Every Pokémon TCG Set Still Releasing In 2024

There are only a few Pokémon TCG sets left in 2024. Here’s every major Pokémon set players can expect to be released by the end of this year.

Will Paradise Dragona Get An English Release?

Cards From Paradise Dragona Might Be Included In An English TCG Expansion

Although no official announcements have been made,it’s likely that most, if not all, of the cards inParadise Dragonawill be released in English in theSurging Sparksexpansionset to release in November. The current speculation is thatSurging Sparkswill be made up of several Japan-exclusive sets, includingParadise Dragonaand the previously revealedSupercharged Breakerset, which is scheduled for an October release.

Unfortunately, however,there are no guarantees that every card fromParadise Dragonawill be made available in English. Although the majority of cards now receive international releases, there are still a fair number of cards that have never been released outside of Japan, making them difficult to collect for overseas fans. These include cards like “Hungry Snorlax” (originally released in Japan in 1997) which, for whatever reason, have never received an English translation or release.

All Pokémon TCG: Shrouded Fable Cards Appear Online Days Before Release

Just days before the worldwide release of the Shrouded Fable set for the Pokémon TCG, every card in the expansion is now available to see online.

For the most part, however, cards that are initially released in Japan tend to get English releases at a later date, and it’s more likely than not that at least most ofParadise Dragonawill be present in a future English expansion. Currently, it’s speculated that the set will be one of several making up theSurging Sparksexpansion, scheduled for a November release, but until more information on that expansion is unveiled, it’s uncertain how and when the cards from the most recently announcedPokémon TCGset will make their way out of Japan.
