The four cards are the basic Alolan Diglett, Stage One Alolan Dugtrio cards, the Ultra Rare Surfer trainer card and the Alolan Dugtrio Illustration Rare.
The Alolan Dugtrio Illustration Rare was created by Yukihiro Tada, a freelance artist who has contributed artwork to the Pokémon Trading Card Game previously.
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet – Surging Sparks will be released on November 8.
The set will feature over 250 cards, making it one of the largest sets ever. New Tera Pokemon will be included, as will further ACE SPEC cards, which have been a popular addition to the competitive side of the trading card game.

“With the power of a Stellar Tera Pokémon ex, it lights up the shoreline, revealing a parade of dragon Pokémon led by the towering Alolan Exeggutor ex! Archaludon ex and Latias ex round out the horde, while new ACE SPEC cards and more new Pokémon ex bring surprises of their own. Currents crackle and dragons roar in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks expansion!”
