The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket has introduced dazzling new shiny variants, enriching the game with over 110 new cards. Dubbed "Shining Revelry," this expansion features cards from the Paldea region, sparking excitement among players. I couldn't resist spending my Pack Hourglasses on a 10-pack pull right after the update went live, and was thrilled to snag a Charizard EX, although the rest of the haul was less impressive. Pulling a Pokémon Center Lady was a small comfort, as her ability to heal Special Conditions will be a handy trick against pesky Burns.

Alongside the new cards, the update brings an Emblem event where you can earn stylish new badges to show off to your friends. The introduction of Ranked Matches is a significant addition, allowing you to battle other Trainers and climb from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Points earned will be displayed, and an emblem will be awarded at the end of the season, which lasts approximately one month. It's time to dust off my dueling skills and start crafting some serious decks.

If you're eager to dive into the action, you can download Pokémon TCG Pocket for free from the App Store or Google Play, with optional in-app purchases.
