Pokémon TCG Sees Trainer's Pokémon Return in 2025

As part of a series of announcements today, Pokémon has revealed that some cherished features from the early days of the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) will return in 2025.

Trainer's Pokémon and Team Rocket Cards Teased for TCGNo Confirmed Official Date Yet

Trainers and fans can anticipate the return of "Trainer’s Pokémon," in Pokémon TCG, as announced today by the company during the 2024 Pokémon World Championships. This announcement came with a teaser trailer, which showed trainers like Marnie, Lillie, and N, and also hinted at the potential return of Team Rocket-themed cards.

The Trainer’s Pokémon cards were considered a mainstay in the early days of Pokémon TCG. These cards typically depict Pokémon owned by specific trainers or characters. These cards often featured unique abilities and showcased special artwork distinct from regular cards. The Trainer’s Pokémon cards that were shown today include Lillie’s Clefairy ex, Marnie’s Grimmsnarl ex, N’s Zoroark ex, and N’s Reshiram.

The preview also briefly alluded to Team Rocket, showcasing Mewtwo alongside the iconic duo's team logo. This has prompted speculation that a Team Rocket-themed card collection or even the return of Dark Pokémon—another beloved game mechanic from the early days—could be reappearing in 2025. Dark Pokémon were affiliated with Team Rocket and presented more aggressive and "edgier" variants of familiar Pokémon.

Speculation has been rife about these Team Rocket cards joining the Pokémon TCG. Earlier reports have suggested a retailer listing in Japan and a trademark application by The Pokémon Company, titled The Glory of Team Rocket. While nothing has been officially verified, we might also see their inclusion in the game shortly.
