Welcome to the land of Kitakami, where people and Pokémon live harmoniously with nature.
The set will follow SV6 Twilight Masquerade on May 24th and precede our SV7 set in the fall.
The first wave of 6.5 products will include:
These will only be the first wave of products to release. More will come throughout the fall.
Like all special sets, booster packs of the set will not be sold individually. They will only be available through special products like the ones above.
Pokebeach has first reported about the Set being revealed in Japanese, and now they are speculating about the contents of the English expansion.
If Paradise Dragona releases in Japan this August, it would be the likely candidate for our English set. It’s currently the Year of the Dragon, so a special Dragon-themed set would perfectly commemorate 2024.
We’ve received two special Dragon-themed set before: Dragon Vault in October 2012 and Dragon Majesty in September 2018. This upcoming set could be a third “Dragon” set in the same vein as Hidden Fates, Shining Fates, and Paldean Fates.
The TCG has celebrated Dragon-type Pokemon many times, even in main expansions. We had EX Dragon in 2003, EX Dragon Frontiers in 2006, Dragons Exalted in 2013, Roaring Skies in 2015, and Evolving Skies in 2021.
Our special set could feature Stellar Miracle instead, which will release in Japan on July 19th. This certainly matches up with the timing of an August English set.
However, it seems more likely Stellar Miracle would stay a main series set since it will be introducing the Stellar Tera type and Terapagos to the TCG. Each of the main English sets this block have introduced a major new Pokemon or mechanic.
Granted, we don’t know much about Stellar Miracle at this point, so we could be surprised. For example, maybe Stellar Miracle will only be previewing the new Stellar Tera type before it goes into full swing. Maybe it will only introduce Terapagos’s Normal Form and then we’ll get its Terastal and Stellar forms in a main set later.
