New English Set Temporal Forces Officially Revealed! ACE SPEC returns!

Continue your journey to Area Zero and meet various new Pokemon including Walking Wake, Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder, and much more! Pokemon officially revealed the upcoming set Temporal Forces which will be released on March 22, 2024, with over 160 cards featuring Ancient cards from the past such as Walking Wake ex and Gouging Fire ex and Future cards from the future such as Iron Leaves ex and Iron Boulder ex. You will also get the chance to see the reprint of ACE SPEC cards! A one-off card which has a very powerful effect that can change the tide of your game!

As stated by Pokemon, first introduced in the Black & White Series, ACE SPEC cards will return to the Pokémon TCG in Scarlet & Violet—Temporal Forces, as initially announced during the 2023 Pokémon World Championships. ACE SPEC cards have powerful effects, but each deck will be limited to only one ACE SPEC card. Furthermore, ACE SPEC cards in Scarlet & Violet—Temporal Forces will feature a new eye-catching magenta design and can appear as Trainer or Special Energy cards.

 

Here are the details and description for this set:

What do you guys think of this card? This is a big thing if you guys want to play a stall deck or want to have a survival card in your deck. This card is also searchable using Arven, so it can be great to have in some decks that use Arven.


Drum of Awakening

Draw a card for each of your Ancient Pokémon in play.


Reboot Bot

Item/ACE SPEC

For each of your Future Pokémon in play, choose 1 Basic Energy from your discard pile and attach it to that Pokémon.

Neo Superior Energy

Special Energy/ACE SPEC

What do you guys think of this set? I think with the reprint of ACE SPEC cards, we are going to see some surprises in the format. We may see some decks getting a comeback by incorporating an ACE SPEC card or maybe a new BDIF will appear with the new Pokemon in this format.
