The next expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket is almost upon us, with dozens of new cards set to hit the game later this week, including a whole host of Johto-themed cards, as well as the first Baby Pokémon in the game.
New sets typically come in two sizes, full expansions with two or more booster packs, and limited themed boosters, which only have one booster pack and are about half the size of a full expansion. Wisdom of Sea and Sky, the new expansion, will be the former, as it’s a full expansion – likely marked A5 – with two booster sets based on Ho-Oh and Lugia.
The Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion will be released in Pokémon TCG Pocket later this week, so we’ve put together all the information you need to know about the release, including the Wisdom of Sea and Sky release date, as well as the release time for Wisdom of Sea and Sky, and the currently confirmed cards for the Wisdom of Sea and Sky set.
The next expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, Wisdom of Sea and Sky, will be released on July 30, 2025 in all regions.
This is in line with the monthly cadence for new expansions TCG Pocket has seen since its release last year, with new sets usually launching near the end of each month.
