You wanted Johto? Missed it again. Pokémon TCG Pocket has just launched its third main set, titled Astral Guardians, featuring Solgaleo and Lunala as the headliners. It's almost a month since the Radiant Revelry themed boosters were available on the mobile app, so it's no surprise that a new expansion is on the way. The Pokémon Company and DeNA have hit their stride to keep players sufficiently captivated. Since physical card shortages are struggling to be filled, what better way to encourage collectors to consume than monthly mobile expansions. Can't find Prismatic Evolutions, Adventures Together, or Destined Rivalries cards in stores? Well, here are some new virtual cards to console you.
Astral Guardians?
Brownel, Litten, Otaquin, Alolan forms, and even an immersive Lillie card: the Astral Guardians expansion is going all out with sublime visuals and striking mechanics. TCG fans will not have failed to notice the presence of the Super Candy item, finally added to the mobile game, which will also allow you to evolve a basic Pokémon into a level 2 Pokémon, without going through level 1. Suffice to say that this third set promises to shake up the daily lives of users, whether they are players or collectors.
If you are already eager to start this new collection, now is the time to get your hands on your first cards. The Astral Guardians boosters have been available since Wednesday, April 30, 2025. As with previous updates, the boosters were activated from 7 a.m. (French time). If they do not appear on your application, you will need to launch the update manually from the AppStore or the Play Store and restart the game.
Events to celebrate the launch
From Wednesday, April 30 to Tuesday, May 13, trainers will be able to take part in an exclusive loot event in the solo battles tab, which will allow them to obtain new promo cards, including a sublime Rayquaza-ex. Premium battle pass holders will be able to take advantage of special missions from April 30 to May 29, to obtain additional rewards in the store, such as new accessories as well as another Rayquaza-ex promo card. As a reminder, the release of the Astral Guardians expansion also marks the transition of Radiant Revelry cards to the trade eligibility list. So remember to save your trade tokens to complete your set as quickly as possible.
