The Pokémon Company has announced that the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Journey Together Build & Battle Box will be available starting on March 15th, 2025.

Get the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Journey Together Build & Battle Box Early

Enjoy quick games and powerful promo cards with the Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together Build & Battle Box. The latest Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion, Scarlet & Violet— Journey Together, arrives March 28, 2025, but you can visit your local game store to play with it early! Starting March 15, 2025, select retailers will begin selling the Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together Build & Battle Box, giving fans a chance to have a Prerelease battle and experience the latest expansion before its official release date. To find a Prerelease event near you, be sure to use the event locator.

The Prerelease format allows players to compete using a 40-card deck with four Prize cards set aside at the start of play, as opposed to a 60-card deck with six Prize cards. This format is perfect for introducing new players to the exciting world of the Pokémon TCG with quick, fun games, and it also gives seasoned players a window into all that Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together has to offer. Due to the limited card pool and the variance of cards that can be acquired in a Build & Battle Box, Prerelease events are also a great opportunity to flex your creative deck-building muscles.

Each Build & Battle Box includes four Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together booster packs and a 40-card ready-to-play deck featuring key cards from current and prior sets as well as one of four unique foil promo cards. Depending on which promo card you get, you could be playing with the fiery N’s Darmanitan, the electric Iono’s Kilowattrel, the inviting Lillie’s Ribombee, or the helpful Hop’s Snorlax. Whichever promo card you end up with will certainly shape your Prerelease strategy!

N’s Darmanitan

N’s Darmanitan is the perfect combination of Darmanitan’s explosive power and N’s calculated genius. Its Back Draft attack can do a ton of damage for just Colorless Colorless, punishing opponents who discard too many Energy cards, while Flamebody Cannon can take two Knock Outs at once in the right situation for Fire Fire Colorless. With “gusting” effects being a premium in Prerelease formats, Flamebody Cannon doing 90 damage to both the Active Pokémon and a Benched Pokémon is likely to make a huge impact in your matches.

Iono’s Kilowattrel

Draw support is always extremely powerful in Prerelease formats due to the smaller deck size and lack of Supporter cards, so Iono’s Kilowattrel is likely to galvanize your deck like no other. If Iono’s Kilowattrel is your Prerelease promo, your deck is likely to have plenty of Lightning Energy to feed its Ability as well as the attacks of other Iono’s Pokémon. Make sure to keep that count just right—you’ll need to attach Energy for the turn and discard it to use Iono’s Kilowattrel’s Ability, but you still need room for the rest of your deck!

Lillie’s Ribombee

Lillie’s Ribombee might be inviting, but behind its unassuming wink is an Ability that will leave your opponent’s plans jammed. When Lillie’s Ribombee evolves, you may have your opponent reveal their hand and put any number of Basic Pokémon found there onto their Bench. This can be a disruptive tactic, forcing certain Pokémon your opponent doesn’t want in play onto the Bench, but it can also be an informative one—you can make distinct decisions that take advantage of the knowledge that you gained from looking at your opponent’s hand.

Hop’s Snorlax

Oh yeah, Hop’s Snorlax has had a few extra helpings, and it’s ready to help lead you to victory. Its Extra Helpings Ability doesn’t stack—meaning that if you have two Hop’s Snorlax in play, your Hop’s Pokémon won’t do 60 extra damage—but 30 bonus damage is more than enough. On its own, Hop’s Snorlax can do 170 damage for just three Energy, enough to Knock Out most non-ex Pokémon in the format. Teamwork is what makes the dream work, though, and you’ll want to include as many other Hop’s Pokémon as you can to take advantage of its Ability.

There are variations among Build & Battle Boxes, so you can add your own creative twist when building your deck. Whether you’re heading to a local game store or just playing with a friend, you’re in for some quick and fun battles with cards from the new Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together expansion! If you’re not able to make it to a Prerelease event, these Build & Battle Boxes will be available for purchase when the expansion officially launches.

Press Release - POKÉMON EXPANDS ENTERTAINMENT OFFERINGS WITH NEW WAYS TO PLAY IN THE POKÉMON LEGENDS: Z-A VIDEO GAME AND THE REVEAL OF POKÉMON CHAMPIONS

Pokémon Day Celebrates 29 Years of Global Fandom by Increasing Latin American Spanish Support for Upcoming Product Launches, Including the Pokémon Trading Card Game

Additional Franchise Updates Announced During Pokémon Presents Video Presentation, Including Mega Evolution Pokémon ex for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, New Triumphant Light Themed Booster Pack for Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, and More

Bellevue, Wash. — Feb. 27, 2025 — Today, The Pokémon Company group hosted a special Pokémon Presents video presentation, streamed online to fans around the world on Pokémon Day, the annual fan-focused holiday celebrating the launch of the original Pokémon video games on Feb. 27, 1996. Highlights include a new look at the Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game, the reveal of Pokémon Champions, a first look at the latest Pokémon TCG news, teasers for new episodes of Pokémon Concierge, and more.

“Pokémon continues to capture the imaginations of longtime fans and new, and Pokémon Day reveals for 2025 and beyond are our way of celebrating with them by continuing to deliver the joy of Pokémon to Trainers around the world,” said Kenji Okubo, president of The Pokémon Company International. “In addition to the reveal of Pokémon Champions and new introductions to the popular Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket app, we’re looking forward to a ‘Mega’ year as we prepare for the launch of the Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game featuring the mechanic, as well as the introduction of Mega Evolution Pokémon ex to the best-selling Pokémon TCG. To extend the global celebration, we’re especially looking forward to offering the Pokémon TCG in Latin American Spanish for the first time, as well as Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Champions. We wish a happy Pokémon Day to all!”

Highlights and details from the special Pokémon Day Pokémon Presents follow.

Pokémon Champions

Developed by The Pokémon Works in collaboration with GAME FREAK, the developer of the Pokémon video games, Pokémon Champions continues the tradition of Trainers pitting their skills against those of others from around the world, with the aim of allowing core game-style battles to be enjoyed by more players than ever before.[1]

Pokémon Champions will also be compatible with Pokémon HOME, the cloud service for Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, allowing Trainers to team up with Pokémon brought over from previous Pokémon games in addition to those they partner with in Pokémon Champions.[2]


Pokémon Champions will be available on the Nintendo Switch family of systems, as well as on mobile devices. For more details on Pokémon Champions, please stay tuned for future announcements.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A

Scheduled for release in late 2025, and first revealed on Pokémon Day 2024, the Pokémon Legends: Z-A game is set in Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is underway to shape the city into a place that belongs to both people and Pokémon. After arriving in Lumiose City, players will befriend a Pokémon that will become their first partner Pokémon: Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile.

Explore Wild Zones and Make Pokémon Your Allies

Players can catch wild Pokémon living in wild zones or out and about in Lumiose City by aiming a Poké Ball at them and letting it fly. Some Pokémon will flee immediately if they spot the player, meaning players should hide out of sight or approach from behind to make themselves harder to notice. Players can also battle Pokémon to lower their HP, making them easier to catch.

A Pokémon Series First: Trainers and Pokémon Taking Real-Time Actions During Battle

In previous Pokémon video game series titles, Pokémon’s actions were turn-based. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Trainers and their Pokémon will move around in real time during battles, and Pokémon will unleash their moves when their Trainers command them to. New gameplay mechanics include precise timing for swapping out Pokémon or using moves, the different lengths of time moves will take to launch, and the total area the moves will impact.

People and Pokémon You Can Encounter in Lumiose City

While visiting Lumiose City, players will stay in an old hotel named Hotel Z and encounter the hotel’s owner, AZ—plus his partner Pokémon, Eternal Flower Floette, an unusual Floette that holds a black flower. This hotel will serve as players’ base of operations as they experience all sorts of adventures in Lumiose City alongside new and exciting characters, such as Urbain or Taunie—a new friend players will make throughout their adventures. The appearance players choose at the beginning of the game will determine which of the two they’ll meet.

Mega Evolution

In Lumiose City, Trainers will sometimes be able to see Pokémon undergo Mega Evolution—a kind of Evolution that transcends standard Evolution. Effectively using Mega Evolution will likely be key to victory in Pokémon battles.

For more information, please visit the official Pokémon Legends: Z-A website.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Pokémon Champions, and Pokémon TCG Expand Playable Languages to Include Latin American Spanish

Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Pokémon Champions will be playable in Latin American Spanish at launch, marking a new milestone in localization for the region. With the addition of Latin American Spanish, the Pokémon series will soon support 10 playable languages. The globally popular Pokémon TCG will also soon expand language support to include Latin American Spanish with the launch of the next expansion, Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together, ensuring that millions of fans can enjoy Pokémon in their regional language and connect with the global Pokémon community like never before.

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Celebrates 100 Million Downloads with Reveal of New Triumphant Light Themed Booster Pack

A new themed booster pack for the popular Pokémon TCG Pocket app, titled Triumphant Light, will be playable around the world beginning Feb. 28, 2025. The announcement comes as the app celebrates over 100 million downloads on iOS and Android devices since its global launch late last year.


To celebrate Pokémon Day, from Feb. 27, 2025, at 6:00 a.m. PST to April 29, 2025, at 10:59 p.m. PDT, players can log in to receive special booster packs at no cost that are guaranteed to include at least one card of ♦♦♦♦ rarity or higher.

In addition, Ranked Matches will be coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket starting March 2025. Additional details will be shared at a later date.

Mega Evolution Series Coming to the Pokémon TCG in 2025

In 2025, fans can look forward to the new Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution Series of expansions, marking a new era for the globally popular trading card game with the return of Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, including Mega Lucario ex and Mega Gardevoir ex. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex have increased HP and attack damage compared to regular Pokémon ex, but they give up three Prize cards when Knocked Out.

More details on the Mega Evolution Series will be shared in the future. In the meantime, fans can find out more at Pokemon.com/TCG.

New Episodes of Pokémon Concierge Coming September 2025
