Okay, so here’s the scoop — Pokémon Company International dropped a bombshell, like, a juicy one. They’re rolling out this Wisdom of Sea and Sky thingamajig in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. Yeah, it’s hitting our screens next week. Mark it: Wednesday, July 30, 2025. Seriously, I’m not making this up.
Picture it: beloved Pokémon from way back in the Johto region, you know, the ones from Gold and Silver? Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile — those cuties are back. Oh, and the big guns — Lugia and Ho-Oh. Legendary stuff, right?
Now, here’s what caught my eye — and I don’t even play the game, but hey — Pokémon with zero-energy attacks are joining the battlefield. Means you get to mess around with deck-building strategies like never before. I don’t know why this excited me. Maybe I love a good curveball.
The game’s trade system is getting a makeover too. Yeah, finally. So, Wishlist Feature — you can now share cards you want to trade. Navigate to the My Cards screen, drop up to 20 cards in your wishlist, and boom, spotlight three of them on your profile. Trading just got… personal?
But wait, there’s more! They’re killing off trade tokens. Poof. Gone. And now it’s all about something called shinedust (no idea who named this, but I’ll bite). So, you grind through missions or get duplicates of your cards to snag this sparkly dust and swap rare cards. Trade like a boss, right? Oh, and if you’ve got trade tokens lying around, trade them in for pack hourglasses and shinedust in the shop. But heads up, no more trading cards for tokens when Wednesday, July 30, dawns.
By the way, if you’ve somehow missed the memo, Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket is up for grabs on the App Store and Google Play — Android folks, this means you too. So go download and dive in.
And I guess there’s a trailer or something out there, but honestly, I got sidetracked by these updates. So — anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, I wonder if any player’s wishlist is as chaotic as mine would be. Probably a mess.
In the words of a certain Pokémon Trainer, there’s no time like now. Or was it later? Anyway — I’m off. Maybe.
