Lechonk Charges into the English Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Trading Card Game Set

The first Pokémon Scarlet and Violet English cards will come out on March 31, 2023. Fans in the West are excited after waiting for months.

The Pokémon Company gave us a sneak peek at one of the many cards in the new set. We saw the English version of the cute pig Pokémon—Lechonk.

Lechonk will have two moves. Its Stampede attack deals 20 damage. Its other move, “Repelling Odor,” looks really useful.

“Repelling Odor” lets you switch your opponent’s Active Pokémon with one on their bench. They choose which one, but it can still mess up their plan. This move might even shake up competitive play.

We’ll see more cards soon, including the first English ones. Collectors and players should keep an eye out for Lechonk and other strong Pokémon in these new packs.
