Sword & Shield Era →

The Sun & Moon Era (Japanese: ポケモンカードゲーム サン&ムーン Pokémon Card Game Sun & Moon) is series of Pokémon Trading Card Game sets and products released by The Pokémon Company (TPC), Pokémon Korea and Pokémon Shanghai in asian markets. It is the first Era where sets have been released Thai, Indonesian, Traditional Chinese & Simplified Chinese, however as these markets were behind they received different releases as the Japanese and Korean releases in an effort to catch up to those markets.

Information

The Pokémon Company oversees Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian and Thai releases, Pokémon Korea oversees Korean releases and Pokémon Shanghai oversees Simplified Chinese releases. Each of these companies may order sets released in their markets differently, or even tweak the cards in their releases as Pokémon Korea gives their cards the same yellow borders found in the Sun & Moon Series sets released by The Pokémon Company International, but they broadly all contain the same cards in the same releases.
