The expansion titled Crimson Blaze is going to come along with a power injecting Mega Evolution into the Pokémalls of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. The most awaited expansion of all time through the adoption of the primary Mega Evolved forms in the original Kanto starters will be arriving on December 17. Further, it is developed by Creatures Inc. and DeNA, this mobile title has giving overwhelming popularity since its release in October 2024, with surpassing earlier financial statistics making the release of such an update almost mandatory with a huge depreciated game player-the community.
Introduced in this major expansion would be Mega Venusaur EX, Mega Blastoise EX, and Mega Charizard Y EX: cards that could potentially redefine the competitive meta-current scenarios as they offer high damage high HP alternatives-forcing probably existent EX versions obsolete. Among them, Mega Charizard Y EX garners One look in a million at all eyes in the house. Hot at 220 HP, its deadly “Crimson Dive” attack that entails four energies sports a staggering 250 damage, thereby bringing to Knock Out nearly any standard Pokémon in the game in one turn-in doing this. Such raw offensive prowess comes at a great price: 50 damage back to Charizard for every use.
The remaining Mega Evolution slots fabricates alternative strategies. Mega Blastoise EX charges into the fray with whopping HP of 230, culling weight with his “Triple Bombardement” attack-with direct damage boon of up to 180 points and endowed utility, extending damage effects of 50 points against two of the opponent’s Benched Pokémon when fully charged. In contrast, Mega Venusaur EX single-handedly commands the highest durability out of the trio with 250 HP. Boasting the exclusive element of “Critical Bloom,” this attack visages 120 damage as well as lays on the victim two debilitating status conditions: Asleep and Poisoned.
On top of this, Crimson Blaze launches an important bunch of Trainer and Item cards that will give the power-wielding Mega Evolutions feature access into deck builds. The Serena Supporter Card lets the user pull a random Mega Evolution Pokémon card, thus facilitating swift setup, whereas the Quick-Grow Extract Item Card functions to allow Grass-type decks to bypass all the preceding stages of evolution, chaining a Mega Evolution card directly onto an eligible Pokémon in play. Beyond that, the expansion completes the listing with other new versions of base-stage Pokémon and their succeeding evolutions set to include, but not limited to, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charmander, Solosis, and Trubbish. Such a concerted incoming of all these very impactful cards ensures that Pokémon TCG Pocket seeks to develop its competitive scene aggressively as they step into the new year.
