Pokemon TCG Pocket launches Shining Revelry expansion and teases Ranked Matches

Shiny variants have officially made their debut in *Pokémon TCG Pocket* with the latest expansion, bringing over 110 new cards into the game and making every 10-pack pull feel even more exciting. As the name suggests, the *Shining Revelry* update introduces a dazzling array of shimmering Pokémon cards, alongside fresh additions from the Paldea region, offering players more variety and strategy options than ever before.

As soon as the update dropped, I dove right in—spending a generous chunk of my hard-earned Pack Hourglasses on ten brand-new packs. While I was thrilled to pull a Charizard EX, the rest of my haul left a little to be desired. Still, I did manage to snag the ever-helpful Pokémon Center Lady, who brings a valuable ability to the table by healing Special Conditions—especially useful when you're caught in the middle of a Burn or Paralysis nightmare.

In classic *Pokémon TCG Pocket* fashion, this expansion also ushers in a new Emblem event, giving players another layer of progression and bragging rights. This time around, the spotlight is on the upcoming Ranked Matches mode, where Trainers will compete head-to-head to climb the ranks—from the humble Beginner Ball all the way up to the elite Master Ball tier. At the end of each season (which lasts about a month), your performance will be rewarded with a unique emblem, letting everyone know just how skilled you’ve become.

This means it’s time for me to brush off the cobwebs, revisit my old decks, and start strategizing for some serious duels ahead. If you're ready to jump into the action too, *Pokémon TCG Pocket* is available now for free on both the App Store and Google Play, featuring optional in-app purchases to enhance your experience.
