Mechanics
Ancient & Future Paradox Pokemon:
Ancient and Future Paradox Pokémon, is a new mechanic that brings together Pokémon from different timeframes. These Paradox Pokémon have distinct appearances, movesets, and types compared to their regular counterparts. The Ancient versions hail from the past, while the Future versions represent the future.
Paradox Pokémon can be enhanced by other cards in the TCG through specific Trainers, abilities, and attacks. However, it remains unclear how these enhancements will manifest in-game. Three Ancient and three Future Paradox Pokémon have been revealed: Scream Tail (Ancient Jigglypuff), Brute Bonnet (Ancient Amoonguss), Roaring Moon ex (Ancient Mega Salamence), Iron Bundle (Future Delibird), Iron Moth (Future Volcarona), and Iron Valiant ex (Future Gardevoir and Gallade). More Ancient and Future Pokémon are expected to be revealed upon the full release of the Paradox Rift set.
