Pokemon TCG Pocket kicks off the Fighting-Type Pokemon outbreak

The Wonder Pick event in Pokémon TCG Pocket might be over, and we may have to wave goodbye to the Riolu promo, but now it is time to get those cards evolved! Until May 4th, you can get your hands on some punchy Pokémon in the Fighting-Type Mass Outbreak Event.

You can keep your overhyped fiery lizards and your tiny electric rodents, I will always choose Lucario. Luckily for me, and everyone else, I suppose, he is one of the characters popping up in this Outbreak. But let’s rewind a little bit and establish just what this whole shebang actually is. 

In a nutshell, until May 4th, you may come across Rare and Bonus Picks when you venture into the Wonder Pick screen. These will play host to a ton of Fighting-type Pokemon. Simple and straightforward, so it is time to take a look at just who has made the cut. 

The Rare Picks are being headlined by the best of cards, Lucario ex. You can also pick up Machamp from the Shining Revelry set. Space-Time Smackdown has sent their Lucario, along with Flamigo and Regirock. And finally, Sudowoodo from Triumphant Light, and Stonjourner from Mythical Island round out the picks.

In Bonus Picks, you will find mostly Shining Revelry candidates. Famigo, Machop, Machoke, Hitmonlee, the ridiculous Hitmonchan art, and Riolu will pop up. Hitmontop and Regirock from Space-Time Smackdown can be found alongside, once again, Sudowoodo and Stonjourner.

As a final treat, Lucario ex can be decorated with a special flair, the Tiny Twinkles Flair: Blue (Battle). It is a small effect, and one I am frankly trying to get excess Lucarios to acquire on two copies. Side note: as I write this, I just pulled a Beedrill ex, and I have never been more furious at a bee. 

Pokémon TCG Pocket is available to download from the App Store and Google Play.
