What’s Coming in The Team Rocket’s Ambition Expansion?
The Team Rocket’s Ambition expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket, as the name suggests, is focused on Team Rocket, and sees the debut of Owner’s Pokémon in the game.
Reveals of the cards so far include Team Rocket-owned Pokémon, including Houndoor, Mewtwo, Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, and Persian, alongside standard non-trainer owner Pokémon.
The set is the first mini-expansion of the B4 era in TCG Pocket, following on from last month’s Ruler of the Skies, and will be smaller in size compared to its predecessor.
It’s expected to be followed by another similarly sized set next month, before the shift out of the ‘B’ era in TCG Pocket altogether later this year.
