The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, titled "Shining Revelry," has introduced dazzling new shiny variants, adding over 110 cards to the collection. This exciting update features cards from the Paldea region, intensifying the thrill of collecting. As an avid player, I couldn't resist using my Pack Hourglasses to open ten packs right away. My luck? I pulled a Charizard EX, which was a highlight, though the rest of the haul was less impressive. However, finding a Pokémon Center Lady card in the mix was a small victory, as her ability to heal Special Conditions can be a game-changer, especially when facing debilitating effects like Burn.
With the release of this expansion, players can look forward to an Emblem event, offering new badges to show off to friends. But the real excitement comes with the introduction of Ranked Matches, where you'll battle against other Trainers, climbing from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Your performance will be tracked with points, culminating in an emblem awarded at the end of the season, which lasts approximately one month. This feature is pushing me to dust off my dueling skills and seriously start building competitive decks.
If you're eager to dive into this vibrant world of card battles and shiny new cards, you can download Pokémon TCG Pocket for free on the App Store and Google Play, though it does feature in-app purchases.
