Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket Pushes Past 30 Million Downloads, Tops App Store Chart

As a seasoned Pokémon enthusiast who’s been collecting and battling since the good old Game Boy days, I must say that the recent success of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket is nothing short of breathtaking! With over 30 million downloads in just under a week, it’s clear that the appeal of collecting, trading, and dueling with these adorable pocket monsters remains as strong as ever.


In just over a week since its debut, the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket has achieved an impressive feat: more than 30 million downloads. Moreover, it currently holds the top spot among free games on both the App Store and Google Play Store, surpassing popular mobile games such as Roblox and Monopoly Go.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that the Pokémon TCG (Trading Card Game) Official Account on X has unveiled an astounding download figure and expressed heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. Now, I find myself pondering: “Just how many booster packs have been opened by all of us enthusiasts?

Speaking of opening packs, there’s a wild theory spreading around about how to game the system while doing so. The thought is that when tearing open one of your daily free packs that you should inspect the packaging for any imperfections, like a bent corner. These will then lead to a greater chance for rare cards. However, perhaps unsurprisingly, internet response has been mixed on the success rate for utilizing this strategy.

On October 30th, the Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket app was released, following its initial announcement during Pokemon Day in February. This mobile game is designed to simplify the Trading Card Game experience by offering features like automatic deck building assistance and rentable decks.

Beyond just smartphones, it’s clear that the Pokemon phenomenon has flourished there as well. Just this week, Nintendo revealed that Pokemon game sales have surpassed 99 million units on Switch. The next big installment in the series, titled Pokemon Legends Z-A, is scheduled for release in 2025.
