Pokemon TCG To Add Terastallized Pokemon From Scarlet and Violet

gamerant.com:

Pokemon TCG players will get their first chance to use Terastallized Pokemon in the upcoming expansion. The Scarlet and Violet: Paldea Evolved edition of Pokemon TCG will bring three Tera Pokemon cards with monsters taken directly from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Tera raids are a vital part of the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet titles. They are seasonal challenges that appear every other week and allow up to four trainers to fight against very powerful Pokemon and capture them after they are defeated in their crystalized Tera form. Now, this new form of Pokemon will transcend to other games.

The Tera Pokemon will be a part of Pokemon TCG in its next expansion Scarlet and Violet: Paldea Evolved. Initially spotted by Dicebreaker, the new update will bring Terastallized version of Slowking, Forretress, and Dedenne, which will have unique artwork with crystalized features, just like in the games. The new set will bring a total of 15 new EX Pokemon cards, as well as 18 ultra-rare Pokemon EX cards. Anxious players won’t need to wait too long for it, as the edition will be released on June 9, being available via boosters and special collections.

The inclusion of Terastallized Pokemon will change how the game works. One of the main features of these new cards is that they will be able to change their type when commanded to do extra damage to creatures matching their Tera type. Also, they can get shielded from damage when they are benched, unlike normal Pokemon, which would be in a vulnerable position by making this move. These Pokemon will also get more hit points than their normal counterparts, which makes them far more resilient. What offsets all of these
