Pokémon TCG Pocket is bringing the A2 Expansion set on January 29, 2025

Pokémon TCG Pocket is getting closer to the A2 set that will bring with it change; it’s releasing on January 29, 2025. After the recent Genetic Apex (A1) and mini-expansion Mythical Island (A1a), A2 should generate enthusiasm for the collectible among fans and players of the game. With more than 230 new cards expected, this expansion may redefine the meta and take the game to new heights.

The A2 Expansion is set to introduce Rainbow Rarity

Sources have confirmed from X (formerly Twitter) that A2 will have new cards and the introduction of a brand-new rarity called Rainbow Rarity. These cards are said to sport stunning visuals and animations and have customization options that can be purchased in Shinedust.

While the actual card list is still a secret, the expansion is said to focus on Pokémon from the Johto region, which might introduce fan favorites like Lugia, Ho-Oh, Tyranitar, and the Legendary Beasts (Entei, Raikou, Suicune).

Although there is no official information about the cards in A2, many believe the set could focus on Johto Pokémon. This theory stems from the notable absence of Generation Two Pokémon in both Genetic Apex and Mythical Island (except for Celebi ex). If this speculation proves true, A2 might include:

• Baby Pokémon: Pichu, Cleffa, and Elekid could make their TCG Pocket debut.
• Johto Evolutions: Umbreon, Kingdra, Steelix, and other evolved forms of Kanto Pokémon.
• Legendary Pokémon: Iconic Johto Legendaries like Lugia, Ho-Oh, and the Legendary Dogs (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune).
• Popular Johto Pokémon: Fan-favorites like Togepi, the Johto Starters, and Tyranitar.

Additionally, Gym Leaders may reappear as Supporter cards, following their inclusion in the previous sets. Fans also anticipate reprints of the first Generation Pokémon, particularly those tied to Johto evolutions.

Why the A2 expansion is such a Big Deal

There are over 230 cards spread out among several booster packs, ensuring there’s something for everyone – be it the collector searching for the rarest of cards or the competitor trying to fine-tune his deck. With trading features and limited-time events coming in with the expansion, January will be a landmark month for the game.

A2 Expansion will affect the current Existing Sets in the game

Perhaps one of the most frequently asked questions regarding A2 is how this affects existing sets like Genetic Apex and Mythical Island. Older packs will reportedly be available for purchase, but points from these packs cannot be redeemed for cards from A2. This ensures a level playing field for all players diving into the new expansion but also encourages fans to focus on building their collections within each set.

This expansion pack for Pokémon TCG Pocket would probably be among the most dramatic updates the game has ever been able to show off. Now, imagine an A2 content packed with such exciting things: new mechanics; beautiful, colorful cards carrying Rainbow Rarity – and even content with the famous theme of the region, the Johto.

For whichever category of people, either young or experienced at the game, there’s an expectation with it. Mark your calendars for January 29, 2025, to get ready for the most transformative expansion yet for Pokémon TCG Pocket.
