New Pokemon TCG Paldea Evolved cards

Fans already have a fairly good idea of what cards to expect from the Paldea Evolved set, thanks to early news from Japan. Overseas, Paldea Evolved released in two sets called Triple Beat as well as Snow Hazard and Clay Burst.

The big stars of Triple Beat were the final evolutions of the Paldean Starter Pokemon as ex cards. Now, fans know that Meowscarada ex, Skeledirge ex, and Quaquaval ex will arrive in the Paldea Evolved set over seas.

Additionally, a post on the Pokemon blog noted that Forretress, Slowking, and Dedenne will be included as Tera Pokemon ex.

Additionally, the Snow Hazard and Clay Burst sets featured Chien-Pao ex and Ting-Lu ex respectively, which will also be part of the Paldea Evolved set. Both Chien-Wo ex and Chi-Yu ex will also be part of the Paldea Evolved set, meaning the full Treasures of Ruin quartet will be represented in the Pokemon TCG.

All in all, the blog said trainers can expect the following from Paldea Evolved:

• Over 190 cards
• More than 15 brand-new Pokémon ex: a new take on a returning game mechanic
• Tera Pokémon ex with a crystalline appearance
• More than 30 Trainer cards
• Dozens of Pokémon and Trainer cards with special illustrations
