Pokémon TCG Japan is gearing up for the release of the highly anticipated Raging Surf expansion. This new set, which is part of the Scarlet & Violet era, will feature a Tera Garchomp theme and is set to hit shelves on September 22. With 62 cards, excluding Secret Rare cards, Raging Surf continues a trend started in the previous Japanese set, Ruler of the Black Flame, by introducing Tera Pokémon with a unique Tera typing. One such Tera Pokémon in this set is Tera Garchomp ex, which will be a Water-type, fitting the theme of the expansion.
It has been confirmed that Raging Surf will form part of the Scarlet & Violet – Paradox Rift expansion, set to be released in August 2023 for the English-language Pokémon TCG. There are also rumors that the cards from the Japanese ex Starter Sets featuring Tera Mewtwo ex and Tera Skeledirge ex will also be included in this English set. However, no official confirmation has been provided yet.
In anticipation of the Raging Surf expansion, Pokémon TCG Japan has revealed some of the Psychic-type cards that will be included in the Tera Mewtwo ex Starter Set. These cards feature Exeggcute, Exeggutor, Natu, and Deoxys, each depicted in unique and visually stunning ways by various artists.
As with previous Japanese sets, the release of Raging Surf provides a glimpse into what the English-language sets may include. Pokémon TCG enthusiasts are encouraged to stay tuned for more previews of Scarlet & Violet cards and updates on the latest developments in the Pokémon TCG world.
