THE POKEMON COMPANYIt’s been revealed that the upcoming Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion will be based on Gen 7, featuring creatures from the Alola region and its Legendaries: Solgaleo and Lunala, and it’s coming soon.
Get your sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen ready because Pokemon TCG Pocket is taking players to the tropical archipelagos of the Alolan region with its latest set, Celestial Guardians.
Unlike the Shining Revelry expansion, which added only 111 cards to the game, this one will be huge, with over 200. Among them, you’ll find the starters – Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio, both Legendaries, Solgaleo and Lunala, Alolan Trainers, new ex cards, and the first immersive Supporter card.
Celestial Guardians release date
According to the information published by the official Pokemon TCG Pocket social media channels, the Celestial Guardians expansion will be released on April 30, 2025, at 6:00 AM UTC.
This translates to the following times depending on where you live:
April 29

April 30
- 2:00 AM ET
- 3:00 AM BRT
- 6:00 AM BST

This means that players have less than a week to collect as many Pack Hourglasses as possible to then open a ton of booster packs once the expansion is released.
