What is the Release Date for Pokemon TCG Pocket: Shining Revelry?

Shining Revelry arrives in Pokemon TCG Pocket on March 27 at 2:00 AM Eastern Time. This coincides with the game's daily reset, making it the logical time for the new booster pack to become available.

It's important to note that this isn't a full expansion like Space-Time Smackdown. Similar to Mythical Island and Triumphant Light, this is more of a mini-set. The booster pack is labeled A2b, indicating it was initially intended for release alongside Space-Time Smackdown (coded A2), the game's second major card expansion.

This set features many familiar Pokemon, but as the name implies, you can expect to collect their shiny variants. Notably, we've seen a black Charizard Ex and a primarily yellow Lucario Ex previewed.

Lucario experienced a major meta-game comeback with the Triumphant Light and Space-Time Smackdown sets, so it will be intriguing to see if Lucario Ex can carve out its own niche. Since Lucario already boosts Fighting-type damage (and this effect stacks), Lucario Ex has a high bar to meet to push the strategic boundaries further.

Finally, once Shining Revelry is live, players will be able to trade cards from the Triumphant Light set. Broader trading updates are scheduled for later in 2025, transitioning to a system that uses Shinedust for more flexible trades instead of Trade Tokens.

That covers everything you need to know about the release date and time for Shining Revelry in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
