Pokémon TCG Pocket: Paradox Drive arrives

Paradox Drive, the latest themed booster pack for Pokémon TCG Pocket, goes live today at 6:00 PM PDT. The pack draws from Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet's roster of Paradox Pokémon and introduces Ancient and Future as playable card subcategories in the game for the first time.

Ancient and Future cards debut with Koraidon and Miraidon

Koraidon ex and Miraidon ex lead the set as the headline four-diamond Legendary cards. Koraidon is the Ancient Paradox Legendary from Pokémon Scarlet, Miraidon is the future counterpart from Pokemon Violet. Both are expected to anchor new deck archetypes built around the subcategory bonuses.

Flutter Mane ex and Iron Bundle ex bring ex-level stats to each side of the mechanic. Flutter Mane is the Ancient Paradox version of Misdreavus; Iron Bundle is the Future variant of Delibird. Raging Bolt and Iron Boulder join as one-star illustration rares, with Iron Hands, Farigiraf, and Scream Tail filling out the one-diamond tier.

Professor Sada and Professor Turo are the Supporter cards that define the competitive identity of each archetype. Sada lets you attach three different energy cards from your discard pile to one of your ancient Pokémon, giving ancient decks a direct acceleration path that bypasses the standard one-energy-per-turn rule. Turo takes the opposite approach, shuffling one of your future Pokémon in play back into your deck as a protection and recycling tool that keeps high-value units out of the knockout zone.

Events running through June

The Paradox Drive Emblem Event opens in the final days of May and runs into early June, offering emblems, shinedust, and additional items through ranked battles. Community Week follows in early June with a trading focus: trade hourglasses and cosmetic accessories are the primary rewards. A Ceruledge ex Drop Event and a Wonder Pick event featuring Sableye and Floragato promos are both scheduled for mid-June. Paradox Drive is the B3a-themed booster pack in the Pokémon TCG Pocket's current series. The game is available on Android and iOS.
