The Pokémon Company has announced the Pokémon TCG Pocket Pulsing Aura expansion launches on April 27 featuring Mega Lucario and Mega Sceptile. There will also be various new cards, including Mega Lucario ex, Mega Sceptile ex, and Vaporeon ex, and Pulsing Aura will feature Trainer cards designed to enhance Fighting‑type Pokémon in battle.
Going forward, a new gold frame will be available with Pokémon TCG Pocket Pulsing Aura and subsequent releases. Gold frames will be available as a type of flair for ◆, ◆◆, and ◆◆◆ rarity cards.
