Over time, players begin getting tired of the same format. It becomes repetitive, as you continue to experience the same thing over and over again. With months of having the same experiences, many players get bored and look to new horizons. Over the next month, we still have multiple Scarlet and Violet expansion tournaments that will continue to shape the metagame as we know it. However, there is a storm brewing on the horizon that is expected to completely shake up the metagame.
What’s up, everyone! SmartTCG here, and today I am stoked to go over Paldea Evolved, and the best cards in the brand new set. Paldea Evolved is going to be one of the most impactful sets in a long time, and I am excited to take a dive into some of the new set’s best cards. This set is expected to release in the second week of June, and will be legal for the upcoming North American International Championships. This upcoming event is expected to be the biggest Pokémon TCG event in the Western world’s history, eclipsing every Pokemon TCG event to date. There is expected to be over 2,000 players playing the TCG, who will be dueling it out for the chance of becoming the North American International Champion! Paldea Evolved will definitely make its mark on this event.
Let’s take a dive into my current top five cards to look out for. I most recently uploaded a video on YouTube going over my early impressions of the new cards, but some of my opinions have changed, and this is where I will be filling you in on my up-to-date and most in-depth analysis of the best cards in the set.
