Extradimensional Crisis in Pokémon TCG Pocket: Should You Pull?

If you’ve been hoarding your Hourglasses, stacking Poké Gold, or saving those Premium Tickets for something actually worth it, well… this is the one.

‍

Extradimensional Crisis, the newest expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket, drops on May 29 and brings over 100 new cards to the game.

‍

We’re talking brand-new Pokémon ex cards, every Ultra Beast you remember from the Sun & Moon era, and some of the weirdest, most creative move names we’ve seen yet.

‍

This set is loaded with collector bait and spark-worthy pulls, especially if you’re chasing Immersive art, Crown Rares, or that perfect flex card.

‍

Whether you're here for the Ultra Beast hype, grinding for a spark, or just trying to open smarter during launch week, here’s what to know before you start pulling.

‍

Why Extradimensional Crisis Might Be the Wildest Set Yet

‍

This isn’t just another expansion… it’s a full-on Ultra Beast invasion.

‍

Extradimensional Crisis brings over 100 new cards to Pokémon TCG Pocket, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the boldest sets we’ve seen so far.

‍

You’ve got:

‍

• 11 Ultra Beasts straight from the Sun & Moon era (yes, Ultra Necrozma too)

• 4 brand-new Pokémon ex that could shake up both collection goals and the meta

• And, because this set wasn’t wild enough, musically-themed moves like “Jazz Boost” and “Trap Pulse” that make opening packs feel even more fun and unexpected

‍

For collectors, it’s a goldmine of Crown Rares, Immersive art, and flex-worthy pulls you’ll want to showcase the second they hit your binder.

‍

And for spenders, it’s the perfect storm… launch-week timing, fresh 10-pack bundles, and early Wonder Pick boosts when everyone’s racing to spark the newest EX.

‍

‍

When Will Extradimensional Crisis Go Live?

‍

The Extradimensional Crisis expansion officially launches on May 29 at 11:00 p.m. PDT. Depending on where you live, that means the packs will likely be available starting May 30 in your local time.

‍

If you’re aiming to hit the Wonder Pick window, plan to log in as soon as the set goes live. Day-one pull timing can make a big difference, especially if you’re trying to spark early or crack open Rare Packs while bonus odds are still active.

‍

Upcoming Events to Prepare For

‍

Extradimensional Crisis isn’t a one-day drop, it’s the start of a full-blown Ultra Beast season.

‍

Over the next few weeks, Pokémon TCG Pocket is rolling out a string of limited-time events loaded with promo cards, rare pick boosts, and exclusive shop rewards.

‍

If you’re serious about collecting or ready to chase your next spark, these are the windows to watch…

‍

1. Ultra Beast Drop Event (June 3 – June 13)

‍

Take on solo missions to earn special promo cards, including the highly anticipated Ultra Necrozma ex. These kinds of one-shot EX drops don’t come around often, so don’t miss it.

‍

2. Wonder Pick Event (June 11 – June 21)

‍

Use your Wonder Pick charges to grab limited-time cards like Poipole and Stufful. Complete missions during the event to earn event shop tickets, and pick up even more exclusives.

‍

3. Ultra Beast Mass Outbreak (June 22 – June 28)

‍

This is the one collectors will be watching. Ultra Beast-related cards will appear more frequently in Rare Picks and Bonus Picks, making this the best time to stack pulls and maybe even hit something spark-worthy (or wild like a God Pack).

‍

‍

How to Spend Smarter During the Drop

‍

If you’re planning to go all in on Extradimensional Crisis, don’t just throw Gold at random. This is the kind of set where timing, pack type, and pull strategy actually matter.

‍

Here’s how to make your Poké Gold go further:

‍

• Aim for 10-pack bundles. Not only do they feel better to open, they’re your best shot at triggering a Rare Pack, or if you’re extremely lucky, a God Pack.
  

• Use Premium Tickets wisely. If you’ve got some saved up, pair them with packs from this set to guarantee rare pulls without dipping into your Gold balance.
  

• Hold your Wonder Pick charges for day one. Boosted odds often apply right at launch, so using them early can land you higher-tier cards before the window closes.
  

• Avoid cosmetic traps, unless you’re already topped up. Those new sleeves and decks look great, but if your main goal is to pull Ultra Beasts or EXs, put your Gold where the packs are.

‍

‍

Want Your Pulls to Actually Pay Off?

‍

If you're looking for the best way to spend Poké Gold during the Extradimensional Crisis, don’t just rely on luck but set yourself up for value.

‍

Pulling smarter isn’t just about timing your Wonder Picks or choosing Rare Packs, it’s also about making sure your top-ups go further.

‍

And full-price bundles from the in-game store? They don’t cut it when you're trying to spark or chase a God Pack.

‍

‍

Before you go, don’t miss the official Extradimensional Crisis trailer. It gives a first look at 20 new cards, including all eleven Ultra Beasts and four fresh Pokémon ex.

‍

It’s the perfect way to get hyped before your first 10-pack pull.
