A datamine by a prominentPokémonleaks source has revealed some new details forPokémon TCG Pocket, including upcoming expansions, boosters, card types, and events. The mobileTCGgame has only been out since October 30 and it’s already amassed a huge following, with fans and newcomers alike getting to enjoy the dopamine boost of opening booster packs (without the associated cost). The app has also been pushing out content and special events frequently, keeping players engaged and excited about what’s to come.
The game launched with one set of cards titledGenetic Apex,consisting of three different booster packs, each with unique Pokémon that can only be found within them. Now, it seems that fans won’t have to wait too long before the Pokédex is expanded with brand new cards to chase.A whole lot of new content is coming in the next three months,according to a leak byCentroLeakson X, a reputable source that has also been sharing a massive data dump from thebiggestPokémonleakof all time.
According to CentroLeaks, a new booster pack from the Genetic Apex collection will be revealed on December 16.A brand-new expansion, likely featuring several new booster packs, is scheduled to be released on January 29.CentroLeaks stresses that this is only a datamine and that all information and dates are subject to change. As of right now, though, it looks like the new year will reveal a new set ofPokémoncards to collect.

New Pokémon TCG Pocket Events And Cards Are Great, But We Want Trading
More Updates Are Sure To Come Soon
One feature that’s conspicuously missing from the list of events and updates coming toTCGPis the option to trade. The section in the app that will one day be used for trading iscurrently tantalizingly labeled “Coming Soon"with no indication of when “soon” might arrive. For many fans, it’s not soon enough, as the comments on CentroLeaks' X post indicate. As X userfreezing_legendsays, “Trading update when?”
Trading would help players (like myself) who are struggling to get a hold of a few final cards in their collection but have an overabundance of other rare cards and no desire to destroy them for flair. The Gengar ex looks awesome, but I don’t need three of them, and being able to trade would be extremely useful. At the rate thatPokémon TCG Pocketis going, there’s no doubt that trading will be implemented fairly soon. Until then, there are plenty of other fun events and new cards to look forward to in November through January, and beyond.
