Pokémon TCG Pocket Update in January 2025 - that is in the new patch
The update offers a mixture of highly expected functions, some of which have been missed since the release of the mega successful Pokémon Pocket TCGS. This is in the big update of January 29, 2025:
- Exchange: Players can exchange tickets with friends for the first time - unfortunately has.
- New "Space-Time Smackdown": Over 140 new cards, including legendary Pokémon such as Dialga Ex and Palkia Ex.
- New Pokémon tool cards: Additional strategic options through equipment cards that reinforce Pokémon or activate special effects.
- Exklusive Artworks: Special illustrated cards from Gen-4-Pokémon such as Chelast, Panflam, Plinfa ensure highlights in the set.
- Extended solo fights: New challenges and rewards in popular PVE mode.
- Balancing improvements: Adjustments for a fairer gaming experience in PvP and PVE.
The unexpected highlight:While exchange function and new set are advertised as the big innovations, it is the solo mode that triggers enthusiasm among the coaches. Solo fights make it possible to compete against AI opponents without the pressure of a PvP match. With the update, new decks and challenges are added that offer both beginners and experienced players fresh incentives.
"Thought I was the only one who is looking forward to solo fights!"
The community has already made its priorities clear. OnRedditA Winnie-Puh-Meme ensures plenty of likes, which represents the solo fights as a "upscale choice" and the exchange function as "well". The contribution has collected more than 6,000 upvotes, and the top comment-"Thought I was the only one who is looking forward to solo fights!“-became liked over 1,000 times.
Therefore solo on the way:It is particularly appreciated that solo fights leave space for experiments. You don't have to play the best meta decks in Pokémon Pocket. Trainers can test and optimize their decks in peace without worrying about the outcome of a match. ""Solo fights are like PvP, only without the stress of disappointing real opponents“A player describes aptly.
- "I hope you will expand the solo missions with a real single player experience at some point, such as a campaign with arenal ladders or the top four. That would just be awesome! " -woozie101
- “Solo fights reward you with so many resources, especially shop tickets. That alone makes her worthwhile. ” -Kazememsuta
- "I love trying different decks and testing new cards." -Dandadan88
- “The challenges are perfect to get creative. Finally fun again without stress! ” -Unhappy_Geologist_94
- In the solo fights, the “happiness” of the AI only disturbs on the toughest difficulty.
Why does it not exchange the highlight: The exchange function was one of the most desired features since Pokémon Pocket was released, but the restrictions have disappointed. In particular, the rule that only cards of the same rarity can be exchanged, and the use of resources such as "Trade Hourglasses", the hourglass, make it less flexible than hoped. What thehave hope.
