With Standard format rotating soon, a reminder:
For in-person Play! Pokémon events, the Standard format rotation will go into effect on April 11, 2025.
Cards with the “F” regulation mark will no longer be legal for play in the 2025 Standard format. Cards with “G,” “H”, and “I” regulation marks will be legal to use (as will any future regulation marks that may be released). A card’s legality status is no longer based on which expansion it’s from. Even if a card is from a recently released expansion, players will need to refer to the regulation mark on the bottom of the card to see whether that card is legal for play. New cards still must follow the appropriate waiting period to become tournament legal, which is typically two weeks after their release. Moving forward, players should expect cards with the oldest legal regulation mark to rotate out of the Standard format when a new one is introduced.
