Hi there. It has been revealed that there is a new Pokemon TCG Pocket set. Deluxe Pack ex is the new set to release. This set features card reprints from last year. Reprinted cards helps people catch up on cards that were missed from previous sets.
I do think that new sets will start with the letter B instead of A and there is some sort of rotation where you can use B cards only and not be able to use A cards. This is speculation from me.
Many of the reprinted cards have new artworks. In terms of gameplay, these reprints don't impact the metagame that much. In-game collectors could go crazy for new art cards.
Each 4-card booster pack will come with a guaranteed ♦♦♦♦ or higher. This is also like the real-life "High Class" booster packs, which always come with a guaranteed chase card like a Pokemon ex.
Art Cards
Here are some art cards. Source
As Pikachu is a mascot Pokemon, Pikachu ex gets featured with a new art card. Arceus ex gets another version as well as Greninja and Gardevoir.

The new Farfetch'd card does look nice even though it is not a Pokemon ex.
There is a reprint of Professor's Research with a new Professor Oak version.
Thank you for reading.
