The notification popped up: “Deluxe EX Pack Available!” A wave of anticipation washed over me—had the wait actually ended? After what felt like an eternity saving those precious pack hourglasses, the exclusive Deluxe EX pack for Pokémon TCG Pocket was finally back.
The Deluxe Pack EX (A4b), initially released in September 2025, disappeared almost as quickly as it arrived. Now, the chance to snag some elusive cards has returned, and it’s time to crack those packs!
This pack is a treasure trove, combining cards from previous expansions like Genetic Apex to Wisdom of Sea and Sky. It’s a golden opportunity to fill gaps in your collection. Here’s a breakdown to pinpoint which cards are most worth hunting.
The Hunt Begins: Chase Cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket Deluxe Pack EX
It’s like panning for gold; every pack holds the potential for striking it rich. The Pokémon TCG Pocket Deluxe Pack EX boasts a staggering 379 cards. Every single one is a reprint from the Genetic Apex (A1) through Wisdom of Sea and Sky (A4) sets. That means every Pokémon EX card from those sets is up for grabs. The thrill of the chase is definitely on.
