Some of the most anticipated Trainer’s Pokémon in this set include:

  • N’s Zoroark ex
  • Lillie’s Clefairy ex

This expansion is part of Pokémon’s broader strategy to reach a wider audience and enhance inclusivity within the TCG community. By offering the game in Latin American Spanish, more players can now enjoy the full experience, from casual games to competitive tournaments. This move also paves the way for expanded local events and a stronger presence in Latin American Pokémon communities.
