10 Most Highly Anticipated Pokémon TCG Releases For 2021

Hidden Fates is easily the biggest Pokémon TCG set of the last three years. Hidden Fates brought back 'shiny' Pokémon, no we're not talking shiny as in shiny cards, we mean 'shiny' as in the 'shiny' forms you spend 16 hours hunting for in the video-game.

Shiny Pokémon had not been seen since the Shining Legends set back in 2017 and look very distinct from other cards. For collectors of specific Pokémon its the ultimate way to collect their favorite 'mons' and the GX versions also come in full art shiny forms, a select few also come in the rainbow rarity and sell for major dollar.

The draw to the set is the rainbow rare Charizard EX, the card sells for £450+ raw (non-graded) and around £1500 at PSA 10 but just in general the overall presentation of the set is nothing but perfection with fan favorite Pokémon and even an appearance by Jessie and James and Team Rocket boss, Giovanni.

Hidden Fates has been out of stock for over a year now but a re-print of the Elite Trainer Box was slated for late January. If you see this product, do yourself a favor and pick it up, it comes with a promo card that features all of the legendary birds, Zapdos, Moltres and Articuno in a beautiful stain-glass effect. Due to the pandemic worldwide delays have hit but you should be able to find it in your local games store or Walmart now. For Pokémaniacs in the UK it should be out mid February.
