Look Sports Media – Pokémon TCG Pocket is about to get a serious upgrade with the arrival of the Eevee Grove mini-expansion, launching June 26th at 7 am BST. This isn’t just another expansion; it’s a game-changer, centered around the beloved Eevee and its diverse Eeveelutions. Think of it as the mobile equivalent of the popular Prismatics Evolutions expansion for the physical TCG, but with a twist.
Over 100 new cards are joining the fray, but the real star is Eevee EX. While existing Eevee cards boast 60 HP, Eevee EX packs a punch with 90 HP and a surprisingly useful "Veevee Evolve" ability. This allows it to evolve like a regular Eevee, a crucial feature considering the ability to run four Eevees in a 20-card deck. This significantly increases the odds of getting the basic Eevee needed to evolve into your desired Eeveelution early in the game. This is a significant departure from other EX Pokémon like Pikachu, which lack this evolutionary flexibility.
The expansion also introduces new cards for all eight Eeveelutions, including Umbreon, Espeon, and Sylveon, the latter even getting its own EX card. Sylveon EX’s "Happy Ribbon" ability lets it draw two cards upon evolution, making it a powerful addition to any deck. However, its relatively low damage output (70 for two energy) suggests it’ll need a powerful partner, like Giratina EX.

But the excitement doesn’t stop with the Eeveelutions. Two new support cards are poised to shake up the meta. The Eevee Bag item offers versatility, boosting Eeveelution damage or healing them, while the Penny trainer card introduces a unique element of unpredictability by copying a random trainer card from the opponent’s deck. This could lead to some wildly unpredictable and potentially game-winning plays.
The introduction of these adaptable support cards suggests Eevee decks will need to be strategically diverse, potentially incorporating multiple Pokémon types thanks to the energy generation capabilities of many Eeveelutions. Get ready for a new era of Pokémon TCG Pocket, where the evolution of strategy is as important as the evolution of Eevee itself.
