'''Paradox Rift''' <!--and the Japanese '''Ancient Roar''' and '''Future Flash'''--> features [[Paradox Pokémon]], which have previously only appeared in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} and {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} expansions. The set was first previewed on August 11, 2023, when the Canadian Pokémon Center website briefly showed off one of the Elite Trainer Boxes for the set featuring {{p|Iron Valiant}}. More information about the set was revealed during the closing ceremony of the [[2023 World Championships|2023 Pokémon World Championships]] on August 13, 2023.

Paradox Rift introduces two new variants of cards: Ancient and Future, which are both available as Pokémon and Trainer cards. Both card variants feature unique text icons on the top right corner of the artwork, and unique backgrounds adorning the right half of the cards: Ancient cards have a layered {{wp|Stratum|strata}} background, while Future cards have a pixelated background. Ancient Pokémon cards tend to have direct attacks that deal a large amount of damage, while being difficult to Knock Out. Future Pokémon cards tend to have {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} and attacks with extra effects, allowing for craftier strategies.

<!--Paradox Rift includes cards from the Japanese Ancient Roar and Future Flash expansions, the {{TCG|Raging Surf}} subset, and the {{TCG|Terastal Starter Sets}}. -->Paradox Rift contains 13 {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}, seven Tera Pokémon ex, 34 {{TCG|illustration rare}} Pokémon, 15 {{TCG|special illustration rare}} Pokémon and Supporter cards, 28 {{TCG|ultra rare}} full-art etched Pokémon ex and Supporter cards, and seven {{TCG|hyper rare}} gold etched cards.
