Celestial Guardians is set to overhaul Pokémon TCG Pocket’s meta. Here is everything you need to know about the expansion, including the release date, start time, card list, and what’s new.
Pokémon TCG Pocket is a resounding success story. It only took nine days for the mobile game to surpass 30 million downloads. In February, the developers announced that the game had surpassed 100 million downloads, and it remains extremely popular.
Players have had plenty of content to keep themselves busy. Triumphant Light and Shining Revelry have come and gone, and Celestial Guardians is the next expansion coming to TCG Pocket.
Celestial Guardians Release Date
Celestial Guardians officially launches on April 29.
Players don’t need to wait much longer before the expansion comes out. If you haven’t already been saving Pack Hourglasses, you should start now because you will want to open as many packs as you can when the expansion first starts.
Make sure to log in every day and collect your Pack Hourglasses to help make it easier to open Celestial Guardians packs.
