Find out what's in store in the next update to the most downloaded Pokémon game of the year... The Mega Ascension expansion is coming to the Pokémon TCG Pocket app on October 30, 2025, on iOS and Android. New features are also being introduced, including an option to share cards with friends. This content accompanies the first anniversary of The Pokémon Company's digital trading card game, which has announced that it has surpassed 150 million downloads since its global launch on October 30, 2024.
This update marks a turning point in the virtual collection with the introduction of Mega-Evolved Pokémon into the Pokémon TCG Pocket universe. Three Boosters are planned for this expansion, entitled Mega-Ascension: Mega-Leviator, Mega-Braségali, and Mega-Altaria, each highlighting a specific Mega-Evolution. A dedicated trailer is available on the official Pokémon YouTube channel to showcase this new content.
Starting October 30, 2025, a new sharing feature will allow users to give one card per day to their friends, provided that the card's rarity is between ♦ and ♦♦♦♦. This new feature facilitates trading and the creation of personal collections within a circle of users. Cards from theMega-Ascension expansion will also be included in this feature.
This feature is accompanied by an expansion of the exchange system. Cards with a rarity of ⭐︎⭐︎, Chromatic 1, and Chromatic 2, in addition to the cards already included, will soon be exchangeable, thus expanding the possibilities for card circulation within the application.
The miracle draw system, which allows you to obtain cards at random, has also been updated. From now on, cards from the most recent expansion that you have not yet acquired will appear more frequently, making it easier to target specific additions to your collection. The number of copies of each card you own will now be indicated for each card appearing in the miracle draw.
Furthermore, this update comes amid continued growth for Pokémon TCG Pocket, with high download figures confirming the app's widespread adoption since its launch.
In addition tothe Mega-Ascension expansion and the sharing and trading features, the October 30, 2025 update includes usability improvements to the app. The interface linked to the miracle draw now displays the number of copies of a card held, allowing for better management of your collection. The new mechanics implemented apply to both the most common and the rarest cards, including those from the latest Booster Packs.
