Upcoming Pokémon TCG Releases for 2025: All Sets Announced So Far

The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) is set to captivate collectors once again in 2025 as it marks a significant milestone—30 years since the launch of its inaugural set. As the TCG continues to evolve, this year promises to deliver fresh card designs and revive cherished mechanics alongside fan-favorite Pokémon.

In 2025, the Pokémon Company has exciting plans, including the launch of a new Pokémon Legends game titled Z-A. Additionally, the year is themed as the Year of Eevee, offering numerous collectibles centered around this beloved Normal-type Pokémon and its various evolutionary forms. Collectors can anticipate a diverse array of new sets hitting the Western markets, ensuring something special for everyone.

Prismatic Evolutions: A Celebration of Generations

Release Date: January 17, 2025

The Prismatic Evolutions set is drawing considerable attention, prompting some retailers to limit its availability due to security concerns. This surge in popularity can be attributed to the inclusion of iconic Pokémon like Pikachu and Eevee, combined with the vibrant Terastal mechanic introduced in the latest Pokémon games, Scarlet and Violet.

This set elegantly merges elements from Japan’s Terastal Festival ex and the Generations Starter Decks, with a focus on Generation 1 and Generation 9 Pokémon. A few standout cards include the striking Pikachu, Eevee, and all eight of Eevee’s evolutions. Additionally, notable mentions such as Regigigas, which inflicts enhanced damage to Tera Pokémon, and Budew—who has quickly become a tournament favorite—will be featured.

Journey Together: Celebrating Trainers and Their Pokémon

Release Date: March 28, 2025

The upcoming Journey Together set reintroduces a beloved gameplay mechanic by featuring Trainer’s Pokémon, originally known as Owner’s Pokémon. Players can look forward to exclusive cards highlighting iconic trainers from both the games and the anime, accompanied by their partner Pokémon. Notable trainers like N, Iono, Marnie, and Hop are included, paired with creatures like N’s Reshiram and Iono’s Bellibolt EX.

Journey Together will combine elements from Japan-exclusive sets: Battle Partners and portions of the ex Starter Deck Generations. While Prismatic Evolutions has garnered widespread attention from collectors, Journey Together specifically intrigues competitive players with powerful cards such as the full-art rendition of N’s Zorua, which promises both utility in battles and stunning aesthetics.
