Pokémon Trading Card Game fans have a lot to look forward to with the upcoming release of the Chaos Rising set! To help pass the time while we wait, we’re thrilled to give you a first look at two cards from the new collection.
Pokémon is poised for a major year, celebrating its 30th anniversary with a wave of new releases. We’ve already seen Pokopia, and Pokémon Winds and Waves is on the horizon.
Pokémon hasn’t just stayed in the game world – it’s partnered with real-world brands like the National Trust and Ikea. And who could forget the Pokémon-themed cereal from Kellogg’s that everyone seemed to be enjoying?

However, many fans are most excited about the Trading Card Game. We’re thrilled to share a sneak peek at two cards from the new Chaos Rising set, and here’s the first one!
Minccino is a simple Pokémon, starting with 70 HP and knowing just one attack: Take Down. This move deals 30 damage to the opponent, but also causes 10 damage to Minccino itself.
Minccino probably won’t be a star player by itself, but it’s likely to appear in competitive Pokémon decks because of its powerful evolution – we’ll talk about that shortly.
Also, the Minccino artwork by Ryoma Uratsuka is absolutely adorable – just look at those ears and the background! It’s fantastic. Now, let’s move on to the second card we’re excited to share with you today.
Here’s a new Pokémon to meet! Minccino can evolve into Cinccino EX, a powerful Stage 1 evolution.
Cinccino EX has a strong attack called Energised Slap that deals 40 damage for each Energy card attached to it. Plus, its Smooth Coat ability can help you avoid damage if you flip a coin and win.
Let’s give a shout-out to the artist! The artwork for this Cinccino EX card is by 5ban Graphics, and it’s truly delightful – the card really pops with Cinccino’s cheerful expression.
