Another year of Pokémon TCG Pocket is drawing to a close and, just like last year, there’s a special set landing to mark the end of the B Series.
Pokémon TCG Pocket‘s monthly set releases have become imprinted in the minds of Pokémon fans, and the next one, Deluxe Pack Mega, is a big one, as it marks the end of this generation of the game.
Next month, a big update is on the cards to refresh a host of in-game content, and we’ve got all the details on when the new expansion launches.
When Does Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Deluxe Pack Mega Expansion Launch?
The Deluxe Pack Mega expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket is set for release on September 30, though time zone differences mean it will land for some players earlier.
Releases in Pokémon TCG Pocket are scheduled at 1 AM UTC, which is evening for those in the United States, the early hours of the morning for those in Europe, and late morning for those in Asia and Australia.
As ever, the new expansion will come alongside an update to the app that must be downloaded before you get access to all the new cards, so make sure you do that as soon as you can.
The table below details the exact release date and start times in time zones across the world.

What’s Coming in The Deluxe Pack Mega Expansion?
The Deluxe Pack Mega expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket will bring the B Series era to a close, with the C Series set to kick off next month.
Like the initial Deluxe Pack released last year, which marked the end of the A Series, the new expansion will include re-releases of existing cards, parallel foil versions, alongside new illustration arts.
Each pack will contain four cards, one of which is guaranteed to be an ex, and the pack will only be available for a limited time, with the initial period ending October 29.
It will return in the future, just like the original Deluxe Pack has, but given the limited-time nature, it might take longer to complete.
