The Pokémon Company International has announced that Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket will add the new Fantastical Parade expansion next week.
From Thursday 29 January, players can elevate their collecting and battling experience by opening booster packs that feature Mega Gardevoir, with the expansion’s cards to have colourful festival-themed illustrations.
The expansion will add new Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards, the Legendary Pokémon Ogerpon will debut as Teal Mask Ogerpon ex, and Stadiums will be introduced as a new subtype of Trainer cards, promising to shake up the in-play zone during battles.
Further to the expansion, in-app updates and upcoming events have been outlined:
