Pokémon TCG Pocket, the mobile hit from DeNA and Creatures Inc., is thriving with its Extradimensional Crisis (A3a) booster pack, released May 29, 2025, per @SerebiiNet on X. Adding over 100 cards, including Ultra Beast ex variants like Buzzwole ex and Nihilego ex, this expansion has revitalized digital deck-building, per GameRant’s May 29, 2025, roadmap. Players chasing pokemon cards are flocking to the app, with a June 4-14 Ultra Beast Drop Event offering Necrozma ex rewards, per Game8’s June 4, 2025, calendar.
Ultra Beasts Shake Up Digital Meta
Extradimensional Crisis introduces powerful Ultra Beasts, with Tapu Koko ex and Alolan Dugtrio ex sparking new decks, per Game8. CardChill’s June 2025 tests show Buzzwole ex dominating 60% of ranked matches, outpacing Mew ex decks (20%), thanks to its high-damage attacks. The event’s solo battles reward players with Ultra Necrozma ex, a meta-shifter with 200+ damage potential, per Reddit’s r/PokemonTCG (June 6, 2025). @PokeSignals on X hypes the “insane pull rates,” though unverified. The A3b Themed Booster, set for June 26, 2025, promises another 100+ cards, per GameRant, keeping momentum high.
Community and Accessibility Wins
Pokémon TCG Pocket’s free-to-play model, with premium missions like Zeraora promos, per @SerebiiNet, contrasts with physical TCG’s scalping woes (Destined Rivals Booster Boxes at $180-$220, eBay). Trading, live since January 30, 2025, per GameRant, lets players swap A3a cards, boosting engagement. Reddit praises the app’s accessibility, avoiding Prismatic Evolutions’s $120-$140 Elite Trainer Box hunt (eBay, June 2025). @PokemonRestocks warns physical collectors of Black Bolt/White Flare pre-order sellouts, while digital players enjoy consistent updates.
