Shiny Pokémon Coming Soon to Pokémon TCG Pocket!

Shiny Pokémon are about to make their dazzling debut in Pokémon TCG Pocket with a major update that’s set to elevate your digital card collecting experience. The Pokémon Company has officially announced the arrival of Shiny Pokémon through the Shining Revelry expansion, bringing a touch of sparkle and excitement to the game.

When Are Shiny Pokémon Arriving in Pokémon TCG Pocket?

Mark your calendars—March 27th, 2025 is the official release date for the Shining Revelry expansion. This highly anticipated update introduces over 110 brand-new cards, including stunning Shiny versions of popular Pokémon like Charizard ex, Lucario ex, and Pachirisu.

What makes these Shiny cards even more special? They feature a dynamic visual effect—they shimmer when you tilt them! Plus, starting from April 1st, players can collect a Shiny Charizard-themed display board and binder to showcase their prized cards in style.

In addition to the shiny newcomers, fan-favorite Pokémon and Trainers from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are joining the roster. Look out for cards featuring Tatsugiri, Sprigatito, and Iono, adding fresh energy to your deck.

For those looking to build their collection, new ex Starter Deck missions will be available from March 28th to April 27th. Completing these missions rewards you with a deck ticket, which can be exchanged for one of nine powerful starter decks. Get ready to see the first wave of Shiny Pokémon in action!

Shiny Pokémon have been part of the Pokémon TCG universe since the Neo Destiny set in Generation II. However, it was the Hidden Fates set that truly brought Shiny cards into the modern spotlight with its iconic Shiny Vault series.

That’s right—competitive players, get ready! Ranked Matches are launching on March 28th, 2025, and will run through April 27th, featuring cards from the Shining Revelry set. You’ll be matched against opponents of similar skill levels, making every match a true test of strategy and deck-building prowess.
