Get ready, Trainers! The world of Pokémon TCG Pocket is about to get a whole lot hotter with the arrival of the Crimson Blaze themed booster pack! This exciting update is set to launch globally on December 17, 2025, bringing a fiery new dimension to the popular mobile app. But that's not all – this announcement comes on the heels of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket being crowned the iPhone Game of the Year in the 2025 App Store Awards! Talk about a winning combination!
This isn't just any new pack; Crimson Blaze introduces some seriously powerful Mega-Evolved Pokémon into the mix. Prepare to see the likes of Mega Charizard Y, alongside Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise, all as Mega Evolution Pokémon ex! Imagine the strategic possibilities and the sheer thrill of adding these titans to your deck. But here's where it gets exciting: the new cards will feature research lab–themed illustrations, offering a fresh visual experience. Players can obtain these coveted cards through the traditional pack-opening method and the unique wonder pick feature within the app.
