This new expansion introduces various design changes for the Pokémon Trading Card Game that will be implemented starting with the Scarlet & Violet expansion. For international audiences, yellow borders on Pokémon TCG cards will become gray to match the cards released in Japan, providing a more seamless Pokémon TCG experience around the world while allowing the card artwork to shine even further. Additionally, expansion symbols will be replaced by expansion codes and language codes across all cards. All cards with a '''Rare''' [[rarity]] will be [[holofoil]] in {{TCG|booster pack}}s, and booster packs will now contain a guaranteed three Holofoil cards instead of only two. For worldwide audiences, subcategories for {{TCG|Trainer card}}s — such as Supporter, Item and Stadium — will appear in the top left corner to be more visible in players’ hands. Basic {{TCG|Energy card}}s will display another Energy symbol on the bottom right corner to make it easier to track during gameplay.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-tcg-scarlet-violet-brings-changes-to-the-pokemon-trading-card-game ''Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet Brings Changes to the Pokémon Trading Card Game'' | Pokémon Website] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20221209142252/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/pokemon-tcg-scarlet-violet-brings-changes-to-the-pokemon-trading-card-game archived copy])</ref> {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s will also now be considered a category of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s alongside {{TCG|Item card}}s, {{TCG|Supporter card}}s, and {{TCG|Stadium card}}s.
