The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket app is celebrating its first year, and a new set called Mega Rising is coming soon! Here are the details on when it will be released.
Pokémon TCG Pocket has consistently released new card sets since its launch, but the ‘Mega Rising’ set is particularly exciting. It introduces Mega Evolution, a new gameplay feature that adds another layer of strategy to creating effective decks.
Pokémon TCG Pocket B1 Mega Rising Release Date

I’m so excited! The trailer just confirmed that the new TCG Pocket set, B1 Mega Rising, is coming out on Thursday, October 30th! I’ve been waiting for this release for ages.
This new Pokémon card set kicks off the second year of the ‘Pocket’ format, beginning with the ‘B’ sets. It’s currently unknown how these new cards will change the game or if there will be any rules limiting which cards can be used.
You can still get Pack Hourglasses before the set officially comes out, so it’s a good idea to do so if you have the chance.
Pokémon TCG Pocket B1 Mega Rising Start Times
The B1 Mega Rising set will launch in the game at 11 PM Pacific Time on October 29th, and will be available worldwide on October 30th.
The table below shows the exact release time and date for major time zones across the world.

Pokémon TCG Pocket B1 Mega Rising Confirmed Cards List
The new Pokémon TCG: Pocket set, called Mega Rising, features the return of Mega Evolution Pokémon. This comes after Mega Evolutions were reintroduced in the recent Pokémon Legends: Z-A game and are now making their way back into the physical trading card game.
Serebii has revealed the complete card list for the upcoming set, which includes Mega Pinsir, Mega Blaziken, Mega Gyarados, and Mega Altaria. The set will contain a total of 331 cards, including 226 standard cards and 105 rare Secret Rares.
