Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket first anniversary feature updates teased

by Kite Stenbuck on 14 October, 2025

The Pokemon Company has published a new post that teases new updates coming to Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket around its first anniversary. As a reminder, the mobile card game was released simultaneously worldwide last year on October 30.

One of the updates teased is a new Share feature where a generous player can gift any diamond-rated card to friends without expecting any returns. Other existing features like card trading and Wonder Pick will also be expanded further to cover even more cards.

In addition, the post also mentions that the previously teased Mega Evolution expansion pack will appear around the end of October. This could also mean that the new expansion will come right around the game's anniversary day.

Greetings from the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Team. 
Thanks to your incredible support, Pokémon TCG Pocket is preparing to celebrate its first anniversary in late October! We couldn’t have reached this milestone without you, and we’re grateful to every player who has joined us on this journey so far. 
In anticipation and celebration of the app’s first anniversary, we’re excited to share a sneak peek at some of the updates coming your way, which will be focused on improving accessibility for card collecting to create an even more enjoyable experience for Pokémon TCG Pocket players.         
With this focus in mind, there are three major updates coming soon: 

Implementation of the new share feature 

A feature that lets you give ♢–♢♢♢♢ rarity cards to friends. 

You can send one card to each of your friends each day. 

Once friends send you cards through the share feature, you can select and receive one card each day. 

Range of tradable cards expanded 

You will be able to trade cards from even the most recent booster packs. 

In addition to cards of ♢–♢♢♢♢ rarity and ⭐︎1 rarities, ⭐︎2 and Shiny 1–Shiny 2 rarity cards will also be eligible for trading. 

Improvements to the wonder pick feature 

Cards from the latest expansion that you have not obtained will appear more often. 

The number of cards you currently own will be displayed on each card in wonder pick. 

We’re working hard to bring these updates to you in the best possible way, and we appreciate your patience in the meantime. We encourage you to check the in-game news regularly for the latest updates.  
We also want to thank everyone who participated in our August 2025 player survey. Your feedback was invaluable in informing the changes in the upcoming updates. We’re continuing to listen to player feedback while developing and maintaining the game to help ensure it remains an enjoyable experience. 
One last bit of information: A new expansion featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon is also planned to kick off at the end of October. More details will be shared at a later date, and we hope you look forward to it!
