Pokémon TCG Pocket has only been around a few months, but it’s already supplied hundreds of cards to hunt from booster packs and Pokémon TCG Pocket events. And, not content to rest on its laurels, the operations team has already confirmed that we can expect Pokémon TCG Pocket’s next expansion in 2025. This guide covers everything we know about Pokémon TCG Pocket’s roadmap.
If you’re keen to crack more packs, here’s all you need to know about Pokémon sets, plus the best Pokémon packs to buy. For the more hardcore collectors, we can also point you to the priciest rare Pokémon cards to chase.
Pokémon TCG Pocket next expansion release date estimate
In a social media post from January 16, Pokémon TCG Pocket confirmed that new booster packs would be added “this month”. “We’ll have more details to share soon on the new Pokémon encounters fans can look forward to.” Rumors and speculation say that the expansion will release sometime between January 25 and January 30, but there’s no official confirmed release date yet.
That’s all that’s been shared about the next Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion so far, we’re afraid. With less than two weeks left of January 2025, we’re assuming that there won’t be too much fanfare before the new boosters drop. They’ll probably just appear on the app, and we can discover their best cards for ourselves.
Based on the fact this social media post refers to “booster packs”, we’re hopeful that a full expansion is on the way, rather than a single-booster expansion like Mythical Island. It’s been almost three months since the debut triple-booster expansion launched, so the app is ripe for a new host of cards to collect.

Upcoming Pokémon TCG Pocket events
Pokémon TCG Pocket keeps its lips sealed about upcoming events until just before it’s due to launch. Because of this, we can’t yet confirm what the next Pokémon TCG Pocket event will be.
However, based on past Pokémon TCG Pocket events, we can speculate about how often certain events appear. New Wonder Pick events appear roughly every three weeks, so we’d expect to see the next one in mid-February.
Drop events are much less consistent, with some launching within two weeks of each other, while others arrive several weeks after the previous event. However, seasonal Christmas events may have skewed recent data – we’ll update this guide with more information when we have it.
Emblem Events and SP Emblem Events have appeared roughly one month after previous events in their category. The original Emblem events launched just a few days after their related release, with SP Emblem events following about a month later. Based on the fact that we’ll have a new booster to open by the end of January, we’re expecting to see the next Emblem event in early February – and the next SP Emblem event soon after that.
The last Mass Outbreak event ran from December 26 until January 1, and it debuted roughly one month after the previous event of this kind. If this proves to be a trend, we should see another Mass Outbreak very soon.
