Pokémon TCG Pocket Celestial Guardians Set Launches April 30 Featuring Alola Region Favorites

The Pokémon Company has officially announced the release date for the highly anticipated 'Celestial Guardians' set, coming to the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket mobile app.

Launching globally on April 30, 2024 (or April 29 for those in Pacific Time zones), this latest expansion brings the vibrant world of the Alola region from the classic Pokémon Sun and Moon titles to the palm of your hand—no matter where you play. Since its arrival for iOS and Android, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket (often referred to as Pokémon TCG Pocket) has worked to modernize the centuries-old thrill of card collecting and battling.

Developed under the watchful eye of The Pokémon Company, the app has seen steady content drops, each enriching the roster of cards and improving gameplay for a rapidly growing player base.

The introduction of Celestial Guardians is poised to be one of the year’s standout releases in mobile interactive card games. This new set shines a spotlight on beloved Alola region Pokémon.

At launch, players will be able to open packs centered on two legendary icons: Solgaleo and Lunala.

The expansion also introduces a swath of new ex cards, full-art designs, and unique interactive elements, staying true to TCG Pocket's spirit of innovation and accessibility. A recently released trailer previews the highlights of Celestial Guardians.

Fans can look forward to seeing Generation VII starters alongside ex cards featuring not only the celestial legendaries but also regional favorites like Raichu and Marowak.

Significantly, Celestial Guardians will debut the app’s very first interactive Supporter card, adding a strategic layer that longtime TCG enthusiasts will appreciate. Importantly, the Pokémon Company confirmed that existing content will remain available following the update.

All previous sets will be accessible, so users won't lose their hard-earned collections when the new batch rolls out.

Savvy trainers, however, may want to stock up on Pack Hourglasses—TGC Pocket’s in-game currency—to take full advantage of opening the new set as soon as the update lands. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket continues to represent the franchise’s ongoing commitment to accessible, innovative gaming experiences on mobile platforms.

By transporting the excitement of Pokémon TCG to iOS and Android, the Pokémon Company further cements its influence in both traditional and digital card gaming spheres. The Celestial Guardians expansion releases for Pokémon TCG Pocket on April 30, 2024, for all supported regions, with earlier access for users in Pacific time zones.
