Temporal Forces: release, cards and collecting guide
Checked
Temporal Forces pairs Ancient and Future Pokémon with the return of ACE SPEC cards. Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are among the featured Pokémon, giving the release a clear past-and-future identity.
Release and checklist
Temporal Forces is an English Scarlet & Violet release dated 2024-03-22. The catalog records 162 cards in the printed base numbering and 218 numbered entries including cards beyond that numbering. These are catalog counts, not a checklist of every parallel finish or associated promo.
Notable pulls and chase targets
Try separating your targets by theme: Ancient artwork on one page and Future artwork on another. For exact-card collecting, the illustration versions of Iron Crown ex and Raging Bolt ex are different wants from their standard and other higher-rarity printings.
Two printings to explore: Iron Crown ex, 206/162, Special illustration rare, illustrated by nagimiso. Raging Bolt ex, 208/162, Special illustration rare, illustrated by Teeziro. These are editorial artwork picks, not a ranking by current price, a pull-rate estimate or a promise of future value.
Products and availability
Pokémon’s launch announcement lists booster packs, Elite Trainer Boxes and collections. Products and prerelease boxes should be checked individually for their guaranteed contents; sealed packaging does not guarantee one of the illustrated cards discussed here.
The dates above describe the release schedule, not live retailer stock. Product contents, availability and prices can change. Check the exact sealed product and its included promos before buying; the artwork on a box does not guarantee that card inside.
Build a collection around it
Open Holo Folder, browse Sets and search for Temporal Forces. Inspect the exact card, number, language and finish before adding it to your wants. Keep a set project in a named binder so it stays separate from your National Dex or trade cards.
At a show, use your wants to find the printing you meant to buy. Compare available price evidence, inspect condition and choose your own spending limit. Saved prices are last-known evidence when offline.
