Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks

Pikachu Returns the Thunder in Surging Sparks

In November 2024, Scarlet & Violet—Surging Sparks electrified the meta with a focus on Lightning-type Pokémon. The set was headlined by "Pikachu ex," appearing as a Stellar Tera type with a gorgeous, sparkling illustration. This Pikachu wasn't just for show; its "Topaz Bolt" attack dealt incredible damage, making it a competitive powerhouse. The set also introduced "Latias ex" and "Alolan Exeggutor ex," expanding the roster of Stellar Tera Pokémon.

ACE SPEC Power Creep

The power level continued to rise with new ACE SPEC cards like "Megaton Blower," which could discard your opponent's stadiums and tools. Collectors were thrilled by the "Lisia's Appeal" Special Illustration Rare and the stunning "Hydreigon ex." With its vibrant tropical theme and powerful electrical attacks, Surging Sparks provided a high-energy conclusion to the year's releases.
