Look Sports Media – The Pokémon TCG Pocket community erupted after a surprising leak seemingly revealed details of the upcoming A4 update, following a disappointing silence during the recent Pokémon Presents showcase. An Italian Pokémon account inadvertently uploaded a trailer showcasing 14 cards, sparking widespread speculation and excitement across Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). The leaked footage, now widely circulated across the TCG community, points to a significant Gen 2 focus, with Ho-Oh and Lugia taking center stage.
The leaked trailer, quickly removed from the official YouTube channel, depicts a vibrant sea and sky theme. Ho-Oh EX, according to the leak, boasts an ability to redistribute Fire, Grass, and Lightning Energy from the Energy Zone to benched Basic Pokémon. Lugia EX, conversely, allows the removal of these same energy types from Pokémon in play. Other cards glimpsed or inferred from the video include a range of Gen 2 Pokémon and, intriguingly, the introduction of baby Pokémon like Pichu. While unconfirmed by The Pokémon Company, the potential implications are already being hotly debated within the community.
The lack of Pokémon TCG Pocket news during Pokémon Presents sent shockwaves through the fanbase. Many expressed frustration, given the game’s reported success. One content creator poignantly remarked, "This is the game that made them 1 billion in 6 months and they act like they don’t own it." However, the leaked A4 trailer, which also suggests a July 30th launch date, has seemingly quelled much of the initial disappointment.

Reddit discussions are buzzing with analyses of the leaked cards, particularly the strategic implications of Ho-Oh’s energy manipulation and Lugia’s energy removal. The potential for attaching energies to multiple Pokémon using Ho-Oh’s ability is a key point of discussion, alongside the impact of both legendary Pokémon having an energy cost of 3. The addition of baby Pokémon also opens up exciting new possibilities for players.
The source of the leak remains a mystery, with humorous speculation ranging from a disgruntled Italian Pokémon enthusiast to a simple oversight. Regardless of the origin, the leaked content has undeniably injected a significant dose of hype into the community, effectively overshadowing the initial disappointment from Pokémon Presents. The potential for a July 30th release date only further fuels the anticipation for the A4 update.
