The A2 expansion is set to release on January 29, 2025, just three months after Genetic Apex and six weeks after Mythical Island. This steady rollout of content ensures players have a continuous flow of new cards and mechanics to explore.

However, apart from the release date, no concrete details about the set's theme or specific cards have been confirmed, making room for a lot of speculation among the community.

Additionally, there are leaks that this upcoming set might have a brand-new rarity tier. Still, nothing has been confirmed and it has created a unique wave of excitement among players and collectors alike.

What cards could be in Pokemon TCG Pocket A2?

Although there is no official information about the cards in A2, many believe the set could focus on Johto Pokemon. This theory stems from the notable absence of Generation Two Pokemon in both Genetic Apex and Mythical Island (except for Celebi ex). If this speculation proves true, A2 might include:

• Baby Pokemon: Pichu, Cleffa, and Elekid could make their TCG Pocket debut.
• Johto Evolutions: Umbreon, Kingdra, Steelix, and other evolved forms of Kanto Pokemon.
• Legendary Pokemon: Iconic Johto Legendaries like Lugia, Ho-Oh, and the Legendary Dogs (Raikou, Entei, and Suicune).
• Popular Johto Pokemon: Fan-favorites like Togepi, Starters, and Tyranitar.

Additionally, Gym Leaders may reappear as Supporter cards, following their inclusion in the previous sets. Fans also anticipate reprints of the first Generation Pokemon, particularly those tied to Johto evolutions.

Pack Points and A2

For those wondering whether Pack Points from Genetic Apex or Mythical Island can be used for A2 cards, the answer is no. Pack Points are exclusive to the set they were earned from and cannot be carried over to redeem cards from other expansions. Players will need to accumulate new points specifically for A2.

If you're looking to open packs from older expansions after A2 launches, you’re in luck. Genetic Apex and Mythical Island packs will likely remain accessible. Simply navigate to the Pack Opening screen, select “Other Booster Packs,” and choose from the available expansions to continue building your collection.

While much of the excitement surrounding A2 is based on speculation, the confirmed release date and the potential for a Johto-themed expansion have already made it a hot topic. Stay tuned for official trailers and announcements in the coming weeks, which should shed more light on what to expect from Pokemon TCG Pocket's latest offering.
