Information
As indicated by its name, Enhanced Expansion Pack: Paradise Dragona is a subset heavily focused on Pokémon that are originally Dragon-type in the core series games, such as Latias, Latios, and Gouging Fire; and Trainer cards depicting characters associated with Dragon-type Pokémon, such as Drayton and Lisia. It also continues to introduce Stellar-type Tera Pokémon ex into the meta, with Stellar-type AlolanExeggutor as its central Pokémon. A tropical/summer theme is also generally present within cards in the set.
Paradise Dragona is designed for use in Sealed format tournaments, in which participants are provided with sealed TCG products and have to build and battle their decks using only cards pulled from those products, along with any other cards provided by the tournament staff.
Paradise Dragona was released in Japan on September 13, 2024, followed by localized releases in Traditional Chinese on September 27, 2024, and in Korean on October 30, 2024 — the year 2024 is the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese calendar. Each booster pack of Paradise Dragona contains five cards. Each booster box of Paradise Dragona contains 30 booster packs. There are no Lightning-type or Darkness-type cards in this set.
Cards introduced within this set are included in the English Surging Sparks expansion.
