Pokemon TCG Pocket Adds "Regular +1" Packs: Are They a Sneaky Peek at Mega Evolutions?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
*Pokemon TCG Pocket* has a new "Regular +1" booster pack that guarantees a baby Pokemon, leading some to believe it's a trial run for introducing Mega Evolutions into the game. Will this innovative pack structure pave the way for other valuable card types?
Right, so *Pokemon TCG Pocket* is shaking things up again, and this time it involves a new kind of booster pack. According to Game Rant, these aren't your run-of-the-mill, gotta-catch-'em-all packs. Nope, these are "Regular +1" packs, and they've got a little secret tucked inside.
See, *Pokemon TCG Pocket* already had Regular and Rare packs (the latter lovingly dubbed "God Packs" by the player base because, well, they're supposed to be divine). But now, there's this Regular +1. So what's the plus one? It's an extra card dedicated entirely to those adorable baby Pokemon. We're talking Cleffa, Igglybuff, the whole gang of miniature monsters.
Now, I'm no psychic, but this feels like more than just a cute addition. These packs contain six cards, unlike the standard five, with the sixth slot having a pretty decent chance (around 30%) of giving you a common baby Pokemon, and a 13% shot at a full-art version. Getting one of these isn't like pulling teeth either; they have a roughly 9% drop rate. Not bad, eh?
But here's where things get interesting. There's chatter, whispers in the digital wind, that this might be a precursor to something bigger. Something...*Mega*.
Rumors have been swirling about Mega Evolutions making their way into *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, potentially as a tie-in with *Pokemon Legends: Z-A* (dropping later this year, allegedly). And some clever folks reckon these Regular +1 packs could be how they introduce them. Think about it: Mega Evolutions, if they arrive, will likely be rare and highly sought after, just like these baby Pokemon are right now. Using the "+1" pack system would allow them to control the flow, keeping things exciting without flooding the market. It's like they're testing the waters to see if you like having a sixth card with special variants, but what if that sixth card was Mega Blastoise?
Of course, this is all speculation at this point. We'll have to wait for the upcoming A4a and A4b mini-sets to see if these theories hold water. Still, it's got me thinking. Is this just a nice little addition for baby Pokemon fans, or are we witnessing the groundwork for something far more…mega-nificent?
Whatever it is, I'm keeping my eye on those packs. You never know what kind of digital magic they might contain.
