pokemon shrouded fables

Pokémon fans are in for a feast. Just a month after Twilight Masquerade was released, a new Pokémon Scarlet & Violet set is on its way.

The Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Shrouded Fable is a special expansion centered around the Loyal Three of Kitakami, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti.
The mythical Pokémon Pecharunt also makes its Pokémon TCG debut.

This expansion promises a wealth of stunning cards, boasting five hyper-rare gold-etched cards.

This latest Sword & Shield expansion, Shrouded Fable, has brought new excitement to the franchise.

This article will cover everything about the Sword & Shield Shrouded Fable expansion, its formats, key cards to look out for, value, and whether it’s an excellent set to invest in.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet TCG

With the reintroduction of Pokémon EX, the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet inaugural set – Pokémon Scarlet & Violet took the Pokémon TCG world by storm.

The set contained over 190 cards, including at least 30 trainer cards and 10 new Pokémon ex cards. About a year after its release in March 2023, the Scarlet & Violet series has several notable expansions.

With several outstanding expansions such as Temporal Forces and 151, Scarlet & Violet is considered by most TCG fans as one of the most notable Pokémon TCG series.

The latest expansion, Shrouded Fable, is set to bring even more excitement to the franchise.

Shrouded Fable

On May 16, 2024, The Pokémon Company surprised TCG fans by announcing the third special expansion for the Scarlet & Violet Series. This new special expansion, Shrouded Fable, will be available on August 2, 2024.

The set description on the Pokémon Center is as follows:

“Rumors swirl and memories deceive as the march of time beats on in the land of Kitakami! Prepare for nightfall and discover a malevolent presence as Pecharunt ex commands the Loyal Three—Okidogi ex, Munkidori ex, and Fezandipiti ex—to do its nefarious bidding. Meanwhile, Revavroom ex plugs into the grid to Terastallize into a Lightning type, and Kingdra ex makes a royal splash in the Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Shrouded Fable expansion!”

Although PokéBeach had hinted at a special English set coming in August, the Shrouded Fable announcement came out of the blues, especially since TCG players were gearing up for the release of Twilight Masquerade.

However, while there was no build-up to the announcement of this new Sword and Shield expansion, the upcoming set has been well-received by both TCG players and Pokémon collectors.

Pokémon Sword and Shield Shrouded Fable product basics

Shrouded Fable introduces over 95 cards, including 10 ultra rare Pokémon ex, Tera Pokémon ex and Supporter cards.

This set will also contain three ACE SPEC rare Trainer cards, 15 illustration rare Pokémon, five special illustration rare Pokémon and Supporter cards and five hyper rare gold etched cards. Shrouded Fable will comprise cards from the Japanese Night Wanderer set.

Like the Japanese set Night Wanderer, this special Sword and Shield expansion’s focus is on the Loyal Three of Kitakami, Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti, alongside the mythical Pecharunt, which will all be getting EX cards.

Besides the Pokémon roster, Shrouded Fable also treats collectors to several changes. One significant change is that parallel foil cards will feature a new, unique foil pattern surrounding the card artwork.

Additionally, players can identify cards in the parallel foil set by viewing the expansion code at the bottom-left corner of the card.

Usually, this information was in a black box with white text. However, in Shrouded Fable, it will be illustrated in a white box with black text.

Why you should be excited for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Shrouded Fable

The Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Shrouded Fable set will introduce a brand new Pokémon to the TCG universe with Pecharunt. It also introduces several new aspects to the TCG.

Shop for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet: Shrouded Fable boxes on eBay

Pecharunt was originally discovered in The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLCs and is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It is the leader of the Loyal Three and is associated with Ogerpon.

For TCG, players can use Pecharunt ex to switch in another Darkness-Type Pokémon that’s currently benched with its Subjugating Chains ability. Interestingly, the Shrouded Fables set will be legal for the Pokémon World Championships 2024.

Away from TCG, the art on these cards are amazing! As a special set, Shrouded Fable contains several promo cards, which, while not very powerful in gameplay, are exceptionally beautifully designed to appeal to TCG fans and collectors alike. Already, the Greninja promo card is stunning.

It’s easily one of the best promos in a good while. While the Night Wandering set is great on its own, Shrouded Fable adds much more to ensure a remarkable set. There are several promo cards and rare illustration cards with fantastic artwork.

While this is the first Pokémon TCG special set since Double Crisis not to have a Charizard, its checklist is filled with several stunning promo cards for collectors.

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Shrouded Fable value Overview

As discussed in our article on the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Twilight Masquerade, it’s not wise to invest in boxes of Scarlet & Violet Pokémon sets as many of the boxes have not increased much since the initial release.

While Pokémon Center Elite Trainer Boxes hold their value exceedingly well, it appears to be financially smarter to go with top singles from these sets.

Let’s consider a few top sales from the last fur Scarlet & Violet expansions.

Chase cards from all Pokémon expansions have held their value remarkably well and returned significant profits to their holders.

As a special set, chase cards from Shrouded Fable will hold their value even more. While the value will fluctuate over time, anyone holding these chase cards should see a profit over the long run.

Final thoughts on Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Shrouded Fable

In conclusion, the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Shrouded Fable expansion appears set to bring a new level of excitement to the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet TCG series.
