Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has had its fair share of ups and down since its launch in 2024. The card-collecting game’s monthly updates were hot-and-miss early in its life, oscillating between game-changing booster packs and total filler like the dreaded Deluxe Pack ex. It has been on a hot streak in 2026, though, thanks to a steady stream of exciting packs that have introduced Mega Shinies, Paradox monsters, and Stadium cards to the mix. That, plus some overdue quality-of-life improvements, have kept me playing Pokémon TCG Pocket every day.

The mobile game’s most recent update, however, isn’t quite so exciting. Everyday Wonders, the game’s latest booster pack, is an underwhelming update that struggles to appeal to both card-collectors and competitive battlers. It’s a small misstep, but one that has me wondering how much gas........
