The Pokémon franchise continues to captivate fans with the arrival of a new mini-set in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Entitled Lumière Triomphale, this expansion will be launched on February 28, 2025, at the same time as the app update. This smaller set, centered on the mythical Arceus, is a tribute to the God of Pokémon. Following on from the previous expansion, L'île Fabuleuse, dedicated to Mew and Celebi, Lumière Triomphale should captivate collectors with new rare monsters, including Arceus Ex, Tyranocif, Blizzaroi, Motisma, Raichu and Nostenfer.
In addition to trading cards, Pokémon TCG Pocket players will be treated to a themed booster featuring Arceus, available from tomorrow, February 28. In addition to this new expansion, the update will also feature extra missions and gifts for players looking to maximize their experience. A ranking system is in the works, and ranked battles should be available by the end of March 2025. Fans are expecting this new feature to enrich the competitive aspect of the game. And by the end of the year, Mega Evolution will also be introduced to the game.
However, expectations are also high for improvements to the trading mechanic, which was criticized at launch. Although deemed too restrictive and costly by some, this feature has not prevented the game's commercial success. Pokemon TCG Pocket grossed over $10 million when the Space-Temporal Shock expansion was released, and in just three months, the game generated over half a billion dollars in sales. Positive feedback from players could further boost the popularity of this mobile game.
With this new expansion, Pokémon TCG Pocket continues to maintain its popularity among collectors and regular players, while introducing adjustments to maintain interest in the game.
