Pokémon TCG announces major rotation set for April 2025

The Pokémon Trading Card Game will undergo a significant rotation in April 2025, changing the competitive landscape. The new format will retire cards marked with "F," allowing newer sets to dominate the meta. The rotation will take effect on April 11 for local and regional events, with an earlier start on March 27 for Pokémon TCG Live. This change means some newer cards may not be legal, while older cards without regulation marks can still be used. As top decks like Charizard ex and Klawf lose key cards, new strategies are expected to emerge. The first regional event on March 7-9 will provide insight into the new competitive environment.
