Get ready to add some extra sparkle to your Pokémon TCG Pocket experience with the dazzling arrival of Shiny Pokémon! The Pokémon Company has just unveiled the Shining Revelry expansion, set to light up the digital card game with its debut on March 27th, 2025. This expansion isn't just about the glitz; it's bringing over 110 new cards to the table, including Shiny versions of fan favorites like Charizard ex, Lucario ex, and Pachirisu.
What's truly exciting is the new digital format that lets these Shiny cards shimmer when you tilt them. And starting April 1st, you can get your hands on a Shiny Charizard-themed display board and binder. But the excitement doesn't stop there; Pokémon and Trainers from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will also be joining the fray. Look out for cards featuring Tatsugiri, Sprigatito, and Iono.
From March 28th to April 27th, you can dive into new ex Starter Deck missions. Completing these missions offers a chance to earn a deck ticket, which you can exchange for one of nine starter decks. It's the perfect opportunity to catch a glimpse of the first batch of Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon TCG Pocket!
Shiny Pokémon have long been a cherished element of the Pokémon TCG, making their initial appearance in the Neo Destiny set from the second generation. The Hidden Fates set later became a benchmark for modern Shiny cards with its impressive Shiny Vault.
Ranked Matches Are Finally Coming!
The wait is over for competitive players as ranked matches are set to debut in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The first season will kick off on March 28th and run until April 27th, showcasing the new Shining Revelry cards. You'll be matched with players of similar skill levels, ensuring a fair and challenging competition. At the end of the season, you'll earn an emblem to proudly display on your profile, reflecting your final rank. If this sounds thrilling, don't hesitate to download the game from the Google Play Store.
