It remains to be seen if [[Play! Pokémon]] will ever rotate sets out of the Expanded format, as they currently do with {{TCG|Standard format}}. Additional expansions are added to the current {{TCG|Rotation}} three weeks after they are released in the United States. Starting from 2016, they were added to the current Rotation on the third Friday in the month of release.

If a card in an Expanded-legal expansion is a [[Reprinted card|reprint]] of an older card, all prints of the card can be played in an Expanded-legal expansion-legal deck (e.g. {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Double Colorless Energy|96}}).  However, some cards significantly differ in wording between older prints and newer prints (e.g. {{TCG ID|Base Set|Charizard|4}} from the {{TCG|Base Set}} compared to its {{TCG|Stormfront}} iteration); those cards cannot be used in sanctioned tournaments. The exception is cards that have received errata (e.g. {{TCG|Base Set}} {{TCG ID|Base Set|Potion|94}}); all printings of cards with errata may be used in sanctioned tournaments.
