"Pokemon TCG Pocket Unveils Shining Revelry Expansion This Month"

The excitement for Pokemon TCG Pocket tends to ebb and flow for me. I dive in headfirst with each new set and stay engaged as long as there are Emblems to earn from around 40 wins. After that, my routine shifts to logging in, opening packs, and doing a Wonder Pick for fun before moving on until the next day. This cycle is set to kick off again with the upcoming expansion, Shining Revelry, launching on March 27th.

Shining Revelry will enrich TCG Pocket with 110 new cards, including a variety of new Ex Pokemon, Trainers, and the stunning art cards we all adore. The highlight, hinted at by the expansion's name, is the inclusion of Shiny Pokemon. These are unique, differently colored versions of our beloved creatures. For instance, you'll see Lucario in a striking yellow instead of its usual blue, and Pachirisu with an eye-catching pink stripe.

The trailer offers just a glimpse of what's to come, but it's worth exploring. A standout is the new Shiny Charizard Ex, boasting 180 HP and a powerful attack called Steam Artillery, which delivers 150 damage but at the cost of five energy. Thankfully, its other move, Stoke, lets you attach three Fire Energy cards at once, easing the setup.

Lucario, previously a support player in the Space-Time Smackdown expansion, steps up as a frontline fighter in this set. With 150 HP, it might not seem formidable, but its Aura Sphere attack packs a punch, dealing 100 damage for three Fighting Energy and also hitting a Benched Pokemon for 30.

The trailer also showcases other cards that might not be game-changers but are certainly noteworthy. Shiny versions of Wiglett, Pachirisu, and Varoom are making their debut, each looking fantastic. Plus, there's a gorgeous Tatsugiri art rare that I'm eager to add to my digital collection.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available for free on the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases available. If you're interested, you can easily download it for your preferred platform using the links provided.
