Upcoming Updates and Events in Pokémon TCG Pocket
-
Pokémon TCG Pocket is gearing up for some exciting new additions and events. From trading and PVP battles to secret missions and exclusive events, there’s a lot to look forward to. Here’s a breakdown of everything we know for sure about what’s coming to the game.
Trading: A Future Feature Still in the Works
One of the most anticipated features coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket is the introduction of trading. While the exact release date and format are still under wraps, there are some educated guesses. Trading will likely involve the exchange of duplicate cards—possibly within certain rarities, such as Crown rares. This would mean players may not be able to swap their one-of-a-kind cards like Articuno EX for a Gengar EX, but they could trade similar high-rarity cards.
While there is no official information yet, this system could allow for more strategic card management, similar to grinding cards for flare. Expect more details once the feature rolls out.
Upcoming Events: PVP, PVE, and More
PVP Events
The first major event to look forward to is a PVP battle event, which kicks off on November 7th and runs through November 28th. This event allows players to compete for unique emblems, including rewards for achieving win streaks. Additionally, participants will earn Shine Dust for victories and pack hourglasses just for joining in. Although this event doesn’t represent the official ranked mode yet, it offers valuable incentives and a preview of what competitive play could look like.
PVE Lapras Event
The Lapras PVE event is expected to launch soon, offering players the chance to face off against a computer-controlled opponent using a Lapras deck. The event will increase in difficulty, with challenges leading to the potential to unlock the Lapras EX card. This card features a powerful attack, Bubble Drain, which will surely have an impact on gameplay. Players will want to strategize their moves to conquer these challenges and earn this exciting new card.
Themed Outbreak Events
From November 22nd through 28th, Pokémon TCG Pocket will host a Fire-type Mass Outbreak event. While the specific mechanics are still unclear, it’s expected that players will have a higher chance of drawing Fire-type cards during this time. Completing tasks like Wonder Picking and opening packs will reward players with Arcanine EX cards, shop tickets, and hourglasses. This is just one of many themed events that will likely become a staple of the game.
Another event tied to Black Friday, from November 22nd to December 2nd, promises discounted Poke Gold. Keep an eye on this for a chance to boost your in-game purchases at a lower cost. Also, from December 6th to 20th, a Bulbasaur and Magnemite event will bring additional challenges and rewards.
Secret Missions: Hidden Rewards for Collectors
Pokémon TCG Pocket also offers secret missions that reward players for completing specific card sets. For example, collecting a set of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle will unlock hourglasses, shop tickets, and an emblem ticket. Completing the full set of Kanto Gym Leaders in full art will reward players with a generous array of in-game items, including Wonder Picks and hourglasses.
Additionally, collectors will find missions tied to the legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres EX) and completing the Kanto Pokédex for the chance to unlock Mew. Another rewarding challenge involves gathering all four immersive cards—Charizard, Pikachu, Mewtwo, and Mew—unlocking even more exclusive bonuses.
Shop Updates and Customization
In addition to the ongoing events, Pokémon TCG Pocket is also updating its shop with new playmats and customization options. These updates will allow players to personalize their in-game experience further, making it even more enjoyable and immersive.
