Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has announced its first new Booster Pack, and it's coming to the game on 17th December 2024.
The new expansion is called Mythic Island and stars Mew EX, alongside Celebi EX, trainer card Blue, Aerodactyl EX, Marshadow, Morelull, and a handful of other newcomers. New cosmetic items and new solo battles will also be landing next week.
Alongside this new Booster Pack, The Pokémon Company has also revealed that TCG Pocket has been downloaded 60 million times since its launch back in October 2024.

It's worth noting that this isn't the big new expansion, which is coming in early 2025. Nor is trading in the game yet — that's also coming next year.
But Pokémon TCG Pocket is proving hugely popular, to the surprise of no one. And this new pack looks absolutely lovey.

Love to see a new booster pack coming first and foremost and even more so considering the cards that you can find inside it, Mew EX and the other cards mentioned in the article and that can be seen in the video (shoutout also to Leaf) absolutely included!
I quit this game earlier this week. There is so little substance and depth to it that no amount of free cards is going to get me to come back.
This will make my 4 year old happy and it comes out two days after her birthday! She's been bummed lately about picking duplicates since we're only missing a few cards at this point.
I'm not playing, because the game is blocked in the Play Store in the Netherlands...
I almost got all the cards in genetic apex so here’s to hoping me and my sister can get all the cards first before this comes out (probably not).
I'm finding my interest waning.
For the life of me, I can't seem to get one of my favorite Pokemon, Jolteon. I've only seen it in a wonder pack once, even.
Otherwise, it's really just a fun way to kill a few minutes, I'm having fun with trying different strategies for each type. But, it takes so long to get to that screen-- between the startup logos and other animations-- that I find myself not opening it.
@Pillowpants Hi, also a Dutchie here! You can download and play it if you follow this helpful guide from IGN NL: https://nl.ign.com/pokemon-tcg-pocket/153997/news/zo-update-je-pokemon-tcg-pocket-in-nederland-en-belgie
The same also works for updates. I've been consistently playing since launch, the only downside (if you can call it that) is that we can't purchase anything. No microtransactions for us.
I've really enjoyed it since launch, but like others I'm feeling like there isn't enough to this game. Perhaps there doesn't have to be, and I should just enjoy it for what it is, but I'm thinking this new booster will really only boost my interest for a week or two
Today was a great morning for pocket. I finally got my 5 win streak for the vs event that’s on right now. And then I pulled the crown mew two. Excited for the new cards
Celebi EX? Finally an EX that isn't Gen 1.
@Grim omg, this event took some life out of me until I completed, I found it hard to achieve and for being so short, gave me some anxiety I wouldn't be able to complete it haha
So hyped for the new booster pack! I haven't had a new card (or even a repeated EX or something) for so many days now, I'm getting a little bummed, this will certainly bring some excitement back!
I love that they are implementing more solo battle! I agree there isn't enough game yet, but just like pokemon masters EX, they probably will be implementing more as time goes by, it's such a huge success, I don't see how they would miss this opportunity.
Even pokemon go (never played myself, but I follow news every now and then) they started off without gyms and a bunch of other features.
I'm not ready yet. I still need eight more cards to get the secret Mew one and I still don't have any Gardevoirs for my Mewtwo deck. Though if I can get one more 3* card, I should be able to get the rest with pack points.
@montrayjak It's easy to miss, so in case you didn't notice, you can use the points I was just talking about to get any card from the current set. Just hit the icon near the bottom right on the screen where you can rotate between the three packs. The really rare cards are probably out of reach, but you should have enough for a Jolteon if you haven't spent any yet.
@Blue_Dread I can understand wanting more game modes or something, but it is a brand new live service game. Those things tend to come with time. As for depth, there are some better decks, but I've played against multiple competent strategies for each type, and managed to win with decks of each type as a free to play player, so I don't have any complaints there. Assuming the game avoids aggressive power creep, the complexity should increase dramatically with each new set of cards, too.
@Gaymer90 yea same! I was slowly coming to terms with the idea of not getting the gold emblem. I was switching between so many decks yesterday and finally just settled on articuno/greninja/starmie and it eventually worked. Game always giving me Pikachu ex opponents ugh
The game is great for the train trip to work. Open a couple of packs, battle a couple of times. Not a lot of commitment needed.
It's just what I want.
This games helped me avoid social media. Got 5 minutes to kill? Great, I'll play this instead of Doom scrolling. It's perfect. Can't wait for more packs and trading
I get on to open the 2 packs every day or so. Battling is too simplistic with no ranked mode to hold my attention.
Really have no idea why I even open the packs since I do nothing with them lol, guess for the sake of pretending im opening a pack of cards.
only got 10 left of the current booster packs to complete, but damn the duplicates are killing me.
I have not spent one penny on this game, I havent even signed up for the month free trial so only 2 packs a day (unless i get more hourglasses after a level up)
@Anachronism Just tried this and it works great — thank you!! I honestly thought that was for selling, not buying.
