in the franchise to have its own Pokemon TCG sets involving the starter Pokemon.
The Pokemon TCG started back in the early beginnings of the franchise and has been popular through each generation of the Pokemon video games. After the final Sword and Shield expansion to the Pokemon TCG was released, it was expected that The Pokemon Company would be stepping away from the game and moving toward Scarlet and Violet.
The Pokemon Company has revealed the next official Pokemon TCG set, and it will be another centered around Scarlet and Violet. Following the previous Scarlet and Violet products already revealed, this particular set is called Triple Beat and features the starter Pokemon from Scarlet and Violet and their evolutions. The adorable art for this new set was shared on The Pokemon Company YouTube channel and also by Serebii's Joe Merrick on Twitter. Both the rare and normal versions of the cards are revealed in The Pokemon Company's YouTube video. The Triple Beat Pokemon TCG sets so far only have a release date set for March 10, 2023, in Japan, with no Western date set for now.
The images shown so far are of the rare, holographic versions of the cards, with some of the cutest being the pre-evolution starters. Fuecoco is seen in a shopping cart, Quaxly is showing off in a mirror, and Sprigatito is napping in a flowerbed. Each card seems to convey an element of each Pokemon's personality that fans already know and love. The normal versions of the cards hold a similar charm in each evolution. The Pokemon TCG is known for having gorgeous card designs, and this set is no different.
The most popular in this set is Fuecoco, with most comments in Joe Merrick's tweet pointing out the adorable fire crocodile's expression and mannerisms. Each of these Pokemon has its own personality, and the art conveys them perfectly. This exciting set comes among the news that Pokemon TCG is going through some major changes in 2023, but whether those changes will affect the popularity of this set is unknown.
Pokemon TCG fans have a treat coming their way in the Triple Beat set, and even though it doesn't have a Western release date yet, there is at least something for fans to look forward to. With Pokemon TCG Live now in global beta, Pokemon TCG fans have plenty of time to plan their decks accordingly.
