Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Next Expansion Officially Adds a New Type of Card
Pokémon TCG Pocket's next expansion is Dual Fusion, which brings dual-type cards, the First Partners special pack, and a limited-time Pikachu event.
Pokémon Company announces Dual Fusion, a new expansion for the Pokémon TCG Pocket game, set to launch on October 28 at 6:00 p.m. This expansion marks the debut of dual-type cards, a first for the mobile game. Dual-type cards, featuring two types instead of one, introduce fresh strategies to gameplay. For instance, Mega Mewtwo X ex, a dual Psychic and Fighting-type card, exemplifies this new twist.
Dual-type cards, previously present in the physical game, are now available in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The expansion comes with striking illustrations, as showcased below. To mark the game's second anniversary, a special event will run from the Dual Fusion release until December 14. During this period, players will receive a ticket to exchange for a booster pack guaranteed to contain a two-star card.
From December 15, players can rent six Dual Fusion decks to experiment with the new cards. Alongside Dual Fusion's debut, Pokémon TCG Pocket also teases upcoming special events. The first, Pika Pika! Pikachu Missions, commemorates 30 years of Pokémon TCG, running from October 20 to 2026. Players can log in daily for 10 days to earn a unique Pikachu ex immersive card exclusive to the event.
Additional rewards include Pika Pika! Pikachu packs and accessories. Starting October 31, Special Pack: First Partners will be available. These packs, opened using special pack stamina that replenishes weekly, guarantee a one-star card depicting the first partner Pokémon encountered in each of the nine Pokémon regions. The event concludes on December 26.
