Shining Revelry Expansion Launches for Pokemon TCG Pocket, Ranked Matches Teased

The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket has arrived, bringing with it the dazzling world of Shining Revelry. Over 110 new cards have been added, featuring shiny variants that are sure to excite collectors and players alike. The expansion includes cards from the Paldea region, adding a fresh layer of excitement to your deck-building adventures. If you're like me, you're probably itching to spend your Pack Hourglasses on a 10-pack pull, hoping to snag some of those shiny gems.

I couldn't wait to dive into the new content and spent a good chunk of my Hourglasses right away. My luck? I pulled a Charizard EX, which is awesome, but the rest of the haul was pretty underwhelming. However, snagging a Pokémon Center Lady card was a small consolation. Her ability to heal Special Conditions could be a lifesaver when dealing with pesky status effects like Burn.

As with previous updates, Shining Revelry introduces a new Emblem event, giving players the chance to earn stylish badges to show off to friends. But the real excitement comes with the introduction of Ranked Matches. Get ready to test your skills against other Trainers as you climb from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Points will be displayed, and at the end of the season—roughly one month—an emblem will be awarded based on your performance. Time to dust off those dueling skills and start crafting some competitive decks!

If you're eager to jump into the action, you can download Pokémon TCG Pocket for free on the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases available.
