More new cards are coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket via the Triumphant Light booster pack, The Pokémon Company announced Thursday during its Pokémon Day broadcast.
As is customary for big events, however, the news leaked a bit early — reportedly after an ad for the game showing the new content was pushed live ahead of the announcement. The Triumphant Light pack has a scope similar to the Mythical Island pack that was added in December 2024: a single pack with a bunch of new cards, rather than multiple booster packs like with the Space-Time Smackdown expansion.
Arceus is at the center of the Triumphant Light — and on the cover of the pack. The Arceus ex, Leafeon ex, Glaceon ex, and Garchomp ex cards seemingly headline the pack, surrounded by the likes of Magnemite, Golbat, and another version of Eevee. Some cards will feature new Link Abilities. The themed booster pack will be added to Pokémon TCG Pocket on Friday, Feb. 28.
Lastly, The Pokémon Company confirmed via a news release that ranked matches are coming to the game in March 2025 — something Pokémon TCG Pocket’s battlers have been eager for.
Pokémon TCG Pocket was released in October and has been a massive success. In December, The Pokémon Company said the game had been downloaded 60 million times. That number has increased since then, to the 100 million downloads across iOS and Android devices announced on Thursday. It has since well surpassed $200 million in revenue, according to analytics platform AppMagic. For Pokémon Day, players can log in to get a free booster pack that’s guaranteed to have a rare card.
Correction: A previous version of this story noted that Mega Evolutions were coming to Pokémon TCG Pocket. Mega Evolutions are coming to the physical card game. We’ve removed mention of them from this story.
