When youve filter through your collection in Pokmon Trading Card Game Pocket, you may notice an option to filter for Pokmon Tool cards. Theres nothing ever there, because Pokmon TCG Pocket doesnt currently have any Pokmon Tool cards. But that appears to be changing with the Space-Time Expansion announced Thursday.When the update is released on Jan. 30, its likely that the 140 new cards will include at least several Pokmon Tool cards, as evidenced by the description of one card shown during the teaser trailer. The Pachirisu ex card has a move called Sparkling Gadget, which mentions having a Pokmon Tool attached. Its the first mention of the card type beyond the filter system. Its still unclear how the Pokmon Tool cards will function in Pokmon TCG Pocket, but theyre likely to be similar to the physical trading card game. Pokmon Tool cards are basically like held items in the video games: if you attach a Float Stone to a Pokmon in the physical card game, retreat cost is decreased, for instance. There, you can attach berries, stones, shards all sorts of things that add a new variable to how the cards interact in the game.Trainer cards in the game, so far, are Items, Fossils, or Supporters. Pokmon Tool cards add another element to slide into your decks.A lot hinges on how Tool cards are implemented. Will the Pokmon Company increase the amount of cards you can hold in your deck due to the new card type? Will the cards be adjusted for Pokmon TCG Pocket? Theres still a lot that we dont know, but it could be an interesting variable that injects some freshness into the battling system, which can feel stale when the same decks get run over and over again. Without a deck size increase, the addition of tools means players will have to strategize over whether to prioritize Tool cards or other types theres likely to be more variety seen across decks as players decide what better suits their particular playstyle over purely whats in the meta.An increase of deck size would be a major change to Pokmon TCG Pocket, and it feels less likely that well see that. But theres really only one guarantee: Come next week, with the injection of 140 cards into the game, expect a meta shakeup and tons more cards to collect.
