The Pokémon Company has officially revealed Mega Rising, an upcoming expansion for the popular mobile title Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Slated to launch globally on October 30, 2025, the Mega Rising expansion marks a milestone for the game by introducing the highly anticipated Mega Evolution mechanic and a suite of enhancements aimed at deepening the Pokémon TCG Pocket experience.
Pokémon TCG Pocket, the collectible card game adaptation for mobile devices, has continually expanded its digital card pool and features since its initial launch.
With Mega Rising, players can expect to see iconic Mega Evolutions integrated into gameplay for the first time, providing fresh strategic opportunities and collectible options for dedicated fans.
In tandem with the release, Pokémon TCG Pocket will roll out a substantial free update designed to refine card collection and trading.
Key highlights from The Pokémon Company's official announcement include:
- **Share Feature Expansion**: Players can now share one high-rarity '♦–♦♦♦♦' card daily with friends, including newly released cards from Mega Rising.
This improvement encourages active community participation and card circulation among players.
- **Broadened Card Trading**: In response to player demand, the range of tradable cards will expand significantly.
Not only will players be able to trade ♦–♦♦♦♦ and ★ rarity cards, but the update also brings ★★ and Shiny 1–Shiny 2 cards into the trading pool.
Buyers and collectors stand to benefit immensely as the trading ecosystem becomes more dynamic and inclusive of recent expansions and booster packs.
- **Wonder Pick Improvements**: The fan-favorite Wonder Pick feature is set for enhancement.
Uncollected cards from the latest expansion will now appear more frequently, and a new display will show the number of copies of each card already owned by the player.
These changes are designed to streamline the collection process and minimize duplicate acquisitions, supporting a more efficient and enjoyable card collecting experience.
The Pokémon Company’s official statement underscores its commitment to supporting and evolving Pokémon TCG Pocket.
"We’re introducing Mega Evolution with Mega Rising to thrill both competitive and casual players.
The new update streamlines trading and collection, fostering a more engaging experience," a representative summarized.
Pokémon TCG Pocket continues to position itself as a premier digital trading card game, blending classic Pokémon mechanics with modern mobile design.
With its new Mega Rising expansion, the game is poised to capture even more of the thriving card game audience on mobile platforms and the Nintendo Switch.
Mega Rising and its associated free update arrive worldwide on October 30, 2025, ensuring that the Pokémon TCG community will have new content and features to explore for the foreseeable future.
