New releases continue to come thick and fast in Pokémon TCG Pocket, and the latest B4 set is now right around the corner as Ruler of the Skies is set to take center stage.
The B Series of Pokémon TCG Pocket has focused on Mega Pokémon, which returned in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and have also made a comeback in the physical TCG, and that’s set to continue with the launch of Ruler of the Skies.
If you’re keen to know exactly when the next set releases in Pokémon TCG Pocket, Insider Gaming has all the details.
When Does Pokémon TCG Pocket’s Ruler of the Skies Expansion Launch?
The Ruler of the Skies expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket is set for release on Wednesday, July 29, though time zone differences mean it will land for others slightly earlier.
Releases in TCG Pocket are scheduled at 1 AM UTC time, which equates to evening for those in the United States, a very early morning for those in Europe, and late morning for those in Asia and Australia.

What’s Coming in The Ruler of the Skies Expansion?
Mega Rayquaza is the big focus of the next set in Pokémon TCG Pocket and features among a franchise-wide focus upon the legendary Pokémon.
Rayquaza and it’s mega form are also the focus of the next physical Pokémon TCG set, with Storm Emeralda launching in Japan in July, while the English version, Delta Reign, is scheduled for release in November.
This marks the first time that releases have coincided, though the TCG Pocket set will be released two days prior to the Storm Emeralda set in Japan.
The set is the fourth expansion of the B series in TCG Pocket and is expected to be the last major expansion, based on the A Series, though it will likely be followed by the usual B4a and B4b sets.
Card reveals in the trailer include special arts for Dragonair and Genesect, alongside Mega forms for Rayquaza and Metagross.
