Extradimensional Crisis will be the latter, as it's a limited themed booster, and builds upon the previous Celestial Guardians expansion.

The Next Pokémon TCG Pocket Expansion Brings Ultra Beasts Next Week
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 has announced the next expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, and it's set to launch next week in the app. The new expansion is called Extradimensional Crisis, and it's a themed booster pack, meaning it's limited to a single booster pack – rather than two like full expansions – and is likely to add around 100-150 cards to the game. Extradimensional Crisis will add Ultra Beast Pokémon cards to Pokémon TCG Pocket, strange creatures from another dimension that have a special designation in the TCG.

The Pokémon Company A number of Ultra Beast cards were revealed in a press release accompanying the announcement, including some Pokémon ex cards, regular cards designated as an Ultra Beast card, and even full art variants of the Pokémon. Other related cards, like Type: Null and Pokémon ex versions of Guardian Pokémon like Tapu Koko, were also revealed to be coming to the game. More Trainer cards are coming in the new set, too, with a Lusamine card revealed in the expansion's trailer. It's likely that these cards will interact and engage with Ultra Beast cards, allowing greater flexibility than Trainer cards that require specific types or even specific Pokémon to be effective. The Lusamine card, for example, allows you to take two random energy from your discard pile and add it to an Ultra Beast card on your field. The expansion comes after the introduction of Alolan Pokémon in the last full TCG Pocket set, which was titled Celestial Guardians and focused on Pokémon and trainers introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Ultra Beasts were also introduced in those games, so it seems as if Extradimensional Crisis acts as further expansion of the Celestial Guardians set. The Extradimensional Crisis expansion will be released in Pokémon TCG Pocket on May 29, 2025. A number of events themed around the expansion will also be added to the game following its introduction, including solo battle events, Wonder Pick events, and Mass Outbreak events:

Pokémon TCG Pocket's Next Expansion is Coming Next Week and Focuses on Alola
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 has just announced a new expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, Celestial Guardians, which is set to be released next week, on April 30, 2025. Celestial Guardians will be a full expansion like Genetic Apex and Space-Time Smackdown rather than a limited themed expansion like the recent Shining Revelry and Triumphant Light sets. It will launch with two booster packs to open, one for Solgaleo and one for Lunala, the signature Legendary Pokémon from Pokémon Sun and Moon. Key artwork for the Celestial Guardians expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket featuring Solgaleo and Lunala. Key artwork for the Celestial Guardians expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket featuring Solgaleo and Lunala. The Pokémon Company The Celestial Guardians expansion will have a big focus on Alolan Pokémon, including the aforementioned Legendary Pokémon, the Alolan first partner Pokémon – Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio – and Alolan forms like Alolan Raichu and Alolan Meowth. It also features Pokémon originally found in Alola, such as Oricorio, which will have its various forms available as separate cards. The new expansion's trailer also revealed Trainer cards focused on Trial Leaders from Pokémon Sun and Moon, with effects focused on most available types in the game right now, although they seem to be primarily focused on specific Pokémon cards rather than the type archetypes as a whole. Celestial Guardians will also bring with it the first Immersive Full Art card based on a Trainer card, with a card based on Lillie shown in the trailer. In addition to the new expansion, The Pokémon Company also revealed in a press release that a new event is coming to the game next week to celebrate Pokémon TCG Pocket's six-month anniversary. This event, which runs from April 29 to May 12, 2025, will give players the opportunity to earn multiple Rayquaza ex Promo cards, as well as additional cosmetics and other Promo cards. The Pokémon Company previously promised to overhaul Pokémon TCG Pocket's controversial trading system, which was met with backlash upon its introduction earlier this year. The changes were said to be coming prior to the end of Fall 2025, and will change the required items for trading and at some point expand the cards available to trade, including the addition of higher rarity cards and limited-time Promo cards. It's unknown at this stage if the changes to trading will be available alongside Celestial Guardians, or if they'll come at a later date.

Pokémon TCG Pocket Is Getting Even Rarer Cards To Hunt For
Across Pokémon games, Shiny Pokémon are desired for their rarity. The most dedicated players spend hundreds of hours hunting for the variants to truly max out their collections. Pokémon TCG Pocket will now let the mobile card game's players do the same with the introduction of the Shining Revelry set. Revealed on Friday, the next batch of cards will include Shiny variants of Charizard ex, Lucario ex, and others that will sparkle when tilted sideways in the game. They're headed to Pokémon TCG Pocket on March 27, alongside new creature and trainer cards hailing from Pokémon Violet and Scarlet's Paldea region. Tatsugiri, Sprigatito, and Iono are just a few of the new faces arriving before the end of the month. Exactly how rare will Shiny TCG Pocket cards be? The Pokémon Company and developer DeNA haven't yet revealed the actual odds of finding one in a pack. They may be similar to current crown cards like the gold Charizard ex which has a 0.04 percent chance of appearing in packs. The Shiny Charizard ex shown in the trailer for Shining Revelry has two new rainbow symbols in the rarity section of the card, however, leading me to believe it will be even harder to find. The good news is that players will have other things to occupy themselves with besides the pain of not finding shinies when the new set drops. TCG Pocket's first Ranked matches are also going live in the game on March 27. A new set of ex Starter Deck missions will be available that day as well. It should give fans plenty to do while waiting for the developers to fix the game's abysmal trading system. Those changes, including getting rid of trade tokens and letting players advertise the cards they want, are supposed to arrive no later than fall 2025. .
