Basic Product Information

Another Pokémon TCG set has now been confirmed for release. Heat Wave Arena is set to be launched in Japan on 14 March 2025.

About Heat Wave Arena [SV9a]

Heat Wave Arena will be headlined by a Cynthia’s Garchomp ex card. In addition, anyone who purchases a Heat Wave Arena booster box from 24 March to a date yet to be announced will also receive copies of the three winning cards within a special 3-card pack from the recently-concluded 2024 Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest.

The set’s release was announced on the same day as that of The Glory of Team Rocket, another Pokémon TCG slated for release next year. That set drops a little over a month after Heat Wave Arena.
