Shiny Pokémon Coming Soon to Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket with New Shining Revelry Themed Booster Pack

Today, The Pokémon Company group announced the debut of Shiny Pokémon in the globally popular Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket app (Pokémon TCG Pocket), along with a new themed booster pack titled Shining Revelry launching March 27, 2025. In addition, players can look forward to the first season of ranked matches coming soon, bringing with them a new way to battle in the app.

New Shining Revelry Themed Booster Pack — The new Shining Revelry themed booster pack allows players to discover a variety of Shiny Pokémon cards—featuring fan-favourites such as Charizard ex, Lucario ex, and Pachirisu—by opening digital booster packs and using the wonder pick feature. Shiny Pokémon cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket sparkle beautifully when tilted, offering an exciting new way to view the cards in a digital format. In addition, from April 1, players will also be able to obtain a stunning Shiny Charizard–themed display board and binder to show off their favourite cards.

Beyond Shiny Pokémon, Shining Revelry will also introduce Pokémon and Trainers from the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, including charming illustrations for Tatsugiri, Sprigatito, and Iono.

To celebrate the launch of Shining Revelry, players can participate in new ex Starter Deck missions from Friday, March 28, 2025, at 06:00 a.m. UTC to Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 05:59 a.m. UTC. Players can complete in-game missions to receive a deck ticket that can be exchanged for one of nine starter decks. Once a starter deck is chosen, the 20 cards included in it will be added to the player’s card collection.

Ranked Matches — Ranked matches will soon be launching in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The first season will feature Shining Revelry and be available from March 28, 2025, at 06:00 a.m. UTC to April 27, 2025, at 05:59 a.m. UTC.
