Collector Insight
As a fan of Paradox Pokémon, it’s exciting to see Simplified Chinese finally reach this chapter. Taking cues from Paradox Rift, the set connects directly to Paldea’s Area Zero storyline, where Pokémon from different timelines coexist, blending ancient beasts and futuristic machines into a unified theme.
For global collectors, the highlight is the Iron Hands Special Art Rare (SAR), exclusive to Simplified Chinese print. However, several other cards are also expected to attract attention — particularly Roaring Moon EX SAR, a stunning card with ties to the fan-favorite Salamence line and ongoing TCG relevance. With Roaring Moon’s competitive strength and visual appeal, it’s likely to become one of the key value drivers in this set.
Similarly, Iron Hands EX continues to hold meta significance in global formats, suggesting high demand among both collectors and local players. Another surprise addition is the Gold Pal Pad card, a fresh chase rarity for those seeking unique language-exclusive golds.
