How does the Pokemon TCG rotation work?
It's simple: Older sets get phased out of the Standard format to make room for new ones. This way, the game doesn't get stale.

Honestly, I think the rotation shakes things up too much. I miss playing my old favorites in official competitions.
So, the Pokemon TCG rotation is kinda like spring cleaning for your card collection. Each year, to keep the game fresh and balanced, Pokemon decides which card sets are still cool to play in the Standard format and which ones gotta take a break. If a set's too old, it gets rotated out. This means you'll need to check which sets are in play before you show up to your next tourney. Keeps everyone on their toes and mixes up strategies!
