This set brings back the fan-favorite Trainer's Pokémon cards - a special card type that pairs iconic Pokémon with their recognizable Trainers. First introduced in the Gym Heroes expansion, these cards bring fresh strategic depth to battles with their unique mechanics.
Trainer's Pokémon Return with New Battle Strategies
Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together's headline feature is the revival of Trainer's Pokémon, showcasing powerful synergy between famous Pokémon and their trainers. Some of the most anticipated returning combinations include:

This expansion also introduces 16 brand-new Pokémon ex cards, along with stunning ultra-rare artwork variations and premium gold-etched collector's items. These new additions will be available for play in both physical tournaments and digital platforms like Pokémon TCG Live.
Breaking Language Barriers
The Journey Together expansion marks a significant step toward inclusivity with its debut in Latin American Spanish. This initiative allows more players to enjoy the game in their native language, from casual play to competitive events, while strengthening Pokémon's presence across Latin American communities.
