The Pokémon Company will expand Pokémon TCG Pocket with Dual-type cards in October 2026, beginning with Mega Mewtwo X ex, the company announced during a PokémonXP panel held alongside the 2026 World Championships in San Francisco.
The mobile collectible card game Pokémon TCG Pocket has steadily added new mechanics and expansions, and this update marks the introduction of cards that carry two Pokémon types.
According to the announcement, the first Dual-type entry will be Mega Mewtwo X ex, which will be a dual Psychic and Fighting-type card.
The company also confirmed that the update will allow first partner Pokémon to appear as ex cards; the initial partner ex cards revealed are Piplup ex and Fuecoco ex.
All of these additions are scheduled to roll out in October 2026 as part of a new series of TCG Pocket expansions.
The Pokémon Company framed the change as a platform-level update for TCG Pocket, expanding the range of card design and deck-building options available to players on mobile devices.
Representatives explained that adding Dual-type cards and partner ex cards will arrive alongside the next expansion cycle in October 2026.
This announcement followed the release of Team Rocket’s Ambition Expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket earlier that week.
The Pokémon Company described Team Rocket’s Pokémon as a highlight of the expansion, noting card art that features the team’s iconic logo and scenes of Team Rocket grunts scheming with their Pokémon.
The company also said the expansion includes unique Team Rocket Trainer cards intended to strengthen player decks.
Additionally, Team Rocket-themed covers and backdrops featuring the Boss and his Persian were scheduled to become available on Monday, August 31, 2026.
For collectors and competitive players tracking TCG Pocket, the October 2026 Dual-type rollout and the addition of partner ex cards represent concrete release targets to plan for.
While many Pokémon announcements cross over to platforms like the Nintendo Switch through separate product lines and showcases such as Nintendo Direct and the eShop, Pokémon TCG Pocket remains focused on mobile distribution.
Fans looking for these new Dual-type cards should watch for the official October expansion launch and the in-app updates from The Pokémon Company.
