Pokémon Card Game Pocket will launch a new expansion called “Dual Fusion” on the 29th as part of its second‑anniversary update, The Pokémon Company announced on the 20th. The mobile title, developed jointly by Creatures Inc. and DeNA, will roll out new collection content, battle features, and a slate of anniversary rewards timed around the release.
Dual Fusion introduces dual‑type cards — Pokémon that carry two types on a single card for the first time — and the expansion’s card list includes Mega Mewtwo X ex, Mega Greninja ex, Mega Dragonite ex, plus Pikachu ex, Typhlosion ex, and Mew ex. Classic starters Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise return with fresh artwork. Collection content adds a special pack called “First Partner,” which gathers the starter partners from the nine Pokémon regions; each pack contains one card, guarantees a rare, and is opened using a weekly rechargeable special power.
On the battle side, Pocket is adding rental decks and elite decks so players can use strong decks regardless of their personal collection. Rental decks will include Pikachu ex, Mega Mewtwo X ex and Mega Greninja ex, while elite decks offer opportunities to obtain cards such as Mega Rayquaza ex. A new “Someone’s Deck” feature lets players view and copy popular decks or friends’ decks. System improvements cover private match rule settings, improved trade and gifting functions, and an expanded My Deck capacity. A new limited battle mode forces deckbuilding from a specified card pool.
Anniversary rewards begin immediately after the expansion: players receive Dual Fusion expansion exchange tickets starting on the 30th, and exchanged packs guarantee one 2‑star card. Pocket will run a “Reprint PROMO Event 2026” to reissue past promo cards and missions that hand out trainer cards for battle use. A 10‑day login campaign called “PikaPika! Pikachu Mission” grants an immersive Pikachu ex, a dedicated pack and related goods; the immersive card’s special illustration was created by graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN. Events continue into November with a Dual Fusion Emblem event, Bonus Week and the first Promo Card Pack C series battle events; on November 1 Pocket adds a Greninja collection file and board, and December brings a global Rank Match Season C1.
Why it matters
Takeaway: new rental and elite decks plus the 30th exchange‑ticket guarantee make high‑tier cards like Mega Mewtwo X ex and Pikachu ex usable for more players right away, while the First Partner pack and promo reprints target collectors hunting specific art and legacy promos.
