The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, *Shining Revelry*, has arrived with a dazzling array of over 110 new cards, including shiny variants that have me wishing for more Hourglasses to splurge on a 10-pack pull. This expansion introduces exciting new cards from the Paldea region, enhancing the game's already rich collection.
As soon as the update went live, I couldn't resist using my hard-earned Pack Hourglasses to open ten packs. My luck? I managed to pull a Charizard EX, which was a thrilling highlight, though the rest of the haul was less impressive. However, drawing the Pokémon Center Lady card was a silver lining; her ability to heal Special Conditions will come in handy, especially when dealing with pesky effects like Burn.
In line with previous expansions, *Shining Revelry* introduces an Emblem event where players can earn stylish new badges to show off. But the real excitement comes with the introduction of Ranked Matches. These competitive battles will allow you to climb from Beginner to Master Ball Rank, earning points and an emblem at the end of the season, which lasts approximately one month. It's time for me to dust off my dueling skills and start crafting some serious decks.
If you're eager to dive into the action, you can download Pokémon TCG Pocket for free on the App Store and Google Play, with in-app purchases available.
