This is a list of notable Pokémon Trading Card Game exclusive settings, usually shared by multiple cards beyond Narrative illustrations and Combined illustrations.

Southern Islands

Main article: Southern Islands (TCG)

The Southern Islands is a pair of islands released in the English set of the same name.

Puzzle Continent

Main article: Puzzle Continent

The Puzzle Continent is a region introduced in the Japanese The Town on No Map expansion and a known habitat of Crystal Pokémon.

Holon

Main article: Holon

Holon is a region inhabited by humans seeking to utilize the mysterious energy emitted by the location's power spots, and home to the δ Delta Species Pokémon.

Lost Link island

All cards featured in the Japanese Lost Link subset are from a floating island rising up from the sea, which features forested areas, a lake at its center and a few mountains around it.

A vortex is present in the sky above the island, seemingly close to engulf it as seen in the Lost World artwork. Some of the Pokémon within the island are able to manipulate energy fields similar to the vortex's appearance, all which share having effects related to the Lost Zone.

The Seeker is the only known human inhabiting the island.

Furious Fists arenas

Furious Fists has five different arena settings into many of its cards' illustration: the Training Center, Mountain Ring, unnamed street plaza and beach arenas and the Fighting Stadium.

According to the Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection artbook, the Fighting Stadium gathers fighters who have made it through battles in each of the other regions.

Parallel Worlds

Main article: Parallel Worlds (TCG)

The Parallel Worlds are a pair of settings from split timelines introduced in the BREAKthrough expansion that start colliding with eachother during BREAKpoint. In Fates Collide it is shown that both worlds were merged into one with the aid of Mega Alakazam and other Pokémon enforcing its order.

Ultra Space

Ultra Prism is stated to take place in "an alternate version of Sinnoh, one of the twisted parallel regions that players can reach by traveling through an Ultra Wormhole"[1]. Some of its cards feature an Ultra Wormhole at the top of a mountain, being unclear if said spot is Mt. Coronet; the card released in this set featuring this location is noticeably missing it, though.

The English Booster pack artwork for Lost Thunder featuring Blacephalon decipts what appear to be its domain in the background.

Peaceful Park

The Peaceful Park is a setting featured in the illustration of many cards through the Sword & Shield Series. TODO: change Narratibve Illustration reference to a cardlist template below
