Paradigm Trigger comes out on October 21, after the release of another Japanese-exclusive expansion set, Incandescent Arcana. Both expansion sets include Pokémon from various generations while also bringing an end to the Gen 8 era of the Pokémon TCG. In addition to Paradigm Trigger, the best Incandescent Arcana cards will hit Silver Tempest, the international Pokémon TCG set which will bid adieu to the Sword and Shield era. Silver Tempest will be released November 11, just days before the Gen 9 games, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, are released for the Nintendo Switch.

The first product, Mystery Box, will be released on October 21, 2022, at a cost of 2750 yen (tax included). It will be released on the same day as the Paradigm Trigger set.

The Pokémon TCGis now releasing information about the final few sets coming to Japan, which will later be adapted to English. So far, we know that the Hisuian Zoroark-themed Dark Phantasma will be adapted along with the Origin Forme Giratina-themed Lost Abyss to make the English-language Sword & Shield – Lost Origin. That leaves us with two more Japanese sets and one more English set. Japan's Alolan Vulpix-themed Incandescent Arcana and the (until now) mysterious Paradigm Trigger set will combine to make that final as-of-yet untitled Sword & Shield set. So what will Paradigm Trigger feature? Logo. Credit: Pokémon TCG Releasing on October 1st in Japan, it has been confirmed that Paradigm Trigger will focus on Lugia, Regidrago, and Regieleki. It is likely that Lugia will get a VSTAR as it is thought to be the mascot of the set. This is also likely the set where Regidrago and Regieleki, who have previously only gotten their own holo cards, will finally be featured on Pokémon-V.
