Thu Mar 27 03:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Pokémon TCG Pocket Gets Shiny New Expansion: Shining Revelry

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 1, 2024** – The Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) Pocket is getting a sparkling upgrade with the release of its newest mini-set, *Shining Revelry*, launching March 27th. This surprise announcement introduces 110 new cards, including the highly anticipated addition of shiny Pokémon.

The expansion features 11 new Pokémon ex cards, bringing back fan favorites like Pikachu and Charizard alongside newer Pokémon from the *Scarlet* and *Violet* games. Notable inclusions are shiny versions of Charizard ex and Lucario ex, hinting at significant metagame shifts.

Charizard ex boasts two powerful moves: “Poker,” allowing energy binding, and “Steam Artillery,” dealing substantial damage. This new iteration offers a unique strategy, potentially making it less reliant on Moltres ex. Meanwhile, Lucario ex’s “Aura Sphere” allows for strategic attacks on both the active and benched Pokémon, synergizing well with control-focused Supporter cards like Sabrina and Cyrus.

The set aims to appeal to both nostalgic players and those familiar with the latest Pokémon games, offering a balanced mix of classic and new characters. The full card list, available via Bulbapedia and official press releases, promises exciting deck-building possibilities. Players are already anticipating the impact *Shining Revelry* will have on the game’s competitive landscape.
