The excitement is palpable with the latest expansion, Shining Revelry, now live in Pokémon TCG Pocket. This update dazzles with the introduction of shiny variants and over 110 new cards, including additions from the Paldea region. The allure of these shiny cards is undeniable, making every player eager to spend their Pack Hourglasses on a 10-pack pull. I, for one, couldn't resist and spent a good chunk of my resources to open ten packs. To my delight, I pulled a Charizard EX, but the rest of the haul was less exciting. However, finding Pokémon Center Lady in the mix was a small comfort, as her ability to heal Special Conditions is a handy trick, especially useful against debilitating effects like Burn.
As with previous expansions, Shining Revelry also introduces an Emblem event, allowing players to earn new badges to show off to friends. But the real thrill this time around is the upcoming Ranked Matches. Players will soon be able to battle other Trainers, climbing the ranks from Beginner to Master Ball Rank. Points earned will be displayed, and at the end of the approximately one-month season, participants will receive an emblem, adding a competitive edge to the game. It's time to dust off those dueling skills and start crafting those decks seriously.
