The Ancient Roar expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), released in Japan on October 27, 2023, focused on the "Ancient" variant of cards. These cards featured a layered strata background and emphasized direct, high-damage attacks. Ancient Pokémon were known for their powerful moves and resilience, making them difficult to Knock Out. The set also introduced Ancient Trainer cards that supported these Pokémon with helpful effects. Ancient Roar was part of the Scarlet & Violet—Paradox Rift expansion, contributing to the ongoing introduction of Paradox Pokémon and enhancing the strategic depth of the game.
