*Pokemon TCG Pocket* is poised to be the standout mobile game of 2024, and the excitement continues to build with the announcement of new packs and cards. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming release of the Mythical Island pack in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*.
When Does Mythical Island Release in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
The much-anticipated Mythical Island booster pack for *Pokemon TCG Pocket* is set to launch on December 17, at 1 a.m. Eastern Time. This coincides with the game's daily reset time, ensuring a fresh start for all players eager to dive into the new content.
Alongside the Mythical Island pack, the Genetic Apex set packs will also become available. Both packs are part of the A1 collection, but it remains uncertain whether you can use your accrued Pack Points to open the Mythical Island pack. Keep an eye out for further announcements regarding this.
Notable Cards in Mythical Island
The Mythical Island pack will introduce over 80 new cards, promising to shake up the meta game. Among these, Mew Ex stands out as a particularly exciting addition. While the base Mew card is already in the game as a secret mission reward, it's considered underwhelming in the current meta. Mew Ex, however, is poised to be a game-changer.
Here's a detailed look at some of the standout cards from the Mythical Island pack:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Mew Ex (Psychic) | 130 HP Psyshot (1 Psychic Energy): 20 damage. Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose 1 of your opponent’s Active Pokemon’s attacks and use it as this attack. |
| Aerodactyl Ex (Fighting) | 140 HP Primeval Law (Ability): Your opponent can’t play any Pokemon from their hand to evolve their Active Pokemon. Land Crush (1 Fighting, 1 Colorless Energy): 80 damage. |
| Marshadow (Fighting) | 80 HP Revenge (1 Fighting, 1 Colorless Energy): If any of your Pokemon were Knocked Out by damage from an attack during your opponent’s last turn, this attack does 60 more damage. 40+ damage. |
| Blue (Trainer) | During your opponent’s next turn, all of your Pokemon take -10 damage from attacks from your opponent’s Pokemon. |
| Leaf (Trainer) | During this turn, the Retreat Cost of your Active Pokemon is 2 less. |
