The launch of this latest set will include the usual mix of booster packs, Elite Trainer Boxes, and special collections at both online and physical retailers.

But the biggest addition is that this new set will bring back Ace Spec cards. These cards were first introduced in Black & White, and when played would have devastating effects on the game. The downside is you could only have one of these cards in your deck.

Noteworthy cards from the set include the following:

  • Seven Ace Spec Trainer and Special Energy Cards
  • 13 Pokemon ex two Tera Pokemon ex Cards
  • 22 illustration rare Pokemon
  • 10 special illustration rare Pokemon and Supporter Cards
  • Six hyper rare gold etched cards

 Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet Temporal Forces will launch at participating retailers around the world on March 22, 2024.
