Pokemon TCG upcoming Paradox cards pack two popular choices

The new trailer for Pokemon TCG showed the new cards that you can add to your decks starting later this year. These critters are none other than the extremely powerful Paradox Pokemon from Generation IX. The release date for this new set of cards was announced to be sometime in Fall 2023, but the exact date has not been shared.

The cards will be divided into two categories based on the game's main story. These categories are 'Ancient' and 'Future.' There will be three under each category, and each critter featured will have a special ability and a special move.

Alongside the new Paradox Pokemon cards, it was also announced that Ace Spec cards will return to the game in 2024.

More Ace Spec cards will enter the Pokemon TCG milieu in 2023 and were teased at the end of the Pokemon World Championships 2023.

Ace Spec cards are a classification of trading cards that were released while the Boundaries Crossed expansion was out. These extremely potent item cards can change the game's outcome.

The use of Ace Spec cards is limited to one per deck because of their extreme swinging capacity. One such Ace Spec card is the Crystal Wall, which has the ability to make Black Kyurem-EX's maximum HP 300.
