Summary
- A Pokemon TCG Pocket leak reveals a potential upcoming distribution event for rare cards from Feb 27 to April 30.
- Players can obtain rare cards like Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo through the Genetic Apex Expansion event.
A new Pokemon TCG Pocket leak has revealed an upcoming distribution event that will give rare cards to players. Like physical cards, Pokemon TCG Pocket players can get a selection of rare cards to add to their collections. To do this, they open booster packs, counting themselves lucky to pull these coveted cards or gather enough pack points to craft them.
Pokemon TCG Pocket cards are divided by rarity, the lowest being one-diamond and the highest being the crown cards. While diamond cards have a 100% chance of appearing from the first to the third slot of a booster pack, crown cards only have a 0.040% chance of dropping in the fourth slot and a 0.16% chance of appearing in the fifth slot. Obtaining the rarest cards in the game requires a good dose of luck and patience, but a new leak brings promising news for players.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Features Multiple Throwbacks to Classic Games
A Pokemon TCG Pocket player finds cards with several references to classic games, and the community is delighted with the discovery.
According to a leak shared by Pokemon Zone, Pokemon TCG Pocket will have a distribution event giving away cards of rarity four-diamond upwards. The information says that the event will start on February 27, and three packs from the Genetic Apex expansion will be given away; one of Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo. While this will be a great chance for players to pull coveted cards, there is a twist: only the fifth card in each pack will be rare, with the others being regular. The leak also informs that players will have until April 30 to claim the packs in their Gift Box.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Leaked Genetic Apex Expansion Distribution Event Details
- Event date: February 27 to April 30
- Rewards: a Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo booster pack (guaranteed rare card in the fifth slot)
The four-diamond rarity cards in the Genetic Apex set are the regular ex, which includes popular names like Mewtwo, Blastoise, and Exeggutor. The one-star rarity are the full art rare cards, the two-star rarity are the full art ex and trainer cards, and the three-star rarity are the immersive Pokemon TCG Pocket cards. The crown rarity cards are the most difficult to see in the game and are the ex with golden backgrounds featuring Pikachu, Charizard, and Mewtwo.
As with other leaks, players should take this information with a grain of salt as there has been no official confirmation from the developers. In the meantime, other events are officially available. One of them is giving players new Pokemon TCG Pocket promo cards, including Cresselia ex. Like the Lapras event, this is the only way to get the ex variant of the Gen 4 Legendary. The other is the PvP event, which is giving away themed badges from the new Space-Time Smackdown expansion.
