The new expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, dubbed 'Mythical Island' is out now via a free, automatic update for all users.
The booster set contains an additional 68 standard cards alongside roughly 20 secret cards for you to find, including the likes of Mew, Celebi, and Aerodactyl.
In addition to the new cards, a new 'themed collection' set of missions has also been added, allowing you to earn Wonder Hourglasses, Emblem Tickets, profile icons, and more. The profile icons available are Mew and Blue (trainer), and you'll have to collect three of each card design to unlock them.
A further major update will be applied to the game in 2025, adding the ability to trade certain cards with other users starting in January. While the selection of cards available for trade will likely be slim at first, this will be expanded upon gradually in the following weeks and months.
Have you opened any packs from the Mythical Island expansion yet? What's your rarest pull so far? Let us know with a comment.

It came 5,5 hours before this post and it's not roughly 20 secret cards, but 86 - 68 = 18 cards!!!!!
As I've already said, happy to see TCG Pocket already getting a new expansion and even more so considering the cards included in it!
Thanks to @jolteon23 I was able to install the game and play it last weekend. It's a fun little game, but seeing as I can't make any purchases in the Netherlands, I doubt I will keep playing it.
Also it is quite a watered down version of the original TCG, which to me already felt like a watered down version of Magic the Gathering... 20 card decks don't allow for much variation, but I suppose the whole idea is to allow for really quick games to be played.
I've had some fun with this game but I do wish you could play a "true" game instead of the simplified version they've created. I don't think the pared down gameplay is going to sustain my interest long-term.
I had enough hourglasses saved up to immediately open almost 30 packs! Got two new EX pokemon, one of which was a full art, and two other full art cards on top of that. Excited for some new life being breathed into this game, it's getting old seeing the same three decks online all the time.
Really excited to rip some of these open later! Excited to see new Supporter/Trainer/Item cards to liven the game up a bit. The Pikachu deck was becoming a bit much for me...
I already opened two packs this morning. I pretty much hit a wall with obtaining new cards, so this is a nice breath of fresh air.
Also, for someone like me who was never really invested in the competitive side of the TCG - I've always been more of a collector - I really enjoy the simplified gameplay in the app. I knew how to play the original formats due to the GBC game, but the main card game has changed a lot since then.
All I got were a bunch of errors.
Mine keeps on crashing since the update. I did get two lots of new expansion cards, but every time i try and look at missions it spits me back to the front screen.
I'm on an android powered by Knox, wonder if that's the reason
Finally!
While it was quick relative to the launch of the game, even as a free-to-play user I was getting so little in the way of new cards that I stopped caring to log in and open even my free packs.
I'm not gonna use my hourglasses because then I'd be in the exact same spot.
Had enough saved for a 10er. Felt like the rate for holos were lower with the new packs but probably just bad luck.
Got a cool Mew from them at least.
Will continue to just open packs since I dont care for the actual card game much. At least if they added ranked with some rewards it would give me a reason to battle.
