Scarlet & Violet: Stellar Crown just announced! Pokemon TCG

Update - 29/07/24

A bunch of English proxies have been released for Pokemon Stellar Crown, including the Stellar type Tera Lapras ex, Galvantula ex and Cinderace ex! Click the button below to jump to the card previews.


Original - 27/06/24

The next Pokemon TCG set, Scarlet & Violet - Stellar Crown, has just been announced!

Release Date and Set Details

Save the date! This set will be released on September 13th 2024 and is expected to have over 170 cards! This includes more than a dozen new Pokemon ex, even more new ACE SPEC cards, 20 trainer cards and 30 cards with special illustrations! With Stellar Crown focusing on terastalised Pokemon, we are hopefully going to see some really stunning artworks from the special illustrations. We already got a glimpse of some cards to expect with this set, which you can see over on our Stellar Miracle Spoilers blog!

New Pokémon ex and introducing Stellar Tera Pokémon

As with every new set, we can expect to see so many new Pokemon ex! We're already guaranteed to have Cinderace ex, Lapras ex, Galvantula ex and Terapagos ex as they're featured on the pack artwork (and Terapagos ex was revealed as part of Stellar Miracle).

The interesting thing about this set is we are being introduced to Stellar Tera Pokemon, which feature powerful attacks that cost different types of energy - three to be precise. Each attack is inspired by various gemstones, such as Terapagos ex's "Crown Opal" or "Larimar Rain" from Laprax ex.

These attacks are similar to that which we saw for Crystal Pokemon in the e-Series back in the day, but they don't have a special mechanic label therefore can't be targeted by cards or effects outside their Tera label, it's essentially a thematic mechanic. These cards can be distinguished by their rainbow-coloured borders and almost opalescent backgrounds!

Beautiful Illustrations

Scarlet & Violet - Stellar Crown also, as usual, features some of the most beautiful artwork within the TCG. With special illustration rare cards, your collection will look better than ever. Take the Elite Trainer Box promo card, for example. This Noctowl is not only a highly playable card (allowing you to search your deck for up to 2 Trainer cards, dependent on your cards in play), but it's also truly stunning! Not to mention, the Stellar type Tera cards look like gemstones in themselves, we're really expecting Pokemon to have pulled out all the stops with the 7th set for Scarlet & Violet.

Trainer Cards and More

We're expecting to see so many new Trainer Cards, and ACE SPEC! As before, we've already gotten a glimpse of some upcoming cards we will hopefully receive in this set, such as Briar (You can play this card only if your opponent has exactly 2 Prize cards remaining. Until the end of this turn, if your opponent's Active Pokemon is Knocked Out by damage from 1 of your Tera Pokemon attacks, take 1 more prize card.) or the highly playable Sparkling Crystal (The attack cost of the Tera Pokemon this card is attached to is reduced by 1 of any type of Energy.) Arguably, one of the stand-out cards from this set could be Area Zero Underdepths, which increases your benched Pokemon to 8 from 5 if they have a Tera Pokemon in play!
