TCGP Players Face January Deadline for Pokedex Completion

Trainers worldwide are racing against time in Pokemon TCG Pocket, as reports indicate a crucial deadline approaching for completing the current Pokedex collection. With the next major expansion reportedly launching in January 2025, players have limited time to collect all cards from the Genetic Apex set.

The current collection challenge features a special reward that has caught the attention of many players - a beautifully designed Mew card, which becomes available upon completing the Kanto Pokedex. This collectible stands in stark contrast to the current meta-dominant Mewtwo ex card, offering aesthetic value over competitive advantage.

Players across the community have reported varying degrees of progress in their collection journey. Even with substantial card collections exceeding 1,100 cards, many trainers still find themselves missing basic Pokemon like Kakuna and Nidoking. The absence of a trading system has made completion more challenging, with players carefully managing their pack points between collecting needs and chase cards.

According to Centro Leaks, a reliable source in the Pokemon community, while a mini-release is expected in mid-December, the next major expansion comparable to Genetic Apex is scheduled for January 30, 2025. This upcoming deadline has created a sense of urgency among collectors who wish to complete their current Pokedex before new cards are introduced.

The game's current meta heavily features Mewtwo ex, which has dominated the PvP scene. However, many players are more focused on collecting every available card rather than building competitive decks, highlighting the diverse ways enthusiasts engage with Pokemon TCG Pocket.
