According to recent trademark filings, The Pokémon Company registered the name "Storm Emerald" with the Japanese Patent Office on June 21, 2025 , for the trading card game (TCG) . The registration was filed under the usual category for TCG-related publications (Class 28), which strongly suggests that it is the name of an upcoming set . Thus, Storm Emerald, a new set released this winter, could conclude the huge Pokémon TCG hype in 2025.
💡 What could “Storm Emerald” mean?
The name strongly evokes the Generation 3 era—specifically, Pokémon Emerald and the legendary trio of Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza . The combination of "Storm" and "Emerald" suggests that Rayquaza , and possibly a return to classic Hoenn elements, could be the focus.
📆 There's no official release date yet, but set brand names are usually secured several months before release. So, a release in fall or winter 2025 would be quite realistic.
🎴 For collectors and players, this means: Keep your eyes open – “Storm Emerald” could be an epic set with many nostalgic cards and popular Pokémon!
