Wake up Poke-fans, a new expansion for Pokemon TCG Pocket has just been revealed! Titled “Shining Revelry”, it’s themed entirely around shiny Pokemon. Unlike the mainline games where your odds of getting one are 1/4096, there’ll be boatloads of shinies to collect starting March 27.
The trailer, which you can watch yourself below, is short but oh so sweet. In it we get a sneak peak of a few cards in typical Pokemon TCG Pocket fashion, including but not limited to a new black Charizard EX, a new Lucario EX, and even a Red trainer card.
While we do get a nice look at some cards and all the stats and abilities attached to them, much is left hidden away. This is normal, the folks who make the trailers for Pokemon Pocket expansions love teasing us just a little bit with these reveals, but what we do see appears to flesh out various deck types. Red, for example, boosts damage done to opponent EX Pokemon. A valuable card, especially at a time when Arceus EX is still dominating the meta.
In addition, the Shining Revelry expansion comes with a selection of new EX starter deck missions, which will be available one day later on March 28. These offer up a selection of new powerful cards mixed in with other new cards that compliment them. Shout out to Wugtrio EX. I’ve no idea if he’ll be good, but he’s a don Pokemon and I’ll be using him in the upcoming PvP events regardless of the meta. You’ve gotta ride or die by your faves, folks.
