All upcoming Pokemon TCG releases (May 2024)

Looking forward to the next Pokemon TCG releases? We’ve gathered every Pokemon TCG product dropping this month here, with release dates and expansion set information.

The Pokemon trading card game has a busy schedule (too busy, some might say) and there’s a lot coming up in the next month to look forward to as a collector.

Here, we’ve gathered all of the Pokemon TCG releases coming up this month – including both English and Japanese releases – with their release dates, set information, and other key details. You’ll find both individual products and entire expansion sets in this list, sorted by release date.

May 11

At the time of writing, there’s only one item lined up for release at the beginning of May this year. It’s looking like a much quieter release month for Pokemon fans so far, but there’s plenty to look forward to later on in the year, like the supposed Paradise Dragona.

Special Jumbo Card Set

The next product that Pokemon fans can get excited about seeing is the Special Jumbo Card Set, featuring the fan-favorite Ogerpon as the star of the show. This product is a follow-up to the recent Mask of Change expansion set and it looks like it’ll be incredible, coming out on May 11th, 2024.

As this is a Mask of Change product, it is important to note that it will be a Japan exclusive. If you’re not based in Japan, you’ll need to find a trustworthy retailer to sort out the import process for you. It’s worth the effort though, as the product will contain:

• A giant Ogerpon promo card
• A regular Ogerpon promo card
• A promo card with all of the Ogerpon masks
• 8 Mask of Change Booster Packs
• A jumbo card display
• An Ogerpon coin

The promo cards are the real selling point here, as they feature arguably some of the best Ogerpon cards currently in the game.

May 24

There’s a major set release to get excited about later in May this year and there’s also an exciting new product on the horizon, too.

Twilight Masquerade

The next expansion set for the Pokemon TCG is Twilight Masquerade and it’ll be coming out on May 24, 2024. This is the follow-up to Mask of Change and it’s looking like it’ll be one of the most exciting 2024 sets so far.

Twilight Masquerade will be heavily featuring Ogerpon as discussed but other iconic ‘mons like the Loyal Three, Bloodmoon Ursaluna, and Tatsugiri will make an appearance, too. If you enjoyed the Paradox Pokemon representation in Temporal Forces, you’ll love this set.

Fans will be able to nab an Elite Trainer Box, a Booster Display Box, and a Booster Bundle, along with standard Booster Packs. You can currently find the Elite Trainer Box up for pre-order at:

• Amazon
• Best Buy
• Magic Madhouse

Magic Madhouse is a fantastic retailer but it is important to note that they’re based in the UK. Shipping may take longer if you’re in another location.

Paradox Clash Tins

Some brand new Tins are also set to come out on May 24, 2024, and they’re a must-have for any fans of Walking Wake and Iron Leaves.

Paradox Clash Tins will be great collector’s items but they also hold some value for competitive players too. This is thanks to the mighty ex card featured in each one.

Paradox Clash Tins will contain:

• A foil promo card with an ex Paradox Pokemon
• 4 Booster Packs
• A code card for Pokemon TCG Live

Currently, we’d recommend pre-ordering the Paradox Clash Tins at Best Buy or Magic Madhouse. Some stores don’t have these items up for pre-order yet but we’ll be sure to update this article with further information once more stores do.

Unconfirmed

There is one final product that we could see coming out in May this year, called the Triple Whammy Tins. It’s important to stress that this has not been officially confirmed yet – the release date for these Tins is purely speculation on our part.

The Triple Whammy Tins are set to feature Tyranitar, Darkrai, and Slaking as the starring ex ‘mons, along with a host of exciting cards initially found in Obsidian Flames and Paldea Evolved. Some believe that these Tins could be half-tins, meaning half the size of standard Pokemon TCG Tins.

We don’t have any further information on these products at the time of writing but we will be sure to update this article as soon as we find out, so do check back.

May is looking like a decent month for both collectors and players. If you’re planning to pick up some new cards this month, make sure you’ve got enough binders and card sleeves to keep them all in solid condition – proper storage is essential as a Pokemon TCG collector.
