Next Pokemon TCG Pocket expansion will mostly likey be Gen 7 themed, according to leaks

According to a leak shared by the X account @pokecamatomeru, two new cards — Solgaleo ex and Lunala ex — are reportedly set to headline the next expansion. The post includes a screenshot showing both cards, hinting at a Gen 7-themed release. If rumors are to be believed, the set will launch as early as April 30.

Reddit user u/xNightdazerX took it further, claiming that this expansion will be part of the next series of sets, possibly titled “Rising Hope” (A3), following the trio of the A2 series. With past expansions focusing on regional theming — like Genetic Apex featuring mostly Kanto Pokemon — it’s a solid bet that Rising Hope will spotlight the Alola region, with a few wildcards sprinkled in.

Will Solgaleo ex and Lunala ex change the Pokemon TCG Pocket meta?

Solgaleo ex is expected to be a Metal-type with 180 HP, likely possessing a powerful ability that could shift its viability in the current meta. This is especially exciting for players looking for variety, as Metal remains one of the less-represented types in competitive decks.

Meanwhile, Lunala ex, most likely a Psychic-type also boasting 180 HP, might stir more concern — Psychic cards are already dominant, and Lunala’s hinted ability could tilt the balance even further.

Whether you’re a collector or competitive player in Pokemon TCG Pocket, Rising Hope could be the set to watch.
