Iron Treads ex, Gardevoir ex, and More “Scarlet ex & Violet ex” Cards Revealed!
Several more cards have just been revealed from the Japanese sets Scarlet ex and Violet ex! The sets will release in Japan on January 20th. In English, these cards will release in our Scarlet & Violet set on March 31st.
The TCG will be giving us the Paradox Pokemon right off the bat — Iron Treads and Great Tusk will be Pokemon ex in the set. If you didn’t play the games, all you need to know is that they’re entirely different Pokemon than Donphan. They’re not formes. If you want to know more about Paradox Pokemon, you should play the games. There is quite a bit of story and lore behind the Paradox Pokemon.
Thanks goes to JustInBasil and Toine L. for the translations!
