Pokémon TCG Pocket Release Date Set for October

The Pokémon Company announced today that Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket will be released on October 30, 2024 worldwide.

This new Pokémon TCG card collecting app got a new trailer along with the release date announcement at the closing ceremonies of the Pokémon World Championships in Hawaii. The new trailer showcased opening packs with the touch screen in different locations and gameplay features, like trading with other collectors.

The end of the trailer teased an “Immersive Card” that featured Mewtwo. These cards allow you to explore the digital art in a 3D space, giving you a much more in-depth look at the card art than we've ever seen before. Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket was announced earlier this year in February on Pokémon Day, and this is the first new trailer we've seen since.

So far, we know you can open two new booster packs for free each day in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Cards will include existing Pokémon TCG illustrations and new cards exclusive to the app. You'll be able to view your Pokémon card collection, trade, explore art in detail, and potentially even more that hasn't quite been explained yet.

You can preregister for Pokémon TCG Pocket now on the App Store and Google Play. If you’re in New Zealand, you can play early in the soft lauch–no word on when that is just yet!
