Energy-Free Attacks and Strategic Evolution

One of the biggest surprises in this update? Pokémon that don’t require Energy for attacks. This marks a major shift in how matches can unfold, opening up faster-paced plays and clever deck strategies. Players looking to build around speed, disruption, or simplicity now have fresh tools at their disposal.

Whether you’re a casual collector or a serious TCG player, this tweak could redefine your entire playstyle.

Major Game Feature Updates Coming Too

This isn’t just about new cards—it’s a full platform update. Alongside the expansion, Pokémon TCG Pocket is rolling out:

A wishlist system, letting you track up to 20 cards and highlight your top three favorites on your profile.
An overhaul to the trade system, retiring tokens and replacing them with shinedust—a new currency earned through gameplay like missions, achievements, or pulling duplicates.
