Enthusiasts of Pokémon TCG Pocket can anticipate broadening their digital assortments with the newly announced Deluxe Pack ex expansion. Revealed on the official Pokémon site, the Deluxe Pack ex is not a completely new card collection, but a randomized assortment from previous expansions—ranging from the Genetic Apex line to the ongoing Wisdom of Sea and Sky—with every pack assured to include one card of four-diamond rarity or greater.

Moreover, packs may offer new “parallel foil” cards that introduce a distinctive shine effect to earlier lower-rarity cards, in addition to previously issued cards featuring entirely new artwork. It is crucial to emphasize that this expansion will be time-limited, operating from September 29th, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. EST until October 29th, 2025, at 1:59 p.m. EST. The trailer does indicate that the expansion will be accessible once more in the future.

The release won’t be restricted solely to past expansions. A new Raichu ex event will debut alongside the fresh Booster Packs—though the timing is yet to be announced. Players can anticipate a Raichu ex drop event showcasing a new promo card, a Bonus Week event, and a wonder pick event featuring accessories that highlight Kanto classics, among other surprises!

Recently, DeNA mentioned in an investor meeting that they were investigating novel methods of “enhancing the collection experience” and ensuring player retention, which appears to be the initial approach to this. This aligns with a significant overhaul of the game’s trading system, which has swapped out the widely criticized trade currency for the game’s considerably less valuable Stardust. Nevertheless, the consistent release of new expansions and improvements to the battle system’s easily exploitable Meta have contributed to making the game significantly more user-friendly since its launch.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is accessible on Android and iOS devices.
