The best Pokemon TCG Pocket Pikachu ex deck and builds are dominating the current meta. By pairing it with Zapdos ex, players are creating lean, pure-electric-type decks that focus on a powerful early game that can irreversibly damage the opponent before they have time to set up the combos and evolutions that they need.

Pokémon TCG Pocket seems redundant next to 2023's Pokémon TCG Live. Both games offer collecting and battling mechanics. I spent a month with this new Pokémon game and can confirm it captures that classic feeling of collecting and playing games with Pokémon cards with your friends.

While trading is still a few months out, though, the Pokémon TCG Pocket team did say Wednesday that it plans to add new booster packs “by the end of the year,” but did not specify a date. Other “new features” are in development, too, which the company plans to announce more in the future.
