Pokémon TCG Pocket Launches Metal Outbreak Event

Pokémon TCG Pocket Launches New Metal-Type Mass Outbreak Event

Pokémon fans have another exciting event to enjoy this summer alongside upcoming Pokémon GO adventures and the much-anticipated Ultra Beasts debut. The current Mass Outbreak event puts the spotlight on Metal-type Pokémon, including the newly introduced Solgaleo.

This limited-time event features increased appearances of Metal-type Pokémon in Rare and Bonus picks, with Solgaleo taking center stage after its recent debut in the Celestial Guardians expansion. Players can also obtain special card customizations during the event.

Event Bonuses and Rewards

Special themed missions offer shop tickets as rewards, which can be used for Wonder Picking or obtaining specific cards. Complete mission details and objectives appear on your in-game mission screen, providing multiple opportunities to expand your collection.

Trading Card Alternatives

While the game's trading system still has limitations, Mass Outbreak events serve as an excellent alternative for acquiring desired cards. The current event presents a prime opportunity to collect powerful Metal-type cards, including the legendary Solgaleo.

Competition in Digital Card Gaming

With Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and Duel Links World Championship qualifiers approaching, Pokémon TCG Pocket's event comes at a crucial time to retain players. The upcoming Ultra Beasts release and events like this Mass Outbreak aim to keep the Pokémon community engaged.
