"Shining Revelry Expansion Coming to Pokemon TCG Pocket This Month"

My interest in Pokemon TCG Pocket ebbs and flows, but nothing gets me more excited than the arrival of a new set. I dive back in, playing intensely while there are Emblems to earn for achieving around 40 wins. Once that's done, my engagement shifts to a more casual routine: logging in daily to open packs, enjoying a Wonder Pick for fun, and then moving on until the next day. This cycle is set to repeat with the launch of the upcoming expansion, Shining Revelry, on March 27th.

Shining Revelry will enrich the TCG Pocket experience with 110 new cards, featuring a diverse array of new Ex Pokemon, Trainers, and the stunning art cards that fans adore. The highlight of this expansion, as hinted by its name, is the introduction of Shiny Pokemon. These are unique, differently colored versions of beloved Pokemon. For instance, you'll see a yellow Lucario instead of the usual blue, and a Pachirisu with a striking pink stripe.

The trailer, which you can view below, teases what's in store. A standout is the new Shiny Charizard Ex, boasting 180 HP and a powerful attack, Steam Artillery, that inflicts 150 damage but requires a hefty five energy. Thankfully, its other move, Stoke, lets you attach three Fire Energy at once, making it a bit more manageable.

Another exciting addition is the Lucario Ex. Previously more of a support in the Space-Time Smackdown expansion, this iteration of the Aura Pokemon is ready for frontline combat. With 150 HP and the Aura Sphere attack, which deals 100 damage for three Fighting Energy and also hits an opponent's Benched Pokemon for 30, it's a card to watch.

The trailer also showcases other cards that, while not game-changers, are visually appealing and exciting additions. Shiny versions of Wiglett, Pachirisu, and Varoom are on their way, looking fantastic. Additionally, there's a beautifully designed Tatsugiri art rare that I'm eager to add to my digital collection.
