Players will soon be able to share their decks with other players using 2D pattern codes. Furthermore, with this update, if certain conditions are met when opening a Booster Pack, the next time you open a pack from the same expansion, a ♦♦♦♦ or higher card is guaranteed.
The update also implements a change to the card dex.
"When you obtain a card included in multiple booster packs, it will be registered in the card dex for all corresponding booster packs." The update note reads. "This change will also apply to cards you already own."
The note also revealed upcoming events.
Pokémon TCG Pocket event schedule: July–August roadmap
The update note regarding the expansion also lists four events. The first of these goes on from late July to late October. Players can complete handy card collection missions to obtain Trainer Cards to support deck strategies for Sabrina, Leaf, and Red.
From late July to early August, logging in and completing Summer Event Missions will earn you rewards. These include Booster Packs among other items.
Afterwards, in an early-to-mid August event, players can participate in the Ruler of the Skies Emblem Event. One can defeat other players in battle to earn emblems and complete missions to earn stardust.
Additionally, there will also be a Community Week event meant for trading and sharing cards, which can earn you rewards.
Finally, the Mega Houndoom ex Drop Event will arrive in mid- to late August. During this time, players can complete solo battles to win B series vol. 11 promo packs.
The Pachirisu and Beldum cards will also be available during the coinciding Wonder Pick event.
