Fantastical Parade in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket focuses on both collecting and battling, with new booster packs that spotlight Mega Gardevoir. These packs will also expand the roster of Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards.

Parallelly, they will introduce Legendary Pokémon Ogerpon to Pokémon TCG Pocket for the first time in the form of Teal Mask Ogerpon ex. The expansion leans into a festival atmosphere, with cards illustrated using colourful, celebratory themes. It also adds Stadiums as a brand-new subtype of Trainer cards, to alter how the in-play zone functions during battles.

The same January 29th date marks the arrival of several in-app feature updates. The trade system will gain a new message function that allows players to select from set of messages. It will make it easier to indicate whether they’re looking to trade for a wishlisted card or for a card in an alternate language.

On the battle side, the solo battle feature will introduce a random battle option. Here, players enter a match without knowing what deck their opponent will be using until the battle actually begins.

Fantastical Parade brings multiple events to Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket

From January 29th to April 26th, Elite Deck Gift Missions will be available. It gives you the chance to complete missions in exchange for a Fire-type Elite Deck that includes Mega Blaziken ex and Entei ex.

Running during the same window, Handy Card Collection Missions will focus on earning Trainer cards. They’re designed to be useful in battle, such as Copycat, Giant Cape and additional cards.

Later in the season, the Mega Medicham ex Drop Event will happen from February 11th to February 21st. It offers special solo battles that reward you with B Series promo packs vol. 4.

Rounding out the event lineup is the Wonder Pick Event, set for February 14th to February 24th. During this, promo cards featuring Cinderace and Alolan Vulpix will appear in wonder picks.
