With Sword & Shield officially concluded, the Scarlet & Violet era of the Pokémon TCG kicked off in March 2023 with a focus on the ninth generation of Pokémon games and the new region: Paldea. It all began with the Scarlet & Violet base set, which introduced major, lasting changes to the hobby.
Now, the borders of the cards have become silver, matching the Japanese releases. Another major change is that now, each pack culminates in at least a holo-rare and two reverse holos. The major mechanic of this era is the lowercase ex, which features a double holographic pattern of a horizontal shine and a starry sparkle. Full Art exs now use a green, foil outline around the Pokémon.

There are even more Pyroar in the distance. This certainly has The Lion King vibes while still being very much its own piece, thanks to strong artwork from Po-Suzuki. This is actually Po-Suzuki's first-ever credit in the Pokémon TCG, and it's on a Secret Rare right out of the gate.
