According to a recent Tweet from the game’s official account, this exciting new expansion goes by the name Mythical Island and it’s set to hit the shelves on Tuesday, December 17. “I had to pull a lot of strings to get this scoop to you. Actually, I just asked really nicely and maybe shed a tear or two,” shared the TCG Pocket social media manager.
Now, if you check out the trailer below, it reveals a slew of new cards ready for you to collect. Among the new ex cards are Mew, Aerodactyl, and Celebi, which should add some thrill to your collection if you’re drowning in Doduos. Whether you call them Doduos or Dodui, the chances to diversify your deck are about to get a whole lot better with the Mythical Island booster pack.
The trailer goes on to boast that the Mythical Island expansion comes with over 80 new cards. This includes five exciting new Pokémon ex cards, alongside five innovative Trainer cards. Not to mention, the beautifully designed cards that transport you straight into the enchanting universe of Pokémon.
But that’s not all! There are also new binder and display board covers featuring the stunning Mythical Island scenery. Perfect for sending your Pokémon off on an imaginary vacation—or more on point, letting them daydream about it. In the quirky world of Pokémon’s imaginative zookeeping, it’s best not to ponder the ethical nuances for too long.

It’s a topic of debate, but considering that TCG Pocket has now surpassed 60 million downloads, as announced by The Pokémon Company, it’s clear people love it.
