Exciting New Mythical Island Booster Pack Featuring Mew to Launch in Pokémon TCG Pocket

The Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has exciting news for its players. A new themed booster pack called Mythical Island, featuring the beloved character Mew, is set to launch on December 17. This announcement comes alongside the impressive milestone of over 60 million downloads for the digital trading card game.

In a vibrant trailer released by Creatures Inc., participants are encouraged to set out on a fanciful adventure to enchanting territories as the Mythical Island pack goes live within the app. Users can enhance their digital collections with Mew ex and a variety of other cards. The anticipation for this new release is palpable among fans.

Mythical Island is designed to be a more compact set compared to its predecessor, Genetic Apex. It will include over 80 cards, featuring five ex cards, five Trainers, and at least two new Immersive Cards. While many details are still under wraps, both Mew ex and Aerodactyl ex are confirmed to be part of this new collection, alongside fresh designs of existing Pokémon and entirely new characters.

Launched on October 30, Pokémon TCG Pocket has become a notable success for Creatures Inc. and The Pokémon Company, generating approximately $200 million in its first month. Adopting a traditional mobile and free-to-play model, the game initially rewards players generously, but this tends to slow down, making in-game purchases the primary means to regain that initial excitement.

To complete the Genetic Apex collection, which officially boasts 226 cards, players who choose not to spend any money might find themselves on a lengthy two-year journey. For those willing to invest, attaining the full set could cost around $1,500.
