Triplet Beat [SV1a], the first Japanese subset of the Pokémon TCG’s ninth generation, served as a bridge between the first two dual sets of the generation; it set the stage for the subsequent releases of Snow Hazard [SV2P] and Clay Burst [SV2D].

In addition to the Art Rare (AR) Magikarp card which is the chase card of Triplet Beat [SV1a], the set introduced cards centered around the three Paldean starter final evolutions: Meowscarada, Skeledirge, and Quaquaval—the Pokémon featured on this card.
