Next Pokemon TCG Pocket Set Leak: Gen 4 Focus and Release Date Revealed!

by

Summary

  • The third Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion will reportedly focus on Generation 4 mons.
  • The as-of-yet-untitled card set is rumored to debut on January 30.
  • The expansion will supposedly feature two booster packs, suggesting it could include around 170 cards in total.

The leak indicates that the next expansion for the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket will center around Generation 4, as reported by a reliable source. This information was part of a larger disclosure that also hinted at potential details regarding the upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion, such as its rumored release date.

Globally, DeNA’s modern take on the Pokémon Trading Card Game was unveiled on October 30. The initial rollout featured a single expansion, Genetic Apex, encompassing approximately 286 cards predominantly from the first generation. On December 17, an additional set, Mythical Island, with 86 cards, was introduced within Pokémon TCG Pocket. This expansion showcased a significant number of first-generation Pokémons, but also marked the introduction of Pokémons from generations 2 and 4 for the first time in the game.

Instead of focusing on various generations, the upcoming third set for Pokemon TCG Pocket will primarily feature characters and themes from Generation 4. This information was shared by a reliable leaker known as Pyoro or eb576dcfe in a tweet dated January 22nd (via TheGamer). In another post, Pyoro mentioned that the new expansion is expected to launch on January 30th. Previous reports about the release schedule for Pokemon TCG Pocket suggested that the third card set might debut on January 29th instead. It’s plausible that both dates are correct, with the slight difference being due to different sources referencing different time zones.

Pokemon TCG Pocket’s Third Expansion Will Reportedly Have 2 Different Booster Packs

Pyoro further stated that the third update will encompass two distinct booster packs, each showcasing Legendaries Dialga and Palkia from Generation 4. For your understanding, the previous expansions – Mythical Island and Genetic Apex – had one Mew pack and three with Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo respectively. Based on this information, it seems that the third expansion could potentially include approximately 170 cards. This card count would be sufficient to create a card for every Generation 4 Pokemon; however, it’s yet to be determined if DeNA will indeed cover the entire Sinnoh Pokedex in the upcoming update.

As a dedicated Nintendo fan, I can’t help but share my admiration for Pyoro, who’s known for breaking some exclusive Nintendo Direct news. Most recently, Pyoro even unveiled details about the trading restrictions in the upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket, before DeNA officially announced them. Now, it’s essential to remember that all unofficial info should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, when it comes to this specific leak, Pyoro has shown a remarkable track record, making their claims quite credible.

Regarding the topic of trading within the game, the long-anticipated feature has yet to make its appearance, but DeNa has assured us that it will go live before the end of January 2025. This means there’s a good chance that trading could be introduced into Pokemon TCG Pocket together with the game’s third card set release.
