The biggest update to the mobile game brings iconic cards, shiny versions, and special events for the first anniversary

On October 30, 2025, the highly anticipated B1: Megaascenso expansion arrived in Pokémon TCG Pocket, marking a turning point in the popular digital card game. The major innovation is the introduction of the mega evolution mechanic, a system that fans have been requesting since launch, which brings powerful Pokémon such as Mega-Blaziken, Mega-Gyarados, and Mega-Altaria into the competitive metagame.
With a total of 331 new cards, Megaascenso not only expands the available content but also redefines gameplay strategies by including Pokémon with significantly higher stats. In this expansion, many creatures exceed 200 hit points, which forces players to rethink their decks and adapt to the new combat pace.
Mega evolutions and the redesign of the metagame
The new set is divided into three packs—each with its signature Pokémon—and is expected to deeply change the dynamics of play. The arrival of mega evolutions adds a more intense strategic dimension, as they combine offensive power and resilience, offering new possibilities for competitive matchups.
Additionally, Megaascenso introduces reprints of classic cards in shiny versions, including Palkia ex, Dialga ex, Arceus ex, and Pikachu ex, ideal for collectors seeking visual rarities within the game.

Massive update and experience improvements
The expansion arrives alongside a major system update, with features that enhance player interaction. One of the most notable is the "Share" option, which allows users to send and receive one card per day with friends. The catalog of tradable cards was also expanded, and the magic selection system was optimized, adjusting the experience based on community feedback.
To celebrate the first anniversary of Pokémon TCG Pocket, a series of special events and missions with exclusive rewards was launched:
Anniversary campaign: three free Megaascenso packs upon login.
Special missions: access to commemorative badges and additional prizes.
Promotional events: recovery of limited promotional cards and exchange coupons.
