Are you a Pokemon trading card game fan? If so, you may be pleased to hear that a brand new Pokemon TCG experience has just been announced for Pokemon Day 2024.

Pokemon TCG Pocket looks like the ideal app for the more casual players and collectors in the community, and it’s got a whole host of interesting features. Here’s what you need to know about the release window speculation, key features like trading, and more.

What is Pokemon TCG Pocket?

Popping up in Pokemon Presents, Pokemon TCG Pocket is a collection-oriented TCG app with plenty of social features. It’ll allow players to store a digital collection of cards and even let them “open two packs per day at no cost”.

The cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket look particularly gorgeous, with vibrant designs that expand when tapped on. The act of opening packs looks immersive, too, so it should be great for collectors who enjoy ripping into boosters.

Pokemon TCG Pocket mechanics

Multiple Pokemon TCG Pocket features were shown during the Pokemon Presents 2024 Showcase, including the ability to trade with friends and take part in quick battles. Quick battles look like a much simpler version of the standard Pokemon TCG gameplay.

It’s important to note that the Showcase trailer mentioned that some features, like trading, may not be present in the app when it launches at first. At the moment, Pokemon TCG Pocket looks comparable to something like Marvel Snap, or Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links.

Pokemon TCG Pocket release date

The Pokemon Company revealed in the Pokemon Presents 2024 Showcase that Pokemon TCG Pocket is coming in 2024, but no further information was given. We’ll be sure to update this article once more information has been provided.
