It's time for a new booster set in Pokmon TCG Pocket, and it's introducing quite a bit to the game when it arrives. Shining Revelry, the next themed booster pack for Pokmon TCG Pocket, arrives on March 27, 2025, introducing Shiny Pokmon, ranked matches, and the Paldea region's trainers and Pokmon.As part of the new booster, Shining Revelry will introduce Shiny variants of popular Pokmon, including Charizard ex, Lucario ex, and Pachirisu. You can see a preview of what they'll look like in the latest Pokmon TCG Pocket teaser below:PlayThe Shiny variants not only add some extra sparkle and shine to these Pokmon, but also change their color schemes. For Pokmon TCG Pocket, the Shiny Pokmon cards will sparkle when tilted, adding to the effect. Fans of the Shiny look can also get a Shiny Charizard display board and binder starting on April 1.Themed booster sets, like Mythical Island or Triumphant Light, are typically smaller sets with fewer cards compared to larger sets like Genetic Apex or Space-Time Smackdown. That doesn't mean they aren't making some interesting additions to the sets, though. Shining Revelry will bring the Paldea region from Pokmon Scarlet and Violet to Pokmon TCG Pocket, introducing the likes of Tatsugiri and Sprigatito, as well as the trainer Iono.Ranked matches are also launching on March 27, letting players battle and earn emblems based on their end-of-season rank to display on their profile. The first season will run from March 27 to April 26.Recently, the Pokemon TCG Pocket team confirmed it would be changing the trading system, which has earned the ire of players looking to exchange cards and round out their collections. The actual changes will be rolling out gradually though, so we'll see if the suprisingly robust drop for Shining Revelry mollifies the community or not.Eric is a freelance writer for IGN.
