The Pokémon Company has officially unveiled the latest expansion for Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, titled 'Deluxe Pack ex.' Set to launch in the app on September 29, this new expansion delivers a fresh layer of excitement for digital TCG enthusiasts, offering both visually stunning Parallel Foil cards and guaranteed rare pulls, solidifying Pokémon TCG Pocket’s reputation as one of the most engaging mobile collectible card game experiences available.
Launched earlier this year, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket swiftly climbed the charts on both iOS and Android app stores, combining classic Pokémon TCG mechanics with new digital-exclusive innovations.
The latest expansion, 'Deluxe Pack ex,' highlights The Pokémon Company’s commitment to keeping mobile players engaged with regular content updates, special events, and collectible incentives.
Among the most notable additions in 'Deluxe Pack ex' are the Parallel Foil cards—brand-new variants that reinterpret existing cards with fresh artwork and a unique visual shimmer created by a bespoke foil effect.
These striking designs not only attract collectors but also offer seasoned players an opportunity to reinvigorate their decks visually.
A key feature of this expansion, as confirmed by The Pokémon Company, is the inclusion of guaranteed high-rarity cards.
Each 'Deluxe Pack ex' contains four cards, with one assured to be of ★★★★ rarity or higher, selected from previous expansions such as Genetic Apex through to Wisdom of Sea and Sky.
This change is especially compelling for those who might have missed elusive cards in past releases, as it provides a renewed opportunity to collect coveted shinies without relying entirely on chance.
In a press release, a representative from The Pokémon Company stated that this pack structure aims to "reward players who remain actively engaged with Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket and make it easier to complete their collections." The developer further highlighted the return of fan-favorite cards in this expansion, underscoring its focus on both nostalgia and fresh content.
Alongside the new card packs, a suite of in-app events has been confirmed for launch in October.
Among them is the Raichu ex Drop event, scheduled for October 6, followed by the Parallel Foil Cards Mass Outbreak Event on October 23.
These events will offer additional ways for players to obtain exclusive cards and participate in time-limited challenges.
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket can be downloaded for free on Android and iOS devices.
With the upcoming launch of 'Deluxe Pack ex,' The Pokémon Company continues to set high standards for post-launch support and community engagement across all Pokémon platforms, including fan-favorite experiences on the Nintendo Switch and the eShop.
For digital collectors and competitive TCG fans alike, this latest expansion reinforces Pokémon TCG Pocket as a must-play entry in the ever-growing universe of Pokémon games.
