2025 looks promising for the tabletop version of Pokemon TCG, with a variety of new sets and products on the horizon. This year is expected to be just as exciting for the recently launched Pokemon TCG Pocket. While not all details about this year’s Pokemon TCG releases have been disclosed, some major announcements have already been made for early 2025.

The Pokemon Trading Card Game’s Surging Spark collection wrapped up in 2024 spectacularly due to the much-desired Special Illustration Rare Tera Pikachu Ex, which became exceptionally valuable after its release, soaring to approximately $500. The new year, 2025, is off to a similar high note with its initial significant set – Prismatic Evolutions.

Prismatic Evolutions – January 17, 2025

The highly anticipated release “Prismatic Evolutions” for the Pokemon Trading Card Game is poised to be one of its largest launches this year, or perhaps even in recent years, primarily due to its concentration on Eevee and its evolutions. Each of these characters will have both an Ex version and a Special Illustration Rare version, making them the set’s cards most likely to hold significant value given Eevee and its evolution’s widespread popularity, coupled with the striking artwork on each card. The main set is scheduled for release on January 17, 2025, however, further releases are planned over a series of months. The array of available products encompasses:

  • Prismatic Evolutions booster packs and booster boxes – January 17
  • Prismatic Evolutions Elite Trainer Box – January 17
  • Prismatic Evolutions Binder Collection – January 17
  • Prismatic Evolutions Poster Collection – January 17
  • Prismatic Evolutions Tech Sticker Collection – January 17
  • Prismatic Evolutions Mini Tins – February 7
  • Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box – February 7
  • Prismatic Evolutions Eevee Promo Blister – February 21
  • Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundle – March 7
  • Prismatic Evolutions Accessory Pouch Special Collection – April 25
  • Prismatic Evolutions Super Premium Collection – May 16
  • Prismatic Evolutions Premium Figure Collection – September 26

Small Pokemon TCG 2025 Releases To Keep an Eye On

In addition to the anticipated Pokemon TCG sets for 2025, there are also standalone mini-releases that have already been confirmed. Some of these are worth highlighting:

This way, it provides a clearer context about the upcoming releases and their independence from specific Pokemon TCG sets.

  • Scarlet and Violet 151: Blooming Waters Premium Collection – Feb 7
  • World Championships 2024 Decks: Evan Pavelski’s Regidrago VStar Deck, Fernando Cifuentes’ Crushing Thorn Deck, Jesse Parker’s The ‘Don Deck, and Sakuya Ota’s Ancient Toolbox Deck – March 7

Given that it’s challenging to find the Pokémon TCG’s 151 set on store shelves, Blooming Waters might serve as an excellent alternative for enthusiasts, offering them a chance to acquire booster packs since the collection includes twelve of them.

Journey Together – March 28, 2025

In the world of Pokemon TCG, Prismatic Evolutions is expected to be a blockbuster release this year, but it’s just the beginning. More significant sets are on their way. Another highly anticipated drop is the return of Trainer’s Pokemon cards with the Journey Together set, scheduled for March 28. This set is inspired by the Japanese Battle Partners set from January 24, 2025. The Journey Together collection will feature renowned trainers like N, Hop, and Iono from the video games in its new Trainer’s Pokemon lineup.

Predicting Other Big Pokemon TCG Releases For 2025

For the Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG), speculation surrounds what lies ahead beyond our current journey together. Typically, new sets and products are rolled out following a predictable pattern. This could mean that we might expect a major release in June 2025, followed by another around September/October, and a third one towards November/December.

It’s reasonable to assume that the anticipated June 2025 set could include cards from the upcoming Japanese sets – Heat Wave Arena (slated for March 14, 2025) and The Glory of Team Rocket (April 18, 2025). Similarly, the English release scheduled for September/October might be linked to the Black Bolt and White Flare sets for the Pokemon TCG in Japan.

2025 saw new leaks concerning Pokemon video games, and there are whispers once more that re-releases of Generation 5 might occur this very year. Should that happen, the Black Bolt and White Flare sets could complement the games wonderfully.
