"Pokemon TCG Pocket Unveils Shining Revelry, Hints at Ranked Matches"

The latest expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, Shining Revelry, has brought dazzling new shiny variants into the game, introducing over 110 new cards. This update includes additions from the Paldea region, sparking excitement among players eager to enhance their collections. With the expansion's release, I couldn't resist spending some of my hard-earned Pack Hourglasses to open ten packs. To my delight, I pulled a Charizard EX, though the rest of the haul was less impressive. However, finding Pokémon Center Lady among the cards was a small comfort; her ability to heal Special Conditions like Burns is a valuable asset in any deck.

Following the trend of previous expansions, Shining Revelry also introduces a new Emblem event, where players can earn badges to showcase to their friends. Additionally, the much-anticipated Ranked Matches are on the horizon. Players will compete against each other, progressing from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Points earned during these matches will be displayed, and at the end of the approximately one-month season, participants will be awarded an emblem. This feature has reignited my passion for deck-building and competitive play, prompting me to dust off my dueling skills.

If you're keen to dive into the excitement of Pokémon TCG Pocket, you can download it for free on the App Store and Google Play, though it does offer in-app purchases.
