Pokemon TCG Paradise Dragona: Release date, new cards, more

The hits just keep on coming with the Pokemon TCG release schedule. The next official Japanese Pokemon TCG expansion set has been announced, and it’s looking like a must-have for fans of Dragon-type Pokemon.

Announced via the official Japanese Pokemon TCG YouTube channel, the upcoming set Paradise Dragona was unveiled to the community along with a slew of new cards, with even more being shown off at Pokemon Worlds 2024.

Featuring a variety of punchy Stellar Tera-type cards alongside potentially game-changing ACE SPECs, this set is looking like a crucial release for competitive players to pay attention to.

Here’s everything we currently know about Pokemon TCG Paradise Dragona, including its release date, confirmed Pokemon, and its theme.

This expansion set is not out yet, so information is subject to change.

Pokemon TCG Paradise Dragona release date

Paradise Dragona will come out in Japan on September 13, coinciding with the release of the Stellar Crown expansion set.

Pokemon collectors outside of Japan who want to get their hands on this set will need to find a reliable import retailer. We’ve got a breakdown of how the invitation order system works in our Stellar Miracle import guide. It’s not confirmed if this system will be in place for Paradise Dragona, but it’s likely.

New cards and overall theme

Paradise Dragona will have a main card list of 64 cards. Currently, the exact amount of Secret Rares is unknown, but it’s looking like it’ll be a smaller expansion set.

Out of the cards that’ve been revealed, the highest card number that’s been spotted at the time of writing is the Alolan Exeggutor ex (089/064) Special Art Rare.

The stars of the show are the new Alolan Exeggutor and Flygon Stellar Tera-type cards, alongside Latias ex, Gouging Fire, and Dialga. Supporters have been unveiled for this expansion set too, as well as brand new ACE SPECs Rich Energy and Megaton Blower.

The aesthetic of Paradise Dragona is, unsurprisingly, themed around Dragon-type Pokemon. It’s tied heavily to the Year of the Dragon celebrations for 2024 and appears to have a bright, summery theme across the official set artwork.

While we don’t have any further information about Paradise Dragona right now, more cards will start to be revealed across official Pokemon channels as we get closer to the release date. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on the rarest and most valuable cards in the set.
