"Shining Revelry Expansion Coming Soon to Pokemon TCG Pocket"

My interest in Pokemon TCG Pocket tends to ebb and flow. I dive back in with enthusiasm whenever a new set is released and stay engaged while there are Emblems to earn by securing around 40 wins. Once that's done, my routine shifts to logging in daily, opening my packs, and enjoying a Wonder Pick for fun before moving on. This cycle will kick off again with the launch of the latest expansion, Shining Revelry, set to arrive on March 27th.

This expansion will enrich Pokemon TCG Pocket with 110 new cards, featuring a variety of new Ex Pokemon, Trainers, and those stunning art cards that fans adore. The highlight of Shining Revelry is undoubtedly the inclusion of Shiny Pokemon. For those new to the concept, Shiny Pokemon are unique color variants of your favorite creatures. Imagine a yellow Lucario instead of blue, or a Pachirisu with a striking pink stripe.

The trailer, which you can watch below, teases what's to come. A standout is the new Shiny Charizard Ex, boasting 180 HP and an attack called Steam Artillery that delivers a massive 150 damage. However, this powerful move requires five energy cards, which is quite the commitment. Thankfully, its other move, Stoke, lets you attach three Fire Energy in one go, easing the energy burden.

Another exciting addition is the new Ex version of Lucario. Previously a supportive player in the Space-Time Smackdown expansion, this iteration of the Aura Pokemon is ready for frontline combat. With 150 HP and the Aura Sphere attack, which hits for 100 damage with three Fighting Energy and also deals 30 damage to one of your opponent's Benched Pokemon, Lucario is set to make an impact.

The trailer also showcases other cards that might not be game-changers but are visually appealing nonetheless. Shiny versions of Wiglett, Pachirisu, and Varoom are on the way, and they look fantastic. Additionally, there's a beautifully designed Tatsugiri art rare that I'm eager to add to my digital collection.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available for free on both the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases available. If you're interested, you can download it for your preferred platform using the links below.
