Pokemon TCG Pocket Teases Major Changes Coming In the Anniversary Update

by

To mark its one-year anniversary, Pokemon TCG Pocket is getting a big update! Players will soon be able to trade cards with friends, and the Wonder Pick feature will be improved to make it easier to find the cards you need to finish your collection.

When *Pokemon TCG Pocket* launched on October 30, 2024, it quickly became popular, earning over $2.7 million on its first day and $200 million in its first month. Eleven expansions have been released so far, giving players new cards for collecting and battling. The newest expansion, Deluxe Pack EX, is proving to be a hit, but it works a bit differently than previous sets – all of which are still available. This set will only be around until October 30th, after which a new release will arrive, and the developers have announced it will feature Mega Evolution Pokemon.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Anniversary Update to Add Share Feature, Wonder Pick Improvements

The creators of *Pokemon TCG Pocket* have announced an update later this month with several improvements and new features, though the specific release date is still to come. A new Share feature will let players send one card – with a diamond rarity – to a friend each day. The Wonder Pick feature is also getting an update, making it more likely to offer cards from the newest expansion that players haven’t yet collected. Trading will be improved too, allowing players to trade cards from the latest booster packs and expanding the number of cards available for trade. These changes are designed to help fans more easily complete their collections, as some *Pokemon TCG Pocket* players have expressed concerns about how quickly new content is released.

Recent changes to the game likely stem from declining player numbers and revenue for *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. A recent report showed September revenue was just half of what it was in August. The game has lost about 60% of its iOS players, leaving many to question if it can recover. In January, *Pokemon TCG Pocket* had approximately 3.1 million iOS players, but that number dropped to just 1.1 million by September.

The world of Pokémon is buzzing with excitement! The new game, *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*, is coming out for Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2 on October 16th. This week also brought some leaks hinting at what’s next for the tenth generation of Pokémon, and even details about a possible remake that could include online multiplayer features.
