The Pokémon TCG Pocket trading card game is entering a new phase marked by the arrival of the C series and the release of Dual Fusion, an expansion launching on October 29th , just before the game's second anniversary. The mobile title aims to maintain the interest of a player base that continues to request changes in how to collect and compete, and it's doing so with new features that affect both the content and the release schedule.
Among the most noticeable changes is the introduction of cards with two types at once , a formula never before used in the game, which opens the door to different strategies. This mix of types won't be the only new feature: the app will also revise the frequency with which booster packs appear and add tools to make building a collection less overwhelming.
Dual Fusion and dual-type cards
The Dual Fusion expansion will be the first set in the C series and will combine two types into a single card . Examples shown by The Pokémon Company include Mega-Mewtwo X ex, with the Psychic and Fighting types, and Mega-Greninja ex, with Water and Dark. This duality aims to allow players to create decks with new synergies, although the development team has noted that some of the content is still being fine-tuned.
Alongside these Mega Evolutions, the expansion will bring back familiar names like Pikachu, Charizard, and Venusaur , who will have new cards and artwork. The idea is that Dual Fusion won't be limited to just a handful of eye-catching cards, but will offer options for both those who play meticulously and those who enjoy completing Pokémon TCG Pocket collections.
Less rush with the envelopes and more ease in playing
The release schedule will also change. Starting with Series C, booster packs will be released every six weeks instead of every four, the operations team explained. The intention is to give players more time to complete their collections without feeling like they're always behind, a recurring complaint among some members of the community.
In addition, Pokémon TCG Pocket will include a special booster pack called First Partners, focused on the starter Pokémon from all nine regions . This type of pack will have a special stamina system that regenerates weekly and will offer one-star cards, so it won't replace the regular booster packs, but rather serve as an additional way to expand your collection.
In the gameplay section, loaner decks will have unlimited uses and can also be used in matches against other players. Decks created by the community can also be copied using codes, a feature designed to facilitate access to proven strategies and which will coexist with the recommended decks within the app.
The sum of these changes points to a more measured season, but with more ways to participate without relying solely on luck when opening packs. The app is thus still awaiting player feedback, as they have long been requesting a less frantic collecting process and more options to compete with the cards they already own.
With Dual Fusion as its central focus, Pokémon TCG Pocket enters Series C with dual-type cards, six-week cycles, and new ways to obtain cards . October 29th is marked as the key date to see how Mega Evolutions, special packs, and shared decks fit into the daily life of a community that hopes these adjustments will make the game more manageable without losing its appeal.
