Journey Together Set Guide
The first Scarlet & Violet expansion with trainer's Pokémon: Pokémon named for the character who owns them, from Lillie's Clefairy ex to Hop's Zacian ex.
Overview
Journey Together is the ninth main expansion of Scarlet & Violet. Its theme is trainer's Pokémon: 31 of its Pokémon carry a character's name, among them Hop's, Iono's, Lillie's and N's.
A trainer's Pokémon is its own card, not a version of the regular one. Hop's Zacian ex and a plain Zacian ex are different names, so cards that care about "Hop's Pokémon" only count the first.
Cards and rarities
Journey Together has 190 cards. Every card shows its number over the printed total along the bottom, as in "001/159", next to the set code JTG.
The printed total is 159, so the 31 cards from 160 to 190 are secret rares. Set completion in TurnZero HQ counts a set against its printed total and keeps the secret rares apart, so finishing the main set and chasing the cards above it read as two separate goals. How set completion works →

That makes Journey Together the most affordable 2025 set to chase. The Salamence ex Special Illustration Rare was second at $54.06, and its six Special Illustration Rares together came to about $272.
Lillie's Clefairy ex is printed three times in the set. The Double Rare was $2.01.

These are each card's headline TCGplayer market price on September 30, 2026. Prices can move a long way, most of all in a set's first months, so treat them as a snapshot. Each card's page shows today's price for every variant and its 90-day chart. How Pokémon card prices work →
What a complete set costs
One copy of every card in Journey Together, bought as singles, cost $435.08 on September 30, 2026. That is the least expensive of the seven sets released in 2025.
The three most valuable cards, Lillie's Clefairy ex, Salamence ex and N's Zoroark ex, come to $191.60, or 44% of the total. Without them the set costs $243.48. Of the 190 cards, 167 were under $2.00, together $45.78; the other 23 add up to $389.30.
Each card is counted at its cheapest priced variant, a Normal copy rather than a Reverse Holofoil where both exist, at its TCGplayer market price. This is what it costs to buy the set as singles. It is not what opening packs returns, and not what a complete set would sell for, which after fees and the many cards worth cents would be noticeably less.
Playing it
Almost all of Journey Together is still legal in Standard: its I and H cards survived the April 10, 2026 rotation, and only one card carries a G.
Trainer's Pokémon reward building around one character. Iono's Bellibolt ex only powers up Iono's Pokémon, and N's Zoroark ex only copies attacks from N's Pokémon, so these decks lean heavily on one name.
