Pokémon Trading Card Game Pockethas had its fair share of ups and down since its launch in 2024. The card-collecting game’s monthly updates were hot-and-miss early in its life, oscillating between game-changing booster packs and total filler like the dreaded Deluxe Pack ex. It has been on a hot streak in 2026, though, thanks to a steady stream of exciting packs that have introduced Mega Shinies, Paradox monsters, and Stadium cards to the mix. That, plus some overdue quality-of-life improvements, have kept me playing Pokémon TCG Pocket every day.
