This announcement follows the release of Team Rocket’s Ambition Expansion in TCG Pocket this week. Here’s the rundown:
“Team Rocket’s Pokémon are the highlights of this expansion, with card art featuring the team’s iconic logo and Team Rocket grunts concocting silly schemes alongside their Pokémon. There will also be some unique Team Rocket Trainer cards you can use to power up your decks!
“Make your new cards even more intimidating with covers and backdrops featuring Team Rocket’s Boss and his Persian, available on Monday, August 31, 2026.”
PokémonXP is currently taking place alongside the 2026 World Championships in San Francisco, California. You can see some other announcements in our previous post:
