The upcoming Deluxe Pack ex expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, launching September 29, significantly improves the odds of acquiring rare cards. This limited-time set guarantees that every pack contains at least one card of ♦♦♦♦ rarity or higher, drawing from a pool of previous expansions like Genetic Apex and Wisdom of Sea and Sky. Players have just one month to obtain these packs before they are removed from the game on October 29.
A key feature of this expansion is the introduction of parallel foil cards, which feature a distinctive shine effect. The set also includes reimagined versions of older cards with brand new artwork. This approach offers collectors a fresh way to enjoy classic cards while chasing the guaranteed high-rarity pulls. A newly released trailer provides a first look at some of the stunning cards included in the Deluxe Pack ex collection.
This limited availability marks a departure from previous expansions, which remained accessible indefinitely. To coincide with the release window, Pokémon TCG Pocket will host several in-game events. These include a Raichu ex drop event and a special Bonus Week, giving players additional opportunities to bolster their collections during the Deluxe Pack ex period.
Since its debut last October, Pokémon TCG Pocket has maintained a steady cadence of monthly expansions. The August release, Secluded Springs, primarily featured Pokémon originating from the Gold and Silver game versions. Looking further ahead, the game is scheduled to introduce Mega Evolutions sometime this fall, although a specific release date has not yet been confirmed.
The mechanic of Mega Evolution is also set to be a central element in the next major series installment, Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 on October 16, the game will take place entirely within Lumiose City and promises a dramatically overhauled battle system.
