Pokemon TCG Pocket Unveils Shining Revelry, Hints at Ranked Matches

The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket has brought the excitement of shiny variants to the game, introducing over 110 new cards to collect. Named "Shining Revelry," this expansion dazzles with new cards from the Paldea region, sparking a fresh wave of enthusiasm among players. As soon as the update dropped, I couldn't resist using my Pack Hourglasses to open ten packs, and to my delight, I pulled a Charizard EX, though the rest of my haul was less impressive. The highlight was definitely pulling a Pokémon Center Lady, whose ability to heal Special Conditions like Burn will be a crucial asset in my deck.

Along with the new cards, the update introduces an Emblem event, giving players a chance to earn stylish new badges. But the real thrill comes with the upcoming Ranked Matches, where you'll compete against other Trainers, climbing from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Your performance will be tracked through points, and at the end of the season—roughly one month—you'll receive an emblem based on your achievements. It's time to dust off those dueling skills and start strategizing my deck builds for the competitive scene.

If you're eager to dive into the action, you can download Pokémon TCG Pocket for free on the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases available.
