If you’ve been playing Pokémon TCG Pocket since launch, you’ve probably already collected most of the cards from the game’s first expansion.
But as The Verge reports, last week the Pokémon Company announced that Mythical Island, a new expansion set featuring the pokémon Mew, was set to debut Pokémon TCG Pocket today, December 17th. A trailer for the expansion revealed a handful of new Pokémon cards coming to the game for the first time like Purrloin, Serperior, and Marshadow.
Previously, the only way to obtain a Mew card was by collecting cards featuring each of the 150 original pokémon from the Kantonian Pokédex, but now it should be much easier to snag the new Mew EX card simply by ripping a few packs.
The Pokémon Company also announced that TCG Pocket exceeded 60M iOS and Android downloads since the game launched at the end of October. The ability to actually trade cards with other people hasn’t come to the game just yet – it’s expected early in 2025 – but it’s going to be very useful, given that there’s a bunch of fresh cards on the way.
