Inspired by the Pokémon Paradox from the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, the addition of Scarlet & Violet - Paradox Rift will introduce ancient Pokémon, Pokémon of the Future and trainer cards that were recently unveiled at the Pokémon 2023 World Championships. Ancient Pokémon embodying stamina and power, usually have direct attacks that deal a lot of damage and are harder to knock out. Utilising speed and technique, Future Pokémon have abilities and attacks with additional effects that allow for clever manoeuvres and sneaky strategy. In addition, Ancient Trainers cards usually support ancient Pokémon, and Future Trainers cards support future Pokémon.

The upcoming expansion to Pokémon TCG will also see the return of tech machines, which will appear as new Pokémon Tool cards. When included, they allow access to a new attack.
