The Pokemon Company has announced a new Pokemon TCG Scarlet & Violet expansion, and this time Shiny variants are on the menu. With Shiny hunting a popular sport both in the video games and the TCG, fans are likely eager to know when Paldean Fates will be released.
The Pokemon TCG Paldean Fates expansion continues a tradition that started with Hidden Fates during the Sun & Moon era, bringing Shiny versions of region favorites to the game. Like other special expansions, these booster backs can’t be found in Booster Boxes, and are often snatched up by fans as they hit shelves – making them a rare catch for Pokemon TCG players and collectors.
