The Pokemon Company International announced the upcoming launch of Mythical Island, a new expansion for Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket with new cards. This debut expansion will introduce over 80 cards when it launches on December 17, 2024.
Players will be able to open Mythical Island booster packs to collect cards such as Mew EX, Celebi EX, and five new Trainer cards, which will undoubtedly shake up the meta. Alongside fresh cards, the Mythical Island expansion also includes binders and board covers inspired by the titular island and its featured Pokémon.
Additionally, Mythical Island will release alongside new Solo Battles in Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket. This will provide us with new challenges and the opportunity to earn more Hourglasses, Shinedust, and Shop Tickets.
