Eagerly awaiting the next big thing for Pokémon TCG Pocket? You’re in luck! An exciting expansion is set to launch next week, introducing a fresh booster pack where you might just score a coveted Mew card.
According to a recent tweet from the game’s official account, this new addition is named Mythical Island, and it’s dropping on Tuesday, December 17. “I went through quite the journey to bring you this update. Okay, maybe I just asked nicely and shed a few tears,” the TCG Pocket social media team humorously shared.
A preview of the trailer reveals a collection of new cards. Among those making their debut in the Mythical Island booster pack are Mew, Aerodactyl, and Celebi, offering a thrilling option for trainers tired of repeatedly pulling Doduos (is it Doduo, or maybe Dodui?).
“The Mythical Island expansion introduces over 80 cards, featuring five new Pokémon ex cards, five fresh Trainer cards, and beautifully designed immersive cards that draw you into the magical realm of Pokémon,” details the trailer’s description.
Moreover, you’ll find newly designed binder and display board covers showcasing the enchanting scenery of Mythical Island. It’s perfect for sending your Pokémon off on an imaginary getaway, echoing Pokémon’s unique take on fantasy mixed with a bit of moral gray area if pondered deeply. After all, in this universe, immortal creatures are compelled into battling realms—food for thought!
The fascinating world of Pokémon TCG Pocket has also hit a milestone, reaching over 60 million downloads. Clearly, it’s best not to ruffle too many feathers, given that’s a pretty significant fanbase, myself included—I’d only end up arguing with myself, a paradox too complicated for a casual day.
