Pokémon TCG Pocket Launches the Pulsing Aura Expansion with 155 New Cards

The Pokémon Company and DeNA dropped a new expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, titled Pulsing Aura. The new content is all about battle intensity, and it’s here to strengthen the Fighting-type strategies. And of course, it introduces several high-profile cards.

Pulsing Aura brings a larger base than Shining Revelry to Pokémon TCG Pocket

Pulsing Aura features Mega Lucario and Mega Sceptile prominently on the booster pack artwork. Among the major additions are Mega Lucario ex, Mega Sceptile ex, and Vaporeon ex. Trainer cards in this expansion are tailored to support Fighting-type Pokémon.

Pulsing Aura introduces a new cosmetic system to Pokémon TCG Pocket in the form of gold frames. These will be available for ◆, ◆◆, and ◆◆◆ rarity cards and continue into future releases. You can unlock a gold frame automatically after collecting 10 duplicates of the same card.

Additional frames can be earned by consuming duplicates through the Obtain Flair feature. The expansion itself consists of 155 cards in its base set, with additional variants expanding the overall pool.
