## Pokémon TCG 2025: A Year of Exciting Releases
2024 ended with a bang for the Pokémon TCG, thanks to the Surging Spark set and its highly coveted Special Illustration Rare Tera Pikachu EX. This trend of high-value cards continues into 2025, promising a year packed with exciting new sets and products for both the tabletop and Pocket TCG versions. While not all releases have been officially unveiled, several significant launches are already confirmed.
The year kicks off with Prismatic Evolutions, a set poised to be one of the biggest of the year, if not in recent memory. Its focus on Eevee and its popular Eeveelutions, each featuring both an EX version and a Special Illustration Rare, is expected to generate significant collector interest. The stunning artwork on these cards further enhances their appeal. The main set releases on January 17th, 2025, with additional products and releases spanning several months.
Beyond the core set, several smaller releases are planned for 2025. These include [list the confirmed smaller releases here – information was missing from the original text]. Given the ongoing scarcity of the Pokémon TCG: 151 set, these smaller releases, particularly those containing booster packs like Blooming Waters (with its 12 included packs), offer collectors a valuable opportunity to expand their collections.
Following Prismatic Evolutions, another major release is Journey Together, launching March 28th, 2025. Based on the Japanese “Battle Partners” set, Journey Together marks a return to Trainer Pokémon cards, featuring popular characters like N, Hop, and Iono.
While the specifics remain speculative, the typical Pokémon TCG release schedule suggests further major sets around June, September/October, and November/December 2025. The June set might incorporate cards from the upcoming Japanese sets, Heat Wave Arena (March 14th, 2025) and The Glory of Team Rocket (April 18th, 2025). Similarly, the September/October release could be linked to the Japanese Black Bolt and White Flare sets. The potential release of Pokémon Gen 5 remakes in 2025 would create a particularly strong synergy with the latter sets.
The Pokémon TCG continues to thrive, offering collectors and players alike a consistently evolving and exciting experience. 2025 promises to be a year of significant releases and valuable additions to the ever-expanding world of Pokémon cards.
