Pokemon TCG Pocket Shining Revelry is here, but at least one new card is locked behind a paywall – making it the first truly premium card in the game. Shining Revelry has added a total of 72 new cards to Pokemon TCG Pocket and all of them can be found by opening booster packs, trading, using points, and by doing Wonder Picks. However, a new promo Mewtwo EX card has also been added to the Premium section and the bundle is priced at £18.
49, making it over $23 in the US. The bundle includes a few other things, such as a Shiny Mewtwo coin, a new card sleeve, a playmat, and a Shiny Radience frame + cover. It also gives players a stack of gold.
The first paywall card This marks the first time that Pokemon TCG Pocket has locked content behind a paywall, and while the new Mewtwo EX card is a supplement to the Shining Revelry expansion rather than a numbered part of it, it’s bound to set tongues wagging. However, it is included as part of this expansion’s promo collection. Of course, TCG Pocket does have a premium option where players can pay a set amount each month to unlock an extra booster pack a day, as well as some other perks, but this is entirely optional.
While the premium subscription certainly makes collecting all the cards faster, it doesn’t give those who use it access to any exclusive cards. It remains to be seen if the new Mewtwo EX card will be obtainable outside of the premium bundle at some point in the future, but for now, those wanting to collect every card.
