Pokémon TCG Pocket’s First Expansion: Mythical Island
Pokémon TCG Pocket fans have something special to look forward to this December with the launch of the Mythical Island expansion. As the first major expansion for the game since its October 30 release, it promises to introduce a variety of exciting cards and features to enhance the experience.
The announcement came alongside a remarkable milestone—over 60 million downloads of Pokémon TCG Pocket worldwide. This success paves the way for an even larger player base to explore the Mythical Island Booster Pack.
Mythical Island Expansion: Release Date and How It Works
The Mythical Island collection will officially debut on Tuesday, December 17, 2024.
As the game’s first expansion, players are eager to see how the system will accommodate new sets. While specifics are yet to be fully revealed, it is anticipated that players will be able to choose their desired set before opening packs, seamlessly switching between base packs and Mythical Island packs.
Unlike other games that introduce separate in-game currencies for expansions, Pokémon TCG Pocket maintains its straightforward countdown system. Once the current timer concludes, players can select the Mythical Island set and enjoy its unique offerings.
Key Cards and Features of the Mythical Island Set
Mythical Island is slightly smaller than the base set, Genetic Apex, but offers some standout cards that players won’t want to miss.
Highlighted Cards in Mythical Island:
- Mew ex: A fan-favorite Pokémon, Mew returns with a new ex card. Previously, acquiring Mew required completing the entire Kanto Pokémon collection, which awarded an Immersive Art version of Mew ex.
- Aerodactyl ex: Another ex card that’s sure to excite fans of fossil Pokémon.
- Full Art Cards: Expect stunning designs for Pokémon like Vaporeon, Dedenne, and Marshadow.
- Standard Cards: Pokémon such as Morelull, Dhelmise, and Snivy are confirmed to appear.
Artwork previews also hint at appearances from Liepard and Volcarona, expanding the lineup with even more fan-favorite Pokémon.
