Release CalendarEvery TCG Pocket expansion · Genetic Apex (Oct 2024) — Present
Your complete guide to every Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion — from Genetic Apex through the latest drop, with global release dates and set codes.
Pokémon TCG Pocket releases a new expansion on a roughly monthly cadence, alternating large “main” sets with smaller mini-expansions. Sets are grouped into numbered series — the A-series ran from Genetic Apex (A1) through Deluxe Pack: ex (A4b), and the B-series ran from Mega Rising (B1) in October 2025 to Deluxe Pack: Mega (B4b) in September 2026. Releases are global and simultaneous across all regions.
Deluxe Pack: Mega is a limited-time pack of 429 cards that closes the B series. It reissues every ◆◆◆◆ card from Mega Rising to Ruler of the Skies, and every pack has one Pokémon ex. See the Deluxe Pack: Mega card list for every card.
Team Rocket’s Ambition is a themed booster pack of 110 cards: a 72-card main set plus 38 secret rares. Most of the main set carries the Team Rocket name, headlined by Team Rocket’s Boss and the Team Rocket versions of Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. See the Team Rocket’s Ambition card list for every card.
On the morning of 26 Aug 2026 the official Pokémon TCG Pocket account on X was rebranded in character as Team Rocket to promote the set. A post written as the Boss of Team Rocket said the group had taken over the game’s social accounts and app servers, and gave a time of 26 Aug 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. As of 27 Aug 2026 the account name still reads Team Rocket HQ.
