Many players are excited to finally meet Terapagos in the Pokémon TCG through the recently announced Stellar Crown main expansion. That said, it can be easy to forget that Pokémon TCG players have another treat coming their way at the beginning of August. Pokémon Shrouded Fable is the next set to be released worldwide. Let’s take a look at what to expect.
Pokémon Shrouded Fable Details
Similar to the recent release of Paldean Fates, Shrouded Fable is not a full-sized Pokémon set. This is instead a smaller set based on the Japanese release Night Wanderer. This is simply releasing the contents of that set to the game’s Western audience.
In terms of theme - this set focuses on The Loyal Three from the first portion of the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC. These three have incredibly strong synergy, mechanically and thematically, with the Mythical Pokémon Pecharunt that appears in the second portion of the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC. That Pokémon is the central theme for Shrouded Fable and Night Wanderer.
Pokémon Shrouded Fable Release Date
Pokémon Shrouded Fable will be officially released worldwide on August 2. Preorders should already be available at various stores.
If you want to dive into Shrouded Fable a bit early, there are two opportunities to do so. Firstly, Pokémon Live players get access to Shrouded Fable a day early. Players can dive into Shrouded Fable as early as August 1st there.
Otherwise, there may be opportunities to play Pre-release events in the weeks preceding the release of Shrouded Fable. Be sure to contact your local game stores to see if there are any events happening near you.
Notably, this Pokémon TCG set will be legal in time for the 2024 World Championships.
