Pokémon TCG Pocket Dual-Type Cards Coming in October — Mega Mewtwo X Revealed

The Pokémon Company International has confirmed that dual-type cards will be added to Pokémon TCG Pocket in October, marking a notable content update for the mobile collectible card game. The announcement came during a developer panel titled “Pokémon TCG Pocket: Cards, Creators & Clashes—From B Series to What’s Next,” held at Pokémon XP alongside the 2026 Pokémon World Championships. Panelists included members of the development teams from Creatures Inc., DeNA, and The Pokémon Company, who presented a behind-the-scenes look at the app’s evolution and roadmap. Developers showcased live battles and previewed upcoming content, explaining that the introduction of dual-type cards is intended to expand deckbuilding options and reflect mechanics seen in the physical Trading Card Game. Among the first dual-type cards confirmed for the game is Mega Mewtwo X, described by the team as a dual Psychic and Fighting-type card and slated to be part of the October additions. Developers emphasized this card as an early example of how dual typing will be handled in Pokémon TCG Pocket’s gameplay and card library. Pokémon TCG Pocket is currently available on the App Store for iOS devices and Google Play for Android devices. The mobile app launched as a companion to the wider Pokémon TCG ecosystem and has been developed collaboratively by Creatures Inc., DeNA, and The Pokémon Company International. This October update represents one of the first major post-launch content expansions focused on card-type mechanics. The announcement at Pokémon XP ties into the larger fan event schedule surrounding the 2026 Pokémon World Championships, where Nintendo and Pokémon partners frequently use panels to reveal updates and engage directly with the competitive and casual communities.
