• 40+ Trainer’s Pokémon featuring N's Zoroark ex, Iono’s Bellibolt ex, and Lillie’s Clefairy ex

• 3 hyper rare gold-etched cards

Trainer Highlights

N's Pokémon

N’s Zoroark ex brings back the legendary Trade ability, allowing players to discard a card and draw two. It can also copy attacks from other Pokémon, such as N’s Reshiram (powerful revenge attack) and N’s Darmanitan (spread damage strategy).

Lillie's Pokémon

Lillie’s team includes Clefairy ex, Ribombee, and Comfey, with a game-changing Tool card: Lillie's Pearl. This reduces the Prize cards given up when knocked out, making Lillie’s Pokémon highly strategic.

Hop’s Pokémon

Hop’s Zacian ex stands out with a powerful double-target attack, hitting both the Active and a Benched Pokémon for just one Colorless Energy. Additional support from Hop’s Snorlax, Postwick Stadium, and Hop’s Choice Band makes this an aggressive and flexible deck option.

Iono’s Pokémon

Iono’s Bellibolt ex fuels an energy-heavy strategy, allowing Lightning Energy to be attached freely. With support from Iono’s Voltorb (damage scaling with Energy) and Iono’s Kilowattrel (draw power), this deck is ideal for new players.

Box Toppers & Booster Boxes

This expansion introduces the return of Box Toppers, special promotional cards included in select booster boxes:

• Enhanced Booster Display Box: Includes a stamped variant of N's Reshiram
• Regular Booster Display Box: Does not contain Box Toppers

Languages & Availability

Journey Together is the first Pokémon TCG expansion to be available in Latin American Spanish, alongside English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Final Thoughts

Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together is a must-have expansion for fans of classic Trainer’s Pokémon mechanics. Whether you’re a collector or a competitive player, the mix of powerful Pokémon ex, rare illustrations, and strategic depth make this set an exciting addition to the Pokémon TCG universe.
