The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, Shining Revelry, has brought a dazzling array of over 110 new cards into the game, including shiny variants that are sure to excite collectors and players alike. With additions from the Paldea region, the excitement is palpable, and I found myself wishing for more Hourglasses to splurge on a 10-pack pull. Diving right into the update, I spent a good chunk of my Pack Hourglasses to open ten packs, and was thrilled to pull a Charizard EX, though the rest of the haul was less impressive.
One card that did catch my eye was the Pokémon Center Lady, which offers a valuable ability to heal Special Conditions. This can be a lifesaver when you're up against tricky status effects like Burn, adding a strategic layer to your deck-building.

Alongside the new cards, the update introduces an Emblem event, allowing you to earn stunning new badges to show off to your friends. Additionally, the much-anticipated Ranked Matches are on the horizon, challenging you to battle other Trainers and climb from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Your progress will be tracked through points, and at the end of each approximately month-long season, you'll be awarded an emblem, motivating you to sharpen your dueling skills and perfect your deck strategies.
If you're eager to dive into this exciting update, you can download Pokémon TCG Pocket for free on the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases available.
