A few days before his first birthday, Pokémon Pocketthe mobile collectible card game, confirms its benchmark status among smartphone TCGs. Proposed by DeNa and supported by The Pokémon Company, the title has continued to expand its mechanics since its launch in 2024.
With its random draws, thematic boosters and customization options, the game appeals to both avid collectors and more casual players. Each event becomes an opportunity to offer exclusive content to its community. And the operations for the month of October promise to be the richest of the year.
A look back at the latest Raichu-ex event: a muscular preview
Before the current surge, players were able to participate in an event focused on Raichu-exa powerful card from a limited series. The event, still active until October 16allowed participants to win various rewards, including valuable hourglasses and resources needed for card draws.
This type of operation is not new, but it is distinguished by dynamic mission mechanics, inviting players to come back daily so as not to miss anything. It was also a perfect warm-up before the much more ambitious new releases which started in mid-October.
Shaymin and Absol cards: rare icons with a very limited duration
Since the October 13a new major event was launched around the Pickaxes Chanseyintroducing two new cards bearing the image of Shaymin And Absolute. These cards, with their elaborate design and assured rarity, are only available during ten days.
Beyond the collectible effect, these cards are part of a broader logic: enriching the meta of the game with emblematic characters, while enhancing aesthetics and strategy. They are not only beautiful, they can also prove useful in duels, increasing the value of draws for more competitive players.
Exclusive themed items: Professor Chen in the spotlight
The Shaymin-Absol event is accompanied by a system of Tickets Shopwhich players can earn and then exchange for temporary items. All of these elements are centered around a single iconic character: Professor Chen.
The temporary store offers:
- A Pokémon coin in his image
- A play mat unique
- Of the card protectors, backgrounds, blanketsand even a dedicated icon
These objects allow you to fully personalize your game interface for the duration of the event. It’s a clever way to strengthen players’ attachment to their deck and make the game a visual extension of their Pokémon passion. Please note: these elements will not be no longer available after October 23.
Bonus Week: loot, hourglasses, and one more chance
At the same time, a Bonus Week was launched from October 12 to 19. It is based on a system of easy-to-accomplish missions, designed to reward diligence. Every day, players can unlock:
- Of the Additional Shop Tickets
- Of the Booster hourglasseshighly sought after to improve your chances of drawing
- Generous doses of Radiance Powderuseful resource for improving maps
Another surprise: the temporary return of the function “glance” in miracle picks. It allows you to see the potential content of a print before validating it. This small strategic advantage drastically increases the chances of recovering a really useful card.
