With Sword & Shield officially concluded, the Scarlet & Violet era of the Pokémon TCG kicked off in March 2023 with a focus on the ninth generation of Pokémon games and the new region: Paldea. It all began with the Scarlet & Violet base set, which introduced major, lasting changes to the hobby.
Now, the borders of the cards have become silver, matching the Japanese releases. Another major change is that now, each pack culminates in at least a holo-rare and two reverse holos. The major mechanic of this era is the lowercase ex, which features a double holographic pattern of a horizontal shine and a starry sparkle. Full Art exs now use a green, foil outline around the Pokémon.

All three of the cards, illustrated by Souichirou Gunjima, show the Pokémon in front of the skin, futzing with its coiffed hair. The Quaxly card shows a joyous Quaxly playing with water while its evolution, Quaxwell, is shown tending overly seriously to its hair in front of a messy sink with a cabinet left open behind it.
