Gameplay Evolution

Paldea Evolved hit PTCG on June 23, 2023, after prereleases from May 27-June 4. Meowscarada ex’s Flower Bomb (180 damage + Weakness boost) and Skeledirge ex’s 270 HP tanking shook the meta—Quaquaval ex’s Energy dance accelerates—shop CardChill to wield them! Tinkaton ex’s hammer smashes, while Tera Pikachu ex’s type flip surprises. Iono’s shuffle-and-draw disrupts foes—a game-changer.

With 279 cards, some filler—like Sprigatito (013/193)—pads it, but rares like Ting-Lu ex (127/193)’s Ground control burn bright. Pre-Worlds 2023, it evolved Tera decks—post-launch, it’s a Standard staple—check Card Chill Articles for builds! Its Japan-English sync (Japan: March 10 & April 14, 2023) fueled global hype, though the English delay built anticipation.
