You will be able to trade cards from even the most recent booster packs.
In addition to cards of ♢–♢♢♢♢ and ⭐️ rarities, ⭐️⭐️, Shiny 1, and Shiny 2 rarity cards will also become eligible for trading.
● Improvements to the Wonder Pick feature
Cards from the most recent expansion that you have not obtained will now appear more often in wonder picks.
The number of cards you currently own will now be displayed on each card in Wonder Pick.
We have also released a video showcasing the details of the updates.
Please have a look:
New Mega Rising: Mega Gyarados, Mega Rising: Mega Blaziken, and Mega Rising: Mega Altaria booster packs will be available on Thursday, October 30, 2025.
