Pokemon TCG: Mask of Change

The Japanese Pokemon TCG set Mask of Change has just hit the market. Here’s everything you need to know about the expansion set.

Mask of Change, also known as Transformation Mask, is an exciting Pokemon TCG set that’s just come out in Japan. It heavily features fan-favorite ‘mon Ogerpon and has some truly exciting cards that collectors will want to keep an eye on.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Mask of Change set, including when it came out, accompanying releases, and the unique product which’ll be following it.

When did Mask of Change come out?

The Pokemon TCG: Mask of Change expansion set was released in Japan on April 26, 2024. The set was accompanied by the release of an Ogerpon deck box and decorated card sleeves.

Mask of Change takes heavy inspiration from the Scarlet & Violet Teal Mask DLC, so it’s unsurprising that Ogerpon is one of the biggest stars of the show. The same will be true for Twilight Masquerade, which is due to come out in May, too.

There are other incredible Pokemon to keep an eye out for too, including the Loyal Three – Munkidori, Okidogi, and Fezandipti. While Mask of Change undoubtedly has some heavy-hitting cards, this is a real collectors set – the artwork is ridiculously cool and shows off new aspects of underappreciated ‘mons like Chimecho and Wattrel.

Pokemon TCG: Mask of Change Special Jumbo card set contents

As a follow up to the Mask of Change expansion set, fans can expect to see a Special Jumbo Card Set starring Ogerpon dropping in Japan on May 17, 2024.

There will be a handful of incredible Ogerpon-themed cards in this set, with one promo card that caused an absolute uproar when it was revealed on social media. To be more specific, the Special Jumbo Card Set will include:

  • A giant Ogerpon promo
  • A regular Ogerpon promo
  • A Mask promo
  • 8 Mask of Change Booster Packs
  • A card display
  • An Ogerpon coin

If you’re a fan of Ogerpon and want to grab some interesting cards for your collection, this set is worth keeping an eye on – as is the Mask of Change expansion set. The cards in this set are stunning and some of them have the potential to be real collectors items, so it’s worth looking into importing some boxes.

Twilight Masquerade will be the follow-up to Mask of Change, so if you’re keen on the cards but want to wait for English language ones, you won’t have long to wait. Twilight Masquerade will be dropping on May 24, 2024 and it’s looking like it’ll be a gem.
