The name and release date of another upcoming Pokémon TCG expansion set have now been confirmed. Paradise Dragona will be released in Japan on 13 September 2024.

In April 2024, it was found that Pokémon Japan had filed a trademark for the name “Paradise Dragona”. The terms of this trademark were the same as those used for previous set names; thus, it was always likely that the set would indeed bear that name.

As is implied by its name, the set will almost certainly primarily feature Dragon-type Pokémon. While unconfirmed, it’s widely anticipated that two of the featured Pokémon of this set will be Hydrapple and Archaludon. Hydrapple, a Grass/Dragon-type, and Archaludon, a Steel/Dragon-type, were both introduced to the Pokémon franchise as part of the Indigo Disk DLC of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet video games.

No details about an international release have yet been finalized.

One booster box of cards from Paradise Dragona will sell for 5,400 JPY (~US$35).
