Pokemon TCG Live is finally launching this coming June

The mobile version of the popular trading card game has been in development for quite a while.

Pokemon TCG Online’s days are coming to an end, as its replacement app Pokemon TCG Live is finally being released this June.

First announced back in 2021 , Pokemon TCG Live was slowly pushed further and further back into 2023. But now, The Pokemon Company has announced that after a long wait, the new version of the digital trading card game will be coming to mobile devices and PC on June 8. This came paired with the news that the previous version of the TCG, Pokemon TCG Online, will be shutting down a few days prior on June 5.

According to a press release, Pokemon TCG Live “offers beginner and veteran players a fun and accessible way to experience the Pokémon TCG, including various gameplay modes, daily quests, customizable avatars and Pokémon TCG accessories, as well as fan-favorite activities like building decks and battling friends.”

If you’re wondering what the differences between the two games are, there are a few, though they’re not monumental. One of the biggest changes is that digital packs now only give you five cards per pack, and there is a limit of how many of the same card you can own - though any extras you get turned into crafting materials, which let you make cards you don’t own.

Pokemon TCG Live is launching on Android, iOS, and PC this June 8.
