Pokemon TCG Pocket launches Shining Revelry expansion and teases Ranked Matches

The excitement in the world of Pokémon TCG Pocket has reached new heights with the latest expansion, Shining Revelry. This dazzling update introduces over 110 new cards, including shiny variants that are sure to catch every trainer's eye. With additions from the Paldea region, the card pool has never been more diverse and thrilling.

As soon as the update dropped, I couldn't resist diving in and spent a handful of my Pack Hourglasses on a 10-pack pull. To my delight, I pulled a Charizard EX, though the rest of the haul was less impressive. However, snagging a Pokémon Center Lady card was a small victory—she's invaluable for healing Special Conditions like Burn, which can be a game-changer in intense matches.

Alongside the new cards, the update brings the much-anticipated Ranked Matches. Prepare to test your skills against other Trainers as you advance from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Points earned in these matches will be displayed, and at the end of each roughly one-month season, you'll be awarded a prestigious emblem. It's time to dust off those dueling skills and start crafting competitive decks.

For those eager to jump into the action, Pokémon TCG Pocket is available on the App Store and Google Play. It's free-to-play, with optional in-app purchases to enhance your experience.
