Of course, you'll also be able to heat up your credit card to get extra boosters more quickly via an in-game currency that can be bought or earned by completing missions.

The programme includes familiar cards from the various physical editions, as well as cards exclusive to the game with very cool visual effects, in 3D like Marvel Snap for example, or even animated. For the release of Pokémon TCG Pocket, we'll have the opportunity to discover the Genetic Apex set, which includes 226 cards representing first-generation Pokémon.

It's a safe bet that updates featuring other sets will arrive very soon after the game's release. In fact, rumours claim that the next sets of cards will be released on 16 December 2024 and 29 January 2025 (not to be taken too seriously, though).
