Paradox Pokémon Arrive in the Pokémon TCG

💪 The past and future collide in the next era of the #PokemonTCG! 🦾 Here’s your sneak peek at some paradoxical mechanics as well as the return of some powerful Trainer cards…

[@austinhazlett2k17]

First the EX returns and now a callback from Unova with the ACE SPEC cards for more than 10 years absent. This should shake things up again.🎉

[@loremaster77]

ex, not EX

[@msvi09official]

i was wanting the ace spec cards to be back like i kinda miss computer search and masterball... maybe only computer search

[@austinhazlett2k17]

@@loremaster77 same rules except for the evolution cards that was a ex ruby and sapphire callback

[@loremaster77]

@@austinhazlett2k17 capitalization matters because ex and EX are not the same. saying EX are back is incorrect because they aren't.

*ex,its not that hard cmon

[@nebbynetwork2089]

The close up of scream tail is terrifying

[@ShinySonic77]

It is indeed

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

I didn't know its eyes did that.

[@eliscroggs5505]

And to think people think of it as a cute little goober

[@SeafoamTyranitar]

We love to see it.

[@cyanconure]

Imagine the Shiny one omg

[@Brambrew]

Frenzied Gouging and Calamity Storm are gonna go CRAZY on Roaring Moon. Frenzied Gouging is like Self Destruct but more effective AND survivable. And Calamity Storm is gonna be a MEAN punishment against any of your opponents' stadiums.

[@CARDSSerus]

200 damage for potentially 3 prize cards guaranteed is definitely worth it. He's gonna be nuts

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

@@CARDSSerusGonna be less nuts as VMAXes get rotated out in the future, unless they decide to add another 3-prize card type.

[@thejackthecrafter8]

imma mess up this one dude's path to the peak

[@DeoxysChao]

So excited for the Paradox Pokemon in the TCG!

[@paoladeluca1850]

I can't wait for November's set! The new Paradox cards are really hyping me up! Also, at 1:41, the illustration rares of Brute Bonnet and Iron Moth are gorgeous!

[@pokemonbattler2537]

Ace spec trainer cards are back from boundary’s crossed

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

Paradox mons are the UBs of SV era. When UBs ruled SM, it went great. It might done the same here

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

Considering that they’re split into “Ancient” and “Future” sub-classes, my first thought was that it would be similar to single/rapid strike cards. Maybe they’ll make past/future trainers and energies?

[@fabiaaquino2207]

​@@TwilightChomperEnthusiastOK WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE THIS IS THE PLACE I LEAST EXPECTED TO SEE YOU LOL.

[@MisterNiceGuy2001]

What a coincidence they're bringing back ACE SPEC cards, a card introduced in Black & White while there's large rumors of black and white remakes for next year

[@etp4899]

You right🤔🤔🤔

[@CARDSSerus]

1. This is way more epic than it has any right being, whoever edited this did a great job 2. Iron bundle and roaring moon are almost certainly going to be meta cards

[@Official_KnightlightStudio]

Bro that has to be one of the coolest TCG card revel. The animation was amazing!

[@LudicoloEnjoyer]

Roaring Moon just basically saying "you're KO'd" without really much else to it is, absolutely crazy LMAO. This is even excluding the fact that, there could be potentially items that lowers that damage OR increases its HP pool to maybe survive a hit. The worst part with that too is like, if your opponent has a poor bench set after getting Ko'd by Roaring moon, it's basically free to go for another KO ezpz. Very intimidating LOL

[@NotPennyTPG]

Protection Cube and Roaring Moon would probably be overpowered in Extended formats

[@Mike-sp7zv]

It's open to medicham V. Dark decks already hit psychic Gardy and mew for weakness so this could be in Darkrai decks for other matchups.

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

@@NotPennyTPGProtection Cube might be banned from expanded soon thanks to this card…

[@billquinton5565]

The energy cost is steep. And you're almost guaranteed to give up two prices afterwards. We're gonna see if decks can make space for it and if it's worth it.

[@Mike-sp7zv]

There's also cards to prevent effects of attacks. This concept is usually seen with yveltal cards

[@snakesmartyt4433]

ACE SPEC IS COMING BACK?!?!???

[@ThePyros11]

When the card game gets a better trailer for Paradox Pokémon than the actual video games

[@andruberriosbuzura7835]

The trailer is so well made with the music, soun effects, visuals and past and future aesthetics that it made me really hyped and I don't even play tcg 😂

[@StevoSuave]

Same! Don’t play but I wouldn’t mind collecting these 🔥

[@AcePlaysTCGs]

im super new to picking up the card game for anything other than buying the occasional pack or grabbing a pre constructed deck. Im so excited for Paradox pokemon especially Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant, and Ace Spec (almost sounds like my username) sounds cool. As always, Worlds is hype!

[@Mike-sp7zv]

Glad you're enjoying it. This set looks to be a healthy combination of chase cards and very competitive decks both standard and expanded formats.

[@betarunner4536]

Roaring Moon has a lot of potential for a free knock out and that scares me

[@AcePlaysTCGs]

especially if there's an ace spec card coming down the line that could mitigate the damage it takes for doing it.

[@betarunner4536]

@@AcePlaysTCGs my mind jumps to Scoop Ups and Switches

[@AcePlaysTCGs]

@betarunner4536 omg if they bring scoop up net back to standard for roaring moon, that's going to be wild lol. Switch makes sense and it's not tera so it could still get KO'd on the bench. It's not entirely busted but there could be workarounds. This is going to be fun. I might start playing PTCG Live a lot more now since most of my other friends play other card games.

[@imam5623]

Bro is suised squad

[@naturalharmoniagropius4486]

And Dark types has Dark Patch and Moltres, so it's easy to pay the atk

[@HibikiAoi07]

Even more proof that we're getting Unova games next year, bc Ace Spec cards were introduced in the Black and White Era of the TCG

[@Eevee007King]

Music cited for acespec

[@namegoeshere12]

Roaring Moon ex has my attention, and ACE SPECS coming back is HUGE. Potential reprints of Computer Search, Scoop Up Cyclone, and Dowsing Machine? some of the best ACE SPECS? I'm down for it

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

I’m hoping Master Ball comes back. Extremely useful, yet not overpowered.

[@TrustYourPilotTCG]

Paradox Rift will launch on November 2nd in PTCGL, for those wondering.

[@travishindman9362]

This music goes so hard!!!

[@nedrostram2360]

Based ace spectrum Pokémon cards

[@emberpowertcg7692]

Can't wait to build decks with these!

[@Aviatorairforceguy]

I love the looks of these cards! I’m to hyped JUST MAKE IT NOVEMBER ALREADY

[@audinothesweetswarlock4229]

Holy carp Ace Specs are coming back?? Yo that's hype! I haven't seen those cards since the Black/White TCG era and even so, some of them are specifically for cards like Team Plasma's Genesect-EX. It'll be fair to assume I'll like the new ones, but it'll be great to see the old ones come back too!

[@elasurademexico]

Ace spec coming back I remember black and white and ace spec and team plasma cards were my favorite cards to pull

[@curtisashby768]

So excited for the Paradox Pokémon are coming to the TCG even though we got Great Tusk and Iron Treads in the first Scarlet & Violet expansion! I'm also excited for ACE SPEC cards to return ever since the Black & White series!

[@Joel1007GamerCultLeader]

Some trainers believe it's because only Tusk and Treads can be found outside of area Zero.

[@blastchaos4286]

@@Joel1007GamerCultLeader That was my thought as well when SV released

Great tusk and iron treads being in the scarlet violet base set : 😶

Bro I have been waiting so fluffin long for paradox cards the new ex are definitely coming into rogue decks soon enough.

[@x2FloorsUpx]

Can’t wait to get these!!

[@mateuszmroczkiewicz8789]

I waited for so long and now they are here.

[@vupham2946]

I cannot wait for that Iron Valiant EX card. Iron Valiant is one of my favorite Paradox forms!

[@NinjaGamerGirl2023]

Awesome looking cards! Like how the Paradox Pokemon cards have Pokemon from both past and future. Next year's cards sound promising by the cool teaser card at the end.

[@Poke_Sage]

This set will be better than obsidian flames! If any of you didn’t know the set name will be called paradox rift (I heard from many people)

[@stylevstar253]

Obsidian Flames is far and away the weakest scarlet violet set so far. So not a massive feat.

[@Mike-sp7zv]

​​@@stylevstar253obsidian flames Charizard with a potential acespec scramble switch reprint and this upcoming volcarona and options like Thorton or penny could really make fire decks pop off.

[@Poke_Sage]

@@stylevstar253 I think the weakest is scarlet and violet base. The miriam is only 40 dollars so just buy it as a single

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

Fun fact: Obsidian Flames was the third third set in a row to feature Charizard. (Burning Shadows in SM, Darkness Ablaze in SWSH, and now our most recent set as of now.)

[@Poke_Sage]

@@TwilightChomperEnthusiast yes I know, I was fonna make a video about it when I forgot aboutit 😂😂😂

Looking forward to the unique artworks! Great job on obsidian flames! It's decent so far!

The hype is so real omg. I didnt see a lot of TCG Trailer, but this is the best of them all!

[@lautaro.O.L.]

the ex cards gave me Roaring Sykes artstyle vibes

These look good.... roaring moon I definitely love to have in my collection

[@senoirdragon9475]

So excited!

[@neilbryllemalunes3837]

The music is INSANE!! WOW! specially the part on Iron Bundle! And that close up scene on Iron moth lookin so FRICKIN AWESOME WTF!! ❤❤❤ I don't play TCG whatsoever but this makes me want to buy it just to look at ❤ kudos to the producers!

[@necrozma4029]

Still in disbelief that Ace Spec's coming back

[@esfwr17]

Im kind of surprised they havent considered doing puzzle cards on the back of the code card. It would make those cards be more collectible and useful for pcg collectors. Could make them 4x4 or even larger, a large puzzle would look pretty sick framed.

[@Kaiohate]

Director: how epic do you want this trailer to be? Nintendo: *y e s*

[@dannyhodson2525]

I need that full art iron moth, so pretty

[@savagesal3381]

If this is the next set it's going to be amazing!!!!

These trailers have always been amazing😁

[@g.Nick339]

Animation looks beautiful, definitely the most hype mons this decade for me.

[@hoenngengar]

the ace spec post credit scene is wild

[@Illumisepoolist]

I'm Imagining Slither Wing and Iron Hands along with them.

[@yaycoffe123]

How I pictured the announcement of paradox beasts to be revealed

[@Oreanaa4341]

Iron treads is a paradox Pokémon but it just didn’t say it was also great tusk

[@bluekirby_64]

1:06 So Iron Moth can launch its legs out as rockets or something like that?

[@Hip-Gnosis1134]

Loving the brute bonnet art

[@lombax2505]

That was just epic

[@TrainerGold99]

SUPER EXCITED MAN, I NEED THAT ROARING MOON! 🌙

[@Arcenedon]

They COOKED! Obsidian flames JUST came out and I can’t wait for paradox rift

[@fawfulmark2]

Once upon a time, there was an Item Card from the Diamond/Pearl days that had an effect that was used on your Opponent's turn...I wonder if a new card with that concept can appear as an ACE SPEC?

[@justinkassel4281]

Definitely see iron buddle being used in Escine ex

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

so cool! they're here! and they're back!

[@LuigiTheMetal64]

The anime art style is the best, especially in the games and cards. No denying that.

[@teokahwoon1580]

That was INSANELY COOL!

Embossed surface for the temporal designations? 😯

[@sakumon16]

Absolutely awesome

Looks sick!!

This really captures the gen 3 ex art

[@-Be-Legendary-]

these look soo cool I cant wait

[@Lil_Noot]

Yooooo Ace Specs are coming back?! I loved those cards back in BW!

[@Joshua05005]

This set got leaked. It’s called Scarlet and Violet: Paradox Rift and it’s arriving in early November

[@yugiboy815]

Iron Valiant EX gonna be nasty in Gardevoir EX Cannot wait

[@1terastal1]

oh wow really wanna pull one!

[@ThePokeBeast777Official]

Future theory: First, EX comes back, Second, ACE SPEC is back! So what's next? I can only imagine something like them bringing GX and tag teams back, but that is more newer compared to ex cards. Later on in Scarlet and violet we might be seeing gx again maybe, Because Sword and Shield has v's and Vmax, then later on introduced Vstar... But ACE SPEC could be that new introduced thing or maybe GX cards too... Just a theory!

[@DeloofTegOrb]

My birthday is in November. So hyped!!! Gonna buy myself my first ever booster box for my b day of is set lol

[@ajapplesauce]

What do we think of all these Pokémon lately who can't attack on following turns and needing to be Active in order to get their effects off? It seems like they're trying to slow down the game from where it was a few years back, but it's still exciting!

[@mi_jacks]

OMG! new pool. Let's go 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@OfficialRyanx]

Brute Bonnet is terrifying 😢

[@LunatoneStudio]

But what about the Great Tusk and Iron Threads that were released in SV Base Set. They didn't have the design. What?
