Pokémon TCG Pocket is all set to celebrate its first anniversary with new features
And a little surprise at the end
- Pokémon TCG Pocket’s first anniversary is just around the corner
- Updates will focus more on accessibility and collection-sharing
- A new Mega Evolution expansion was also teased
It’s wild to think it’s already been a year since Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket first launched. Time doesn’t just fly in this one, it sprints. Between the steady drip of expansions, events, and those gorgeous card animations, it never really felt like there was a quiet week.
Just a few weeks ago, we even got the Deluxe Pack: Ex booster, and at this point, the content roster is so stacked that if you're jumping in now, it may feel like arriving halfway through a movie. Still fun, but you’ll definitely feel that FOMO.
Over the months, we’ve seen Secluded Springs, Wisdom of Sea and Sky, Eevee Grove, and now, even Mega Evolutions have muscled their way into the spotlight. It’s been a proper celebration of all things Pokémon TCG, with each drop expanding that little digital binder into something vast and colourful.
Now, with the first anniversary just around the corner, the Pocket team is lining up some updates focused on accessibility and collection sharing. The new Share feature will let you gift cards of certain rarities to friends, limited to one per day.
The trade pool’s also expanding, with newer booster packs and rarer cards, which should make it easier to catch those shiny grails that always seem to elude you. But if you're taking a break from Pokémon, you should take a peek at this list of the best card battlers on iOS right now!
They’re even tweaking Wonder Pick, making it more likely to show uncollected cards from the latest expansions, which is honestly a small but satisfying touch. And tucked in at the end of the announcement, almost casually, was the reveal of a new Mega Evolution expansion coming later this month. Because of course there is.
There may have been some ups and downs, but it’s been a surprisingly packed year for Pokémon TCG Pocket. If the anniversary update keeps this pace, then it might just set the tone for another year of card-collecting chaos you wouldn’t want to miss.
