The Pokemon Company has revealed Scarlet & Violet’s next TCG expansions called Snow Hazard and Clay Burst. Here’s everything we know so far about these two upcoming sets.

The Pokemon TCG’s Scarlet & Violet expansions are in full swing following the full release of the Paldea Collection boxes earlier this year.

Following the Paldea Collection boxes’ release, The Pokemon Company has revealed subsequent Scarlet & Violet expansion sets for the TCG, including the Triple Beat subset.

Now, the next two Scarlet & Violet sets has been revealed in Japan. The Snow Hazard and Clay Burst expansion packs feature two of Paldea’s new Legendary Pokemon as ex cards, as well as some fan-favorite Generation 9 Pokemon included in the set.

Release Dates for Pokemon TCG Clay Burst & Snow Hazard

According to the Japanese product page, both expansions packs will be on sale in Japan on Friday, April 14, 2023. As the sets have yet to be officially revealed in English, it’s unclear when exactly these two sets will release overseas.

The Clay Burst pack and Snow Hazard have Chien-Pao, and Ting Lu, respectively.

It is possible that the Triple Beat subset will not receive a Western release day at the time of writing. Clay Burst and Snow Hazard may still receive Western dates. This article will be updated if an official Western release date is confirmed.

What can you expect from the Pokemon TCGs Snow Hazard expansions and Clay Burst expansions?

These two expansions have two main stars: the Chien-Pao ex cards and Ting-Lu ex card. Fans of Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will recognize these two as half of the new Legendary Quartet, which fans have dubbed the Dark Quartet.

The Clay Burst and Snow Hazard expansions include Chien-Pao, Ting Lu, and Chi-Yu cards.

Chi-Yu ex was also shown alongside the Legendaries, but no sign of Wo-Chien, the last member of the quartet. It’s unclear whether or not Wo-Chien will be included in this set, but it would certainly be strange if it was the only member to be excluded.

Squawkabilly ex is the last ex-card known to ex card enthusiasts. It features artwork of the Green Plumage Flying Type Pokemon.

Another notable cards include the full Frigibax line all the way up to Gen 9’s Psuedo-Legendary Baxcalibur. Snow Hazard and Clay Burst include cards featuring Tandemaus and Dudunsparce.

Fans can expect a few Trainer Cards in the form of Super Rod cards, Charm of Courage cards and Grusha/Iono Supporter card. To see a complete list of all revealed cards, trainers can go to the Japan official product page.
