Not long after the releases of the Wild Force [SV5K] and Cyber Judge [SV5M] expansion sets, the next Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) sets to be out are already just around the corner. The Crimson Haze [SV5a] expansion set will be arriving in Japan on 22 March 2024.

The Crimson Haze [SV5a] expansion will likely be centered around Pokémon introduced in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet video games’ Teal Mask DLC. These include Dipplin, Poltchageist, Sinistcha, the Bloodmoon form of Ursaluna, and a quartet of Legendary Pokémon: Ogerpon, Okidogi, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti.

Here are some standout cards which have already been revealed:

Special Art Rare (SAR): Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, Lana’s Assistance, Sinistcha ex, Perrin

Art Rare (AR): Pinsir, Infernape, Phione, Applin, Cramorant, Perrin, Poltchageist, Heliolisk, Hisuian Growlithe, Torkoal, Probopass

Secret Rare (SR): Lana’s Assistance

Double Rare (RR): Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex, Scream Tail ex, Iron Thorns ex, Magcargo ex

Those outside Japan can expect many of the Crimson Haze [SV5a] cards to arrive as part of the Temporal Forces expansion. The Temporal Forces expansion launches internationally on the same date as that of the launch of Crimson Haze in Japan. Temporal Forces will contain many of the cards found in Wild Force [SV5K] and Cyber Judge [SV5M].

If the pre-release of Crimson Haze [SV5a] will be conducted in the same way as that of Wild Force [SV5K] and Cyber Judge [SV5M], the full list of secret rares can be expected to be revealed within a month of the expansion of the set’s official release.
