Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket: 'Secluded Springs' Expansion Hits August 28, Featuring Johto Legends

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket continues its rapid rollout of new content, as The Pokémon Company (TPC) officially announced the upcoming release of its next themed booster expansion, 'Secluded Springs.' Launching August 28, 2024, the expansion will be available for Pokémon TCG Pocket players on both Nintendo Switch and mobile platforms.

This set centers on the beloved Johto legendary trio—Raikou, Entei, and Suicune—further celebrating Generation II’s enduring popularity. Following a consistent pattern of regular content updates, this marks another significant milestone for Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.

'Secluded Springs' not only brings back fan-favorite Johto Pokémon but also features appearances from several Hoenn region Pokémon.

The newly released teaser trailer provides a first look at eye-catching full-art cards, including beautiful depictions of Milotic and the ever-popular Phanpy.

These full-art designs continue the game’s tradition of vibrant and collectible card art, enhancing the digital trading card experience for both competitive and casual players. This expansion builds on the momentum of recent sets.

Just weeks after the debut of the 'Ho-Oh and Lugia: Wisdom of Sea and Sky' booster, the community is still reflecting on a brief controversy: earlier in August, The Pokémon Company issued a public apology and acted quickly to replace two legendary full-art card illustrations that faced plagiarism allegations upon release.

In their statement, TPC conveyed their sincere regret, promptly removing the contested artwork and introducing replacement designs within a week.

This swift response underscored the company’s ongoing commitment to integrity and player trust in their expanding digital TCG ecosystem. Looking forward, The Pokémon Company continues to stoke excitement among players.

At the conclusion of the 2024 Pokémon World Championships, TPC offered a glimpse of major upcoming features for Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, including the much-anticipated addition of Mega Evolutions, scheduled to arrive in the app later this fall.

This move signals TPC’s ongoing support and innovation within the digital card game sector, as it strives to engage both new fans and long-standing Pokémon TCG enthusiasts. With 'Secluded Springs' set to launch on August 28, fans can anticipate fresh gameplay strategies centered on Johto legends, stunning new artwork, and a revitalized experience on both Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.

The ongoing cadence of high-quality expansions reaffirms Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket’s standing as a premier digital card game, and the commitment from The Pokémon Company to deliver content that resonates with the global Pokémon community.
