Pokémon TCG Pocket: Mythical Island Booster Pack Is Out Now

December 17, 2024 - The first new card pack for Pokémon TCG Pocket is out today, and it is a big one.

Boasting a collection of 86 new cards, the "Mythical Island" set features new powerful cards like Mew EX, Aerodactyl EX, and Vaporeon, plus alternate versions and immersive art for existing Pokémon.

Early impressions are good, with many of the newcomers already seeing heavy play. Mew Ex fits in perfectly with the already existing Mewtwo EX deck that has been making waves since the beginning of the game's life. I'm personally interested to see how the competitive meta shapes out around all of the new stuff we got.

There are, of course, ongoing events to run alongside the release of "Mythical Island," so now is a good time to jump into the game if you haven't already.

The first major expansion for the game isn't set to release until the end of January, so this is a good way to tide people over until then. Details on the expansion are sparse, but it has been confirmed that trading cards will be opened up when it drops (currently, the trading option is greyed out in the menus).
