Pokémon TCG Pocket kicks off Ultra Beast expansion with Extradimensional Crisis arriving soon
Bigger, better, more beastly
- Pokémon TCG Pocket's latest expansion goes live on May 29th
- It introduces the Ultra Beasts, Pokémon from a different dimension
- These powerful new Pokémon boast dangerous abilities and come alongside a roster of additional cards
Pokémon TCG Pocket's next expansion is right around the corner, arriving in a timely manner on May 29th. What's included? Well, nothing less than the introduction of Ultra Beasts when the new expansion, Extradimensional Crisis, goes live next month!
But what exactly is an Ultra Beast? Well, these Pokémon were introduced back in Pokémon Sun and Moon, and originate from wormholes to other dimensions. Extremely powerful and not particularly happy about being ripped from their homeworld, they present a potent new addition to the Pokémon TCG Pocket roster.
Unfortunately, while there is a trailer and official socials announcement, Pokémon TCG Pocket hasn't yet released a full news post detailing everything being added. But at just a glance, the trailer shows off some fan-favourite Pokémon from the Ultra Beast lineup such as Buzzwole, Nihilego, Celesteel and Guzzlord. There's also a new trainer in the form of Lusamine, and a bunch of other additions that'll be made available in the expansion.
Minutiae aside, it seems pretty clear that Extradimensional Crisis will be focused firmly on the Alolan region once more, and specifically all of the content from Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. But for the moment, more details are a bit scarce.
Still, regardless, these are some great new additions to the Pokémon TCG roster (and a perfect opportunity for old-school fans to be flabbergasted at how many new Pokémon have been added!) So if you needed a reason to jump in this summer, be sure to check in on May 29th when this expansion goes live!
