The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, *Shining Revelry*, has brought a dazzling array of over 110 new cards into the game, including shiny variants from the Paldea region. As a fan, I can't help but wish for more Hourglasses to indulge in a 10-pack pull. I dove right in when the update launched, using a bunch of my hard-earned Pack Hourglasses to open ten packs. My luck held out just enough to snag a Charizard EX, though the rest of the haul was less exciting.
One highlight was pulling the Pokémon Center Lady card, which is quite handy as she can heal Special Conditions—a crucial advantage when you're battling a debilitating Burn.

Alongside the new cards, the update introduces an Emblem event, where you can earn stunning new badges to show off to your friends. The excitement doesn't stop there—Ranked Matches are on the horizon, allowing you to compete against other Trainers as you climb from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Your performance will be tracked with points, and at the end of the approximately one-month season, you'll receive an emblem reflecting your achievements. It's time for me to dust off my dueling skills and start crafting some serious decks.
If you're itching to join the fun, you can dive into Pokémon TCG Pocket on the App Store and Google Play. It's free-to-play with in-app purchases, making it accessible for everyone.
