ThePokemon TCGis back with another set and one that promises to bring with it a ton of cool things for you to enjoy. Expanding on the Ancient and Future mechanics introduced in Paradox Rift, Temporal Forces has tons of great cards for collectors and tournament grinders alike.
Another major mechanic is returning in Temporal Forces, one that hasn’t been seen in more than a decade, the ACE SPEC cards. Previously these cards were only Pokemon Tools, but they are getting a new twist with their return, appearing also as Special Energies. If these cards are whipping your Pokemon fever into a frenzy, we haveeverything you need to get started on your journey.

Scarlet & Violet: Temporal Forces Packs
Scarlet and Violet Temporal Forces Booster Box
ACE SPEC cards and Ancient and Future Pokemon return with Scarlet & Violet: Temporal Forces, the latest set in the Pokemon Trading Card Game. If you’re looking for a way to open up tons of packs or for an entertaining time streaming some pack openings with your friends and followers, the Booster Box lets you open tons of cards all at once.
The best way to hunt down special cards with fancy foiling and to make the biggest dent in your collecting progress is with a Booster Box of Temporal Forces. Each box comes with 36 packs, with each of those packs containing eleven cards, ten random cards from across Pokemon, Items, and Energies, and then one Basic Energy.

The contents of each pack are randomized, but you’re going to be opening four commons, three uncommons, and three foil cards, with at least one of those foil cards being a rare card or higher. Each pack also comes with a unique card with a code you can redeem on digital platforms.
