Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, the recently launched mobile app, is already teasing exciting new content for players. The Pokémon Company has announced plans for a series of in-game events, with the first one potentially featuring two new promo cards:
1. Lapras EX: This card comes with a "Bubble Beam" attack that deals 80 damage and heals Lapras for 20 damage.
2. 'Wonder Pick' Meowth: While details are limited, this card appears to be tied to a new "Wonder Pick" event mechanic.
The official announcement states, "We plan to hold a series of events in #PokemonTCGPocket! Please stay tuned for more info! I'm pumped and hope you are too."
In addition to these upcoming events, the game is offering various rewards for completing missions during the launch week. Players can earn items by fulfilling certain objectives within the app.
It's worth noting that datamines have revealed plans for 24 promotional cards as part of the initial game release. Some of these cards are already available through the card shop or via the Premium Pass, which costs $9.99 per month and offers exclusive alternative art cards.
Looking ahead, there are indications that Pokémon TCG Pocket will introduce mini-sets in December to bridge the gap between larger set releases. These mini-sets are expected to help keep players engaged as they build their collections.
The introduction of new cards and events demonstrates the game's commitment to providing fresh content and maintaining player interest. As the Pokémon TCG Pocket community grows, these updates will likely play a crucial role in the game's long-term success and player retention.
