The Pokémon TCG community is buzzing with anticipation for the Scarlet & Violet—Legends: Z-A set, slated for August 2025, per PokéBeach’s May 2025 FAQ. Following the blockbuster Destined Rivals release, this set promises to tie into the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A video game, focusing on Kalos and Mega Evolutions, per IGN’s June 2, 2025, preview. Early leaks hint at over 200 cards, including Mega Zygarde ex and new Kalos Starters, driving hype for collectors chasing pokemon cards.
What We Know So Far
While details are scarce, PokéGuardian’s March 24, 2025, report suggests Legends: Z-A will introduce Mega Evolution mechanics, potentially shaking up the meta dominated by Cynthia’s Garchomp ex (15% share), per CardChill’s June 2025 tests. X user @PokeLeaks speculated about “holo-heavy” Illustration Rares, though unverified. The set is expected to include Elite Trainer Boxes ($49.99 MSRP) and Booster Boxes ($161.64), per Pokémon.com’s 2025 schedule. Scalping concerns loom, with @PokemonRestocks warning of pre-order sellouts, mirroring Destined Rivals’s $180-$220 boxes (eBay, June 2025).
Community Excitement
Reddit’s r/PokemonTCG (June 6, 2025) is abuzz, with fans craving Mega Charizard ex revivals. @PokeBeach on X called it “Kalos’s big comeback,” fueling nostalgia. The Pokémon Company’s improved print runs, per Pokémon.com’s March 27, 2025, update, may ease shortages. Get ready for Legends: Z-A with pokemon cards at CardChill’s Trading Cards page!
