When Does Mythical Island Release in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
The highly anticipated Mythical Island booster pack for *Pokemon TCG Pocket* is scheduled to launch on December 17th at 1 a.m. Eastern Time, coinciding with the game's daily reset. Alongside Mythical Island, players can also look forward to the release of the Genetic Apex set packs. It's important to note that Mythical Island is still part of the A1 collection, but it remains uncertain whether players can use their accumulated Pack Points to acquire these new packs.
Notable Cards in Mythical Island
The Mythical Island pack is set to introduce over 80 new cards, with Mew Ex being a highlight.
