We might actually be seeing a change in traditional scheduling where there is no subset expansion between SV10 and SV11 The last time the third main expansion released in June was S3 Infinity Zone (June 5, 2020), which led to sets after it moving up like S3a Legendary Heartbeat (July 10, 2020) and S4 Shocking Volt Tackle did (September 18, 2020) A potential reason for this is that PLZA is releasing in November, and the first set of 2026 PLZA era might be in December 2025
