Pokemon TCG
The TCG will also be taking part in this Legendary event! They will have Legendary-themed product tie-ins in 2018. This will include a new collection, Pokémon GX cards and more!
It is interesting to note that the next Pokemon TCG, Ultra Prism, will be released in February. This set will will include plenty of Pokemon from the Sinnoh Region such as Dialga and Palkia. Ultra Prism will contain Dialga GX and Palkia GX which will be distributed in February.
The set following Ultra Prism will be May’s set which is called Forbidden Light. This set is speculated to be based on Kalos and could feature Xerneas and Yveltal. Both of these Pokemon will be distributed in May which will be the same month as Forbidden Light’s release.
It is too soon the speculate about August’s TCG set but it looks as if the Legendary distributions are syncing with the TCG release schedule. Expect to see more TCG products as we go through this Legendary 2018!
Pokemon GO
Trainers in Pokemon GO can expect some big tie-ins as well. Details will be release soon!
