The Pokémon GO expansion for the hugely popular Pokémon Trading Card Game is out this July, and we've listed all of the sets that you'll be able to pick up when the new cards drop. But yesterday, The Pokémon Company gave us a little look at some of the upcoming cards themselves and, as is to be expected with Pokémon cards, they look decidedly lovely.
The are on these cards puts many different Pokémon in real-life settings, as if you were finding them while playing Pokémon GO. Though we'd be pretty terrified if a life-sized Gyarados was rampaging through our streets with that much water in real life — that could cause a flood!
You'll be able to pick up all of the new sets this summer, and you can visit the official Pokémon website to see what each set comes with. We've gathered the links to each set below for you, along with when they'll be released, so you don't need to go hunting around:
- Pokémon GO Elite Trainer Box - 1st July
- Pokémon GO V Battle Decks starring Mewtwo and Melmetal - 1st July
- Pokémon GO Special Collection -Team Valor / Team Instinct / Team Mystic - 1st July

- Pokémon GO Premium Collection - Radiant Eevee - 1st July
- Pokémon GO Tin - 15th July
- Pokémon GO Mini Tin - 5th August

And here's a proper look at some of the cards you'll be getting with these expansions. We hope you enjoy perusing over them, as they're gorgeous:
Will you be picking up any of these Pokémon GO card sets? Why not let us know.

Okay those are pretty cool. I like Radiant Eevee.
So are these usable with the game or is it just a new way of playing the game like if am a Newbiee would I be good going with these?
There's quite a lot of nice in-jokes here, like Blissey being a very popular gym defender, the original reveal trailer showing people participating in a large scale raid against Mewtwo in a city, an abundance of Magikarp during a community day, etc.
@Outerdragon They're usable in the game.
These look great! Haven’t bought cards in a while but these got me
This set has not reason to be as good as it is. I've been checking these out on websites like Pokebeach/guardian and holy lord do these look incredible. Full arts of the leaders of Mystic, Valor and Instinct, more Radiant Pokemon, Pokemon whose art depicts them in a PoGo setting and even MEWTWO VSTAR HELL YES. And there's been confirmation of even more not shown yet, like Dragonite VSTAR (my boy is finally getting recognition) and Radiant versions of the final stages of the Kanto starters! HOW IS THIS A TIE-IN SET FOR BLOODY POKEMON GO.
@Bret sweet can I ask how they are used?
Full art blanche is my favorite
@Outerdragon Same as any other card in the game. This is just another of dozens and dozens of expansions.
That Snorlax is cute, I want that card
Are there any Shuckle cards planned? ^^;
Good looking set and I think what’s shown would fit in with tons of decks.
I figured these would just be a cheap tie-in, but I'm happy to be wrong in this case. NGL, some of that card art is excellent eye candy.
These look SUPER good especially the Snorlax one... I could look at that for days!
Surprsied it took 6 years before this happened, but these are sick.
Hey Nintendo this is a good chance to remind you can you just make a pokemon tcg for the switch?
