In particular, the new cycle of the standard format starts on April 14, 2023, the opening day of the Pokémon International Championships Europe in London, and applies to all face-to-face events related to Play! Pokemon. However, the rotation of the Pokémon TCG Live digital sets will take place a few weeks in advance, As of March 30, 2023.
The rotation makes it impossible to use all cards with the letter “D” as your own regulatory sign (The letter is in the lower left corner of the card, as you can see in the picture at the bottom of this message). Cards with remain valid regulatory sign E and F, as well as all subsequent letters to be used in the coming months. The next rotation, set to take place in 2024, could see more changes and retire some newer sets as well.
That regulatory sign D is about i first expansion sets of Sword and Shield, whose cards can no longer be used in official Pokémon TCG events.

Finally, that The expanded format will not see any changes in 2023therefore, you can use any map released since Black and White.
