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. It is 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. It is home to 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 enough 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 and have effects related to the Lost Zone.

The Seeker, who carries the Lost Remover, is the only human known to inhabit 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 each other 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.

Gear Palace

The Gear Palace (as named in Steam Siege's blurb) is a location featured in many of Steam Siege's illustrations. According to its blurb, the Gear Palace endured years of stability until it was attacked by Shiny Mega Gardevoir along with "a host of greedy forces" (possibly represented by the Japanese Cruel Traitor set), while Volcanion from the Japanese Fever-Burst Fighter set attempted to break the siege.

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 depicts a location that may be its domain in the background.[2]

Peaceful Park

The Peaceful Park is a setting featured in the illustration of many cards through the Sword & Shield Series.

Paradigm Trigger island

All Item cards and many Pokémon introduced in the Japanese Paradigm Trigger expansion originate from an unnamed tropical island.[3]
