In a report from Sensor Tower, Pokemon TCG Pocket ended up being the most downloaded mobile game in the Japanese market in the second half of 2024. Given the popularity of the Pokemon series, this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but it did generate a large source of revenue for The Pokemon Company as a result. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

More specifically, outside of being the most downloaded mobile game in the second half of 2024, Pokemon TCG Pocket topped the rankings for overall revenue growth. The mobile card game released worldwide on October 30, 2024. While it features a simplified version of the card game’s more robust systems, players can also collect cards and show them off via their in-game profiles. As a result, making it appealing to both the card game player and the collector.

According to a report from GamesIndustry.bz, Pokemon TCG Pocket earned over $120 million in revenue not even a month after release. Within the first four days of release it had already made roughly $4 million.

Since the release of the mobile game, there has been a steady trickle of new booster packs (and more importantly, cards) to collect. And upcoming booster pack titled Space-Time Smackdown will include starter Pokemon from the Sinnoh region such as Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available for free on Android and iOS devices.
