Get ready to dazzle with the latest update to Pokémon TCG Pocket! The Pokémon Company has just announced the inclusion of Shiny Pokémon with the exciting new expansion, Shining Revelry. This update promises to bring a sparkling new dimension to your digital card game experience.
When Are Shiny Pokémon Arriving in Pokémon TCG Pocket?
Mark your calendars for March 27th, 2025, when the Shining Revelry expansion launches. This expansion isn't just about Shiny Pokémon; it's bringing over 110 new cards to the game! Fans can look forward to pulling Shiny versions of iconic cards like Charizard ex, Lucario ex, and Pachirisu. The digital format will showcase these Shinies in a new way, with a shimmering effect when tilted. Additionally, starting April 1st, you can get your hands on a Shiny Charizard-themed display board and binder.
Alongside Shinies, characters from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, including Tatsugiri, Sprigatito, and Iono, are set to make their debut. From March 28th to April 27th, new ex Starter Deck missions will be available, offering you a chance to earn a deck ticket. This ticket can be exchanged for one of nine starter decks, adding even more excitement to the mix.
Shiny Pokémon have long been a cherished part of the Pokémon TCG, first appearing in the Neo Destiny set from the second generation. The Hidden Fates set later set the benchmark for modern Shiny cards with its expansive Shiny Vault.
