When Does Pokemon TCG Pocket Get New Card Expansion Sets?

Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, or Pokémon TCG Pocket, saw a global release on October 30, 2024. Since then, the game has already reportedly earned over $12m. It's safe to say that the game has been a hit with fans, bringing a whole new audience to the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

So far, players are opening up cards from three available booster packs from the Genetic Apex expansion set: Charizard, Mewtwo, and Pikachu. Each pack can have a different roster of possible cards to pull, meaning players will need to be tackling all three to fill out their Pokédex. While it'll take both free and Premium players a while to earn every card, some are already curious about future expansion packs coming to the game. 

Update November 11: We've updated this article with the latest news regarding the next expansion pack for Pokémon TCG Pocket.

When Does the Next Expansion Release for Pokémon TCG Pocket?

Recent leaks via CentroLeaks on X have suggested that the next booster pack could be arriving on or around December 16, 2024. Though there's little reported information on what this new booster pack will contain, it is expected to be something similar to the current Genetic Apex packs. The next expansion, A2, is set to arrive on January 29, 2025, according to the leaks.

So far, Pokémon TCG Pocket only has one expansion set: the Genetic Apex, which features 286 cards including 60 secret cards. At the time of writing, The Pokémon Company has yet to reveal when a new expansion will arrive in-game.

That said, the game does feature promotional sets, the first of which is called "PROMO-A." Cards in this set can be purchased from the in-game store for Shop Tickets or Premium Tickets. At various times throughout the promotion, more cards will be made available to earn. Between November 1 - 15, players can get their hands on Meowth and Chansey PROMO-A cards through Wonder Picks. Upcoming cards include, Onix, Haunter, Jigglypuff, Greninja, and more. Cards included in the PROMO-A set cannot be obtained through booster packs.

Pokémon TCG Pocket is available to download on iOS and Android devices, and is free-to-start with options to purchase a Premium Pass.
