The Pokémon TCG Pocket release date has arrived. The app focuses on card-collecting, opening new packs, and trading with others to complete your sets. Pocket is made by Creatures Inc. of the Pokémon TCG and DeNA Co., which works on Pokémon Masters EX.
If you want to stay in the know, here’s everything we know about a new Pokémon game. You can also see what the strongest Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet are here if you need a hand beating the top trainers.
When was the Pokémon TCG Pocket release date?
Pokémon TCG Pocket launched on October 30, 2024. You can pick it up from the App Store and Google Play.
What is Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket?
The February 2024 Pokémon Presents announced the mobile app purely for collecting Pokémon TCG cards. Opening new packs of cards is what it’s all about. You can swipe across the top of a pack to open it, tap each card to comb through the pack, and flick a card across the screen to trade it with other players.
We do have Pokémon TCG Live already – the less said about that, the better – but Pocket focuses more on collecting cards than playing games. Pocket has a quick battle system with fewer rules than the main TCG, so you can still try your cards against other players if you want.
Every day, you can open two booster packs for free, and we’re sure you can purchase plenty more if you like. These packs feature cards from series across the years, including the now very relevant X and Y and Sun and Moon sets, along with exclusive cards for the app that you won’t find anywhere else.
Perhaps the most impressive feature is that certain cards allow you to zoom in for an immersive experience, offering a stunning look at the card – the trailer demonstrates this feature nicely by showing off a card that depicts Ponyta in a forest.
