The Pokémon TCG Pocket franchise is gearing up for an exciting new chapter with the upcoming launch of the Mythical Island expansion. Slated for global release on December 17, this marks the second major expansion for the game, introducing over 80 new cards that draw inspiration from an enchanting island theme. Players worldwide can anticipate a fresh wave of excitement as they explore the unique offerings of this latest addition.
At the heart of the Mythical Island expansion is the legendary Psychic-type Pokémon, Mew, presented in its highly sought-after EX form. This expansion not only showcases Mew EX but also includes five additional EX cards, enhancing the strategic elements of gameplay. Alongside these powerful cards, players will find five new Trainer cards specifically designed to augment their gaming experience.
The expansion features a captivating mix of both basic and rare Pokémon cards. Players can look forward to encountering familiar faces like Dedenne, Morelull, and Snivy, while also discovering rarer gems such as Vaporeon, Celebi, Aerodactyl EX, and, of course, Mew EX. The availability of these cards will be through booster packs or via the game’s Wonder Pick feature, providing multiple avenues for players to augment their collections.
In addition to the card offerings, Pokémon TCG Pocket is enhancing player interaction with a new trading feature set to launch in January 2025. This feature will allow players to exchange cards with one another, fostering community engagement and strategic deck building across the player base.
To celebrate the release of the Mythical Island expansion, a special solo battle event will be held. This event will challenge players with decks built around impressive cards such as Mew EX, Mewtwo EX, Aerodactyl EX, and Marowak EX. Participants will have the opportunity to win exciting rewards including Shinedust, Pack Hourglass, and Shop tickets by succeeding in their battles.
As the Pokémon TCG Pocket community eagerly awaits this expansion, they can also expect more booster packs to be released before the end of 2024. This initiative aims to keep the gameplay dynamic and engaging as players immerse themselves in the magical world of mythical Pokémon.
