Pokémon TCG Pocket Launches Lightning Outbreak

Author : Gabriella Feb 09,2026
  • Pokémon TCG Pocket's latest mass-outbreak event is now live.
  • Lightning-type Pokémon are featured in this new event.
  • Collect cards with unique flair and get opportunities for newer ones through Wonder and Rare Picks.

Devout Pokémon TCG Pocket players have plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks. With the next major expansion on the horizon, the game is ramping up excitement with a series of new in-game events, including the Lightning-type Mass Outbreak!

As a reminder, the latest expansion, Secluded Springs, is scheduled for release this month. But before that, several events are worth checking out. The current mass outbreak event increases the appearance rate of Lightning-type Pokémon in rare and bonus picks.

This not only improves your chances of obtaining Lightning-types like Lanturn and Tapu Koko but also allows you to acquire brand-new card flair through exchanges. The mass-outbreak event runs until the 31st, giving you ample time to dive in and start collecting.

All the standard mass-outbreak rules apply here, including missions to earn shop tickets by using Wonder Pick and collecting specific cards. So if you aim to expand your collection before Secluded Springs launches, this event presents your best opportunity for now.

It serves as an excellent way to prepare for the upcoming expansion. Secluded Springs will introduce legendary Pokémon like Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, along with others from the Johto and Hoenn regions, ensuring a packed September for players.

If you need something to keep you engaged before Secluded Springs releases, you can always explore options beyond the App Store with our feature of the same name. This week, Will Quick delves into the strange world of Ozwomp's Voyage, a title available outside the iOS App Store and Google Play.
