'''Next Destinies''' (Japanese: '''サイコドライブ・ヘイルブリザード''' ''Psycho Drive · Hail Blizzard'') is the name given to the fourth main expansion of cards from the English Black & White Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The Japanese release is split into two subsets, ''Psycho Drive'' and ''Hail Blizzard'', which make up the main expansion in Japan.

''Next Destinies'' introduces "{{TCG|Pokémon EX}}", a throwback to a similar mechanic introduced during the EX Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]: {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}}. Little is currently known about the English release of this expansion, though it is inferred that {{p|Cubchoo}}, {{p|Beartic}}, {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, {{TCG ID|Hail Blizzard|Kyurem EX|22}}, {{TCG ID|Reshiram EX Strength Deck|Reshiram EX|4}}, and {{TCG ID|Zekrom EX Strength Deck|Zekrom EX|9}} will be appearing as they are included in promotional merchandise for the expansion.

The Japanese counterparts, '''Psycho Drive''' and '''Hail Blizzard''', contain Pokémon from all five generations, and feature both {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Kyurem}} respectively. Each of the two subsets contain 48 Pokémon cards, 4 Trainer cards/Special Energy cards, and five Secret cards. Each set also contains three {{TCG|Pokémon EX}}. A few of the cards have been pulled from the expansions, and released in the English {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} and {{TCG|Noble Victories}} expansions.

 

The expansion focuses on [[Castelia City]] and the surrounding area. As such, much of the artwork features places around the city, such as {{TCG ID|Hail Blizzard|Vanillite|16}} depicted at the {{DL|Castelia City|Casteliacone}} ice cream stand, and {{TCG ID|Psycho Drive|Meowth|45}} on the docks.
