Did you pull six cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket? Here's why
I play Pokémon TCG Pocket every day, and I have since it launched. With somewhere north of 6,000 cards in my collection, it's my most-played mobile game to date — so when I pulled six cards instead of five, it blew my mind. After opening hundreds of packs, I only expected five cards. The sight of a sixth one had me Googling whether it was a bug or something I'd missed. As it turns out, the most recent update (the addition of the Wisdom of Sea and Sky packs) added a slight possibility that players could pull six cards instead. It's like a regular pack plus one card, and that last pull often contains a baby Pokémon like Pichu, Cleffa, or Elekid. The feature is a nod to Pokémon Gold and Silver, just like the pack itself. With Ho-Oh and Lugia as the respective legendaries of the two games, it's no real surprise they make an appearance as the card art — but Gold and Silver also introduced the idea of 'baby' Pokémon, pre-evolutions to existing favorites. Recommended Videos When you draw a sixth Pokémon card, the animation is slightly different, but it took a couple of times before I actually noticed the tweaks. The change is subtle, so you might not realize it until you're staring down at six cards in total. Players have roughly an 8.33% chance to pull a sixth card out of a normal pack. Each of the two packs offers a different set of Pokémon, with the Ho-Oh set offering Magby, Smoochum, and Tyrogue, while the Lugia set offers Pichi, Elekid, and Cleffa. So far, it seems like the six-card draws are the only way to organically obtain a baby Pokémon (not counting Togepi, which can appear in any set). That means the actual chance of drawing some of these cards, like the coveted 1-star Pichu, is close to 1%. If you want to get your hands on them, you'll need to play regularly and take advantage of hourglass draws, too. The good news is that the dev team just awarded players an extra 10,000 Trade Tokens, and you can exchange 60 of these for 60 Pack Hourglasses. You can also exchange 100 Trade Tokens for 1,000 Shinedust for trading with other players, so it's slightly easier to get your hands on the cards you're missing. All in all, you have around a 29% chance to pull a baby Pokémon as your sixth card. Aside from the adorable card art, these picks offer something else, too: the potential for a free ability. While their attacks don't inflict damage, they do give you an edge. For instance, Cleffa can use Twinkly Call to put a random 'mon in your hand, while Magby can use Toasty Toss to attach a fire energy from to a Pokémon on the bench. All of the baby Pokémon only have 30 HP, so they're vulnerable to even weak attacks. They aren't currently able to evolve into higher-stage Pokémon, either, so playing them is a bit of a risk. These are great for early-game rushes, but you need a strategy in place to get them off the field once they've served their purpose. That holds especially true in Pokémon TCG Pocket with its much faster-paced gameplay. This update feels like one of the best ones yet, and while it isn't confirmed, the chance to pull better cards feels slightly higher compared to earlier sets. It's a good time to be a Pokémon fan, especially with Pokémon Legends: Z-A launching soon and Pokémon Champions just around the corner.

Are you smarter than a computer? New Exploratorium exhibition puts AI to the test
If the Exploratorium's newest exhibition is already the most popular, it's also one of the quietest. 'Adventures in AI' puts visitors of all ages face-to-face with different forms of artificial intelligence, forcing them to confront their qualms and explore the various applications of the rapidly developing technology. But it does so with an uncharacteristic calm and quiet that contrasts from the rest of the museum's summertime buzz. Doug Thistlewolf, the waterfront museum's manager of exhibit development, attributes the vibe shift to how deeply it engrosses visitors. 'We really wanted to shape this show into something that was engaging for people (and) met them where their fears are or their excitement is,' he told the Chronicle. 'Everybody's kind of got a different entry point.' The show runs through Sept. 14, featuring 20 exhibits and eight artworks. Its range of hands-on experiences allow visitors of all ages to interact with AI, investigating ethical and environmental concerns and exploring the ways in which it can detect objects, engage in conversation and more. One challenges visitors to make shadow puppets for the technology to recognize, while another allows participants to train it with photos taken at the exhibition. 'I think it's a good way for everyone to get their hands wet in AI and (see) what it's all about,' East Bay resident Tim Wong, 60, said during a recent trip to the exhibition with his family. 'Especially for the younger kids, the term is thrown around a lot, and it's going to be a big part of their world when they grow up.' The exhibition is organized around a central plaza filled with AI-related pieces for visitors to play with, from a 9-foot-tall robotic hand to a giant thought-provoking distorted mirror. From there, it branches off into more in-depth topics such as social impacts and bias. Thistlewolf noted that 'Adventures in AI' has drawn a diverse array of demographics since opening last month, from families and children's summer camp groups to tech insiders and Gen Zers. While many of the adults, like Wong, have expressed excitement about the technology, some of the Exploratorium's younger visitors weren't as convinced. 'I think it's pretty cool how the AI can think of things, but I think it definitely needs to work on its thinking of concepts,' Luna Fischer Loya, 11, said during a trip to the museum with her grandmother. 'Sometimes I get a little intimidated by it.' Similarly skeptical of the technology, even after exploring the exhibition, 10-year-old Bruce Black admitted that AI is still 'a little bit scary' to him. 'It made me feel a little uncertain of what's going to happen,' he said after exploring a few exhibits. 'There are people saying that AI would take over the world, and I'm like, 'If that's going to happen, why am I using it? '' The Sacramento resident visited the Exploratorium with his mother, 34-year-old Abbie Black, who had a more positive outlook. She noted that as long as AI doesn't replace humans' jobs and is used for 'making life easier,' she's all for it. Thistlewolf acknowledged the broad range of feelings toward AI. 'There's a lot of nuance,' he said, adding that at the very least, he hopes that visitors can leave 'Adventures in AI' with a more thorough understanding. 'We're not trying to force people to change their opinion,' he said. 'We know that people are afraid,' he added. 'But they're probably afraid of the wrong thing.'

Pokémon TCG Pocket Pulls Rare Card Artwork After Plagiarism Allegations
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The Pokémon Company launched a new expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket today, but before it was even released, it was subject to major controversy, which has resulted in a surprising change to the game. Just prior to the launch of the Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket, a datamine for the update made its way onto the internet. Among the cards leaked was an immersive rare card – some of the rarest cards in the game – for a Ho-Oh ex that bears a striking resemblance to fan art produced in 2021 by Chinese artist Lanjiujiu. Three starter Pokémon cards from the Pokémon TCG Pocket Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion. Three starter Pokémon cards from the Pokémon TCG Pocket Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion. The Pokémon Company Lanjiujiu noticed the resemblance and posted on X (formerly Twitter) in confusion, showing a comparison of the card with their artwork that shows it looking effectively identical. Many were quick to blame Pokémon TCG artist SIE NANAHARA, who's produced dozens of artworks for the Pokémon TCG, Pokémon TCG Pocket, and Magic the Gathering, among others, accusing her of plagiarism — but a new statement from The Pokémon Company has cleared up the situation. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), The Pokémon Company through the official Pokémon TCG Pocket account shedding light on the situation and pledging to make things right. According to The Pokémon Company, illustrator SIE NANAHARA was provided with "incorrect reference materials" upon which to base her illustrations, resulting in the similarity to Lanjiujiu's artwork. After the discovery was made, The Pokémon Company quickly moved to remove the artwork from the affected cards – both Ho-Oh ex and Lugia ex, which features the Ho-Oh card in its immersive animation – and will be replacing it with new artwork in the future. The company says it will also be conducting an extensive review of artwork in the game to ensure no similar issues exist within prior works released in the game. We'd like to share an update about the upcoming expansion in #PokemonTCGPocket. — Pokémon TCG Pocket (@PokemonTCGP) July 30, 2025 As of the time of publishing, if players pull the card in a set, they're greeted with a blank, artwork-free card that simply says "New art coming soon." Attempting to play the immersive animation for the card sees players greeted with silence and a black screen for a few seconds, before the placeholder card is displayed again.
