The Expansion Should Arrive In Early November
In addition to the new Stellar Tera Pokémon ex and the Tera Pokémon ex cards, which will likely be some of the most valuable in the set, the expansion will also add eight ACE SPEC cards, 23 Illustration Rare Pokémon, 11 Special Illustration Rare Pokémon and Supporter cards, as well as six Hyper Rare gold-etched cards.TheSurging Sparksexpansion is set to arrive in Western markets starting on November 8this year. Its release will be preceded by therelease ofPokémon TCG: Stellar Crownin September.
While the Japan-exclusiveParadise Dragonais being adapted intoSurging Sparks, that is not the only set it will incorporate. In fact,Surging Sparksis a mix betweenParadise DragonaandSupercharged Breaker, both of which will be released exclusively in Japan before being fused into the set for Western markets.
This will make the upcoming expansion a fine mix between Dragon-type and Electric-type creatures, even if it will not limit itself to those types of creatures inPokémon TCG.
Ever since the mechanic’s introduction into the card game, Stellar Tera Pokémon ex and Tera Pokémon ex have been dominating the gameplay meta, often surpassing the power of the regular Pokémon ex cards thanks to their versatility when it comes to Energy consumption for attacks. They have shaken up the standard mode, especially as V, Vmax, and V-Star cards are starting to be left behind, either because of better cards or because they are falling out of the permitted rotation inPokémon TCG.
