The Pokémon Trading Card Game has released thousands of cards over the last 25 years, introducing fans to a new way to interact with the world of Pokémon. Ultimately, the Pokémon TCG is so much more than a game. It’s a universe unto itself, shaped by strategy, colored by stunning artwork that allows us to see Pokémon in a new light. And, of course, it’s about developing the best possible deck and decimating your opponents.
But in order to master the world of Pokémon TCG, you have to get to know the cards really well. Test your knowledge of the Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield Series by identifying each card’s featured Pokémon by the Pokémon that’s visible in the background. In some cases, the featured Pokémon are likely to interact with the Pokémon in the background, but in most cases, these questions will seriously challenge your memory and knowledge of Pokémon TCG.
