TCG Release Calendar – Pokémon & One Piece Sets

The Pokémon Company typically releases 4 main English expansion sets per year, usually in January, March, June, and November. Between these major releases, special sets, promotional products, and collection boxes are released to fill the gaps.

Japanese Pokémon TCG sets release earlier than their English counterparts, often by 3-6 months. Multiple Japanese sets are frequently combined into a single English release, which is why English sets tend to have more cards.

Special products like Elite Trainer Boxes, Ultra Premium Collections, and themed bundles typically release alongside or shortly after their corresponding booster set launch.
