The Pokémon Company has today revealed that the latest Pokémon Trading Card expansion, Darkness Ablaze, will be launching on 14th August.
Darkness Ablaze continues the current line of Pokémon Sword and Shield sets, introducing highly collectable cards including Charizard VMAX - you just can't beat a card with Charizard on it, even after all these years.
You'll also discover more Pokémon from the Galar region as Pokémon VMAX, such as Centiskorch VMAX and Grimmsnarl VMAX in their Gigantamax forms, and the Legendary Pokémon Eternatus VMAX in its unique Eternamax form.
The full expansion will include the following:
- Seven Pokémon VMAX
- 14 powerful Pokémon V—plus nine full-art Pokémon V
- 17 Trainer cards and four full-art Supporter cards
- Three new Special Energy cards
Will you be adding these to your collection? Tell us below.

I like that you guys are covering more TCG stuff but couldn't you guys include a few scans of the cards?
@Heavyarms55 No scans of the cards themselves have been released yet - just images of the booster packs and boxes 🙂
@ryancraddock That's fair enough then.
The last part about what is in the full expansion is incorrect. The author outlined what's in the current set (Rebel Clash) when describing what's in the next set.
@MythicWarfare Eek, apologies! That's been fixed!
im just a bit bummed that the games were rushed... im not going to get all ragey im just dissapointed )
As long as the cards themselves have unique artwork and isn't just a cutout of the in-game models...
@Heavyarms55 @ryancraddock Japanese scans are already widely available:

What are the dice for? I haven't paid attention to the tcg in a while but I've never seen dice besides a 1-6
Fairy type was retired for Sword and Shield. Odd they show this energy type...
I hope Game Freak can fixes the item icon mistake with Fossilized Fish & Fossilized Drake because the required "Pokémon" used to get it reminded of it.
Charizard has a cuddly belly 😍
Ooooo, energy cards!
@Fryeguy67 They still include fairy energy in these boxes since there are still fairy pokemon legal in the standard format and will be for the next year. Probably this time next year they'll stop including the energy when the last few fairies rotate out.
Running Fairy right now is a super bad idea anyways because Steel is crazy strong now
It's strange a Sword & Shield Fairy-Type energy.
