Pokemon TCG Pocket Celebrates 6 Months With 120 Free Hourglasses & Rayquaza ex Drop Event

Believe it or not, it’s been about six months since Pokemon TCG Pocket first launched into the world. Since then, we’ve opened a staggering number of digital card packs and enjoyed six new booster pack sets. Now, because Pokemon loves a half-year celebration, the update that brought us the new Celestial Guardians set also delivered a brand-new set of Special Missions. These missions celebrate Pokemon TCG Pocket hitting six months by offering players a ton of rewards in exchange for pretty routine in-game tasks like logging in, opening packs, and more.

The Special Missions debut alongside a new Solo Battle drop event, this time featuring Rayquaza EX. That makes two big events and tons of rewards for players to earn for this half-year celebration in Pokemon TCG Pocket. Let’s break down all the details so you can plan your in-game time and earn all the rewards before the events end!

The new Pokemon TCG Pocket Special Missions start today, April 30th, and run until May 29th, giving players just about a month to complete the tasks. The Special Missions will earn players a Special Event 2025 emblem, several new accessories, and a Rayquaza EX promo card. Meanwhile, the new Rayquaza Drop Event starts today, April 30th, and runs until May 13th. In total, there are over 120 Pack Hourglasses on offer, enough to open quite a few of those brand new booster packs… or catch up on older sets if you’ve fallen behind.
