Overview
- Paradox Drive, which launches Wednesday, May 27, has been announced by The Pokémon Company and DeNA as the next themed booster for Pokémon TCG Pocket.
- The reveal trailer showcased high-profile ex cards including Koraidon ex, Miraidon ex, Flutter Mane ex, and Iron Bundle ex, plus new Trainer and Item support such as Professor Sada, Professor Turo, and Ancient/Future Booster Energy Capsules.
- The release will be paired with a slate of in-game events through late May and June, including a Paradox Drive Emblem Event, Community Week, a Ceruledge ex Drop Event, and a Wonder Pick promotion that hand out emblems, promo packs, and other rewards.
- Some outlets report a May 28 release instead of May 27, creating a one-day date discrepancy in published launch times that players should watch for in official channels.
- The Paradox cards originate from Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and introduce Ancient and Future subcategories that early reporting says could create new synergies, with one account claiming the set may top 200 cards; competitive impact will depend on post-release playtesting and how players use the new trainer and booster mechanics.
