When Does Mythical Island Release in Pokémon TCG Pocket?
The highly anticipated Mythical Island booster pack drops in Pokémon TCG Pocket on December 17th at 1:00 AM Eastern Time—coinciding with the game's daily reset.
Note that the Genetic Apex set packs will also be available simultaneously. Mythical Island is part of the A1 collection, but whether or not Pack Points can be used remains to be seen.
Notable Cards in Mythical Island
Mythical Island introduces over 80 new cards to Pokémon TCG Pocket, including the highly anticipated Mew Ex. While a base Mew card exists as a rare secret mission reward, it's considered underwhelming in the current meta. Mew Ex, however, promises to be a game-changer.
Here's a sneak peek at some of the cards:
| Card | Description |
|---|---|
| Mew Ex (Psychic) | 130 HP Psyshot (1 Psychic Energy): 20 damage. Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose 1 of your opponent’s Active Pokémon’s attacks and use it as this attack. |
| Aerodactyl Ex (Fighting) | 140 HP Primeval Law (Ability): Your opponent can’t play any Pokémon from their hand to evolve their Active Pokémon. Land Crush (1 Fighting, 1 Colorless Energy): 80 damage. |
| Marshadow (Fighting) | 80 HP Revenge (1 Fighting, 1 Colorless Energy): If any of your Pokémon were Knocked Out by damage from an attack during your opponent’s last turn, this attack does 60 more damage. 40+ damage. |
| Blue (Trainer) | During your opponent’s next turn, all of your Pokémon take -10 damage from attacks from your opponent’s Pokémon. |
| Leaf (Trainer) | During this turn, the Retreat Cost of your Active Pokémon is 2 less. |
These five cards alone have the potential to significantly alter the meta, and the emergence of new deck archetypes is sure to be exciting.
