2023-24 Standard format (TCG)

The 2023-24 Standard format of the Pokémon Trading Card Game is the current Standard format. It has been used (alongside the current Expanded format) for Play! Pokémon organized play and in most sanctioned tournaments worldwide since April 14, 2023. It is also used in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Online and Pokémon TCG Live. This was the first standard rotation where cards were rotated out based on the regulation mark of the card, rather than by what set they belonged to.
