Pokemon TCG Live is getting a major update on April 21, 2026. This update will significantly improve how players build decks, resolve important issues with choosing cards, and include other enhancements to the game.
The digital version of the popular Pokémon Trading Card Game has been attracting players with lots of freebies and improvements. To mark the launch of the Perfect Order set, The Pokémon Company distributed eight free decks in Pokémon TCG Live, including strong, competitive decks featuring Dragapult ex and Mega Lucario ex. Players have also received numerous codes for free card packs from the newest Pokémon TCG sets. Now, an April update is adding significant improvements to the overall gameplay experience in Pokémon TCG Live.
Version 1.37 Update for Pokemon TCG Live Releases on April 21
The latest update for Pokemon TCG Live (version 1.37.0) is coming on April 21st. This update includes significant improvements to the Deck Editor, making it easier to manage and import decks, and allowing players to use different versions of cards. The desktop version of the Deck Editor is getting a redesigned, full-screen view for better deck checking. Additionally, Pokemon TCG Live will now offer enhanced support for larger iOS and Android tablets, letting some devices run the full desktop version of the app.
The latest update for TCG Live includes fixes for several persistent bugs. A major issue that sometimes prevented players from choosing valid options when searching their deck—particularly when using cards like Ultra Ball—has been resolved. The update also addresses problems with specific cards: Mega Skarmory ex, which was incorrectly shuffling attached Tools back into the deck, and Naveen, which caused players with three cards in hand to lose all of them. Additionally, a small error in one of the starter decks—the Dragapult ex deck—has been corrected; it previously included four copies of Caretaker instead of Buddy-Buddy Poffin.
Recent updates to Pokemon TCG Live aim to make it the top choice for competitive players. The online game lets players try out cards from the newest Pokemon TCG sets before official tournaments, giving them a two-week head start. TCG Live also simplifies deck building and testing, and rewards players with card packs, points, and credits through its battle pass system.

Bug Fixes
Gameplay/Battle
- Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented valid cards from being selectable during a search action.
Cards
- Fixed an issue where Mega Skarmory ex’s (POR #055) Sonic Ripper attack shuffled all attached cards into the deck instead of shuffling only the attached Energy.
- Fixed an issue where letting the action timer run out while using Shaymin’s (POR #003) Send Flowers attack could cause a long delay and missing controls before the Energy was attached automatically.
- Fixed an issue where Decidueye ex’s (POR #012) Sniper’s Eye Ability would not be consistently applied to its attack costs if the opponent had used an attack from a Technical Machine on the previous turn.
- Fixed an issue where playing Naveen (POR #079) with exactly three other cards in hand could automatically discard those cards instead of letting the player choose what to discard.
- Fixed an issue where Kingdra’s (PAR #032) Whirltide attack could leave the player unable to continue their turn until the action timer ran out if no Energy cards were revealed.
- Fixed an issue where Turtonator’s (POR #017) Shell Spikes Ability would not consistently discard Energy from the Attacking Pokémon if that Energy was attached as part of the attack’s effect.
- Fixed an issue where Mimikyu’s (GRI #58) Copycat attack did not copy the Geobuster attack from the Pokémon Tool card Core Memory (POR #070) after an opponent’s Mega Zygarde ex (POR #047) used that attack on the previous turn.
General
- Fixed an issue where the new Dragapult ex starter deck incorrectly contained 4 Caretaker (TWM #144) instead of 4 Buddy-Buddy Poffin (TEF #144).
- This fix is not retroactive. Players who already claimed this deck can update their deck list manually using the Buddy-Buddy Poffin cards received as part of several other new starter decks introduced in Version 1.36.0.
- Fixed an issue where the game could get stuck loading the main menu, causing buttons and controls to stop responding.
- Fixed an issue where the Variant Drawer could fail to show all available variants after the player switches to another card in Big Card View.
- Various other fixes and polish.
