Pokémon TCG Pocket Things seem to be going well for The Pokémon Company. and rumor The game netted more than $200 million in its first month, and now it’s official that the mobile app has been downloaded more than 60 million times since its launch on October 30. Also released at the same time are pocket The developer has revealed a pretty big surprise: there will be a new special Mew theme pack called “Mythic Island” in the game, which will be launched in the game on December 17th.
It’s widely expected that the new set will join (rather than replace, as the game’s hitherto redundant “Select Expansion” page) “Genetic Apex” by the end of January, as this will follow the three-month cycle of the real-world version of the TCG. But I don’t think anyone is expecting new “themed booster” sets before the end of the year. This is the name of Myth Island, which – I’m speculating here with vague information – appears to be a smaller “special suit” (it’s coded as “A1a”, the “A1” of the genetic apex), only Mew packaged Art, which will bring some good wrenches to the current meta.
pocket So far, only Genetic Apex, the unfortunately named collection (which everyone else considers a WolfensteinStyle enemy item, right? While collecting the entire set It will take you more than a year No need to pay outrageous amounts, it’s been around long enough that most people have a credit card now Build a deck that dominates the meta. In fact, if you attend Fun new badge activityyou’ll almost inevitably face a Mewtwo, Charizard, Blastoise, or Pikachu deck with little variation. So what the game really needs is a bunch of new cards to blow it all up.
In less than a week, the news from Myth Island was long live. The trailer flashed a bunch of new cards, including of course a Mew ex, which has a single energy 20 damage attack, but then has a ditto-like 3 energy (and 10 energy) ability. any Type, making it a powerful addition to any deck) is called Genome Hacker. This allows you to “select the attack of 1 of your opponent’s active Pokémon and use it as this attack.”
However, I think the real game changer will be an ex-Dinosaur with the ability to prevent your opponent from evolving their active Pokémon. Considering how much of the meta is based on moves like this, this should change everything! It’s best to get used to improving on the bench.
There’s also a brief look at the Vaporeon special art, with its new ability to transfer water energy between cards, as well as the gorgeous special arts of Dedenne and Marshadow.
There are also new trainers, including Blue, who will reduce all incoming damage by 10 points during a turn, and Leaf, who will really mess things up by reducing the retreat cost of your active Pokémon two. X Speed, step aside.
It’s hard to know if the scene is extremely small, with just two front cards and two new trainers, or if the trailer is very selective in what it shows – and it’s infuriating that these pocket The cards are not traditionally numbered to show the size of a set. Still, at least I know My Yuka Morii binder Will add at least one card and add it originally appeared in sun and moonForbidden Light is set in 2018.
I can’t wait to see how this forces everyone to change tactics on December 17th.
