Pokémon TCG 2025: The Return of Trainer's Pokémon and a Glimpse of Team Rocket

Pokémon TCG Sees Trainer's Pokémon Return in 2025

The Pokémon Company International made a splash at the 2024 Pokémon World Championships, announcing the highly anticipated return of classic Pokémon TCG mechanics in 2025. A nostalgic wave swept through fans with the reveal of "Trainer's Pokémon" cards and a tantalizing hint at a Team Rocket comeback.

While no official release date has been confirmed, the announcement included a teaser trailer showcasing beloved trainers like Marnie, Lillie, and N, alongside their signature Pokémon. Featured Trainer's Pokémon included Lillie's Clefairy ex, Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex, N's Zoroark ex, and N's Reshiram. These cards, a hallmark of the early TCG, featured unique abilities and artwork, setting them apart from standard Pokémon cards.

The trailer also subtly hinted at the return of Team Rocket, depicting Mewtwo alongside the infamous duo's symbol. This fueled speculation about a dedicated Team Rocket expansion, potentially bringing back the popular Dark Pokémon mechanic—shadowy, powerful versions of familiar Pokémon—associated with the nefarious team. While rumors have circulated, including a Japanese retailer listing and a trademark filing ("The Glory of Team Rocket"), official confirmation remains pending.

Upcoming Releases: Shrouded Fable

The Pokémon TCG is currently concluding its Kitikami chapter with the release of Shrouded Fable this month. This expansion boasts 99 cards: 64 standard cards and 35 secret rare cards, according to the official Pokémon TCG blog. The anticipation for these new releases, alongside the promised return of beloved mechanics in 2025, has the Pokémon TCG community buzzing with excitement.
