The Pokemon Company has announced a significant content update for its official Pokemon TCG Pocket app, confirming that Dual-Type cards will begin rolling out in October 2026.
The teaser material published by the company highlights a Mega Mewtwo X card categorized as both a Psychic-type and a Fighting-type, and the update will also add Starter Pokémon EX cards to the app inventory.
Background
Pokemon TCG Pocket is the official digital companion application for the Pokemon Trading Card Game produced by The Pokemon Company.
The app is used by players and collectors to manage card collections, preview new releases, and view digital representations of physical cards.
The October 2026 update represents one of the more notable feature additions announced for the app since its initial launch.
What The Pokemon Company announced
In clear, journalistic language, The Pokemon Company said that beginning in October 2026, Pokemon TCG Pocket will introduce Dual-Type cards, starting with a Mega Mewtwo X card that will carry both Psychic and Fighting type designations.
The company also confirmed that Starter Pokémon EX cards will join the app's card pool as part of the same update.
The teaser released alongside the announcement visually showcases the Mega Mewtwo X Dual-Type card and signals the broader card-format changes planned for the digital title.
The company has not provided a full rollout schedule for each Dual-Type release or detailed card mechanics in the teaser itself.
Why this matters
For collectors and players using Pokemon TCG Pocket, Dual-Type cards and the addition of Starter Pokémon EX variants could alter how collections are cataloged and how new card art and classifications are displayed in the app.
These changes are primarily cosmetic and classification-focused in the teaser material, with further functional details to be shared by The Pokemon Company closer to the October release window.
Next steps and availability
The update is scheduled to begin in October 2026.
Users of Pokemon TCG Pocket should monitor The Pokemon Company’s official channels for the full announcement, detailed patch notes, and any subsequent teasers showing additional Dual-Type cards.
Additional information and confirmations will come from the publisher as the release date approaches.
