Evolving Skies features the fan favorite Eevee and all of its Evolutions in the same expansion. Eevee’s Evolutions will appear in the expansion as both Pokemon V and Pokemon VMAX versions. Several Eevee Evolutions will also appear with Battle Styles, such as Single Strike Flareon VMAX and Rapid Strike Sylveon VMAX. Dragon-type Pokemon make their first appearance in the Sword & Shield series, including Rayquaza VMAX and Duraludon VMAX.

The Pokemon TCG: Sword & Shield - Evolving Skies expansion includes 15 Pokemon VMAX cards, 18 Pokemon V cards, 33 full-art Pokemon V cards, 24 Trainer cards, 5 full-art Supporter cards, and a new Special Energy card. Sword & Shield - Evolving Skies will be available in booster packs, special collections, and two versions of the Elite Trainer Box (one featuring Umbreon, Flareon, Jolteon, and Leafeon, with the other featuring Sylveon, Vaporeon, Glaceon, and Espeon).

On August 14, players can get the Sword & Shield - Evolving Skies Build and Battle Box at their local Pokemon TCG retailer. Each Build and Battle Box includes 4 Pokemon TCG: Sword & Shield - Evolving Skies booster packs; a 23-card Evolution pack featuring key cards from current and prior sets, including 1 of 4 alternate-art promo cards; and a deckbuilding tip sheet.
