Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Unveils Extradimensional Crisis Expansion Featuring Ultra Beasts

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, Nintendo’s mobile adaptation of the iconic trading card franchise, continues its dynamic release schedule with the upcoming Extradimensional Crisis expansion.

Set to launch globally on May 30, 2025 (or May 29 at 11 PM PT), this new booster pack introduces the formidable Ultra Beasts—a popular cohort of Pokémon originally featured in Pokémon Sun & Moon—into the digital card game’s growing catalog. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has seen regular monthly updates since its debut, keeping players engaged with fresh booster sets and features through the Nintendo eShop and mobile platforms.

The Extradimensional Crisis expansion builds on the strong momentum established by April’s Alola-inspired Celestial Guardians set, further enriching the collection for players and collectors alike. With this update, players can look forward to acquiring and battling with 100 brand-new cards.

The set features a diverse selection of new ex cards, specialized Trainer cards, and multiple Ultra Beasts—highly anticipated additions that include Buzzwole, Nihilego, Blacephalon, and Guzzlord.

The Ultra Beasts’ presence not only pays homage to their debut in Pokémon Sun & Moon but also introduces new gameplay possibilities and strategies within Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. According to representatives from the Pokémon Company, the mission remains to balance thrilling new content with the strategic depth that longtime fans expect.

They emphasized that each expansion aims to provide "memorable artwork and innovative cards" crafted to inspire both casual and competitive players.

The latest batch of illustrations in Extradimensional Crisis continues the tradition of top-tier visual design that the Pokémon TCG is known for globally. Since its launch, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has expanded the reach of the physical card game, allowing new and experienced players to collect, trade, and battle from any location.

Monthly content drops fuel an active player community and help maintain the game’s status as one of the leading digital adaptations of the trading card game genre. As the Extradimensional Crisis expansion arrives, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket shows no signs of slowing down the pace of releases.

Existing and new players can experience this next wave of content starting May 30, 2025, by visiting the in-game shop or the Nintendo eShop.

For those following the rapid evolution of the TCG on mobile, this expansion marks another significant milestone as the game continues to celebrate both innovation and tradition.
