The latest Mass Outbreak event in *Pokémon TCG Pocket* is now live, bringing with it a fresh wave of excitement for collectors and trainers alike. This time around, the spotlight is on Metal-type Pokémon, offering players increased chances to obtain Rare and Bonus picks featuring these powerful creatures. Among them is the recently added Solgaleo—a fan-favorite Steel-type that made its debut in the Celestial Guardians expansion.
If you're aiming to expand your collection with high-value Metal-type cards, this event offers the perfect opportunity. Not only can you strengthen your deck with strong and sought-after Pokémon, but you'll also have the chance to add some visual flair to your collection through special card variants.
Special Missions and Rewards
During the event, keep an eye out for exclusive themed missions that provide valuable rewards such as shop tickets. These tickets can be used for Wonder Picks or to help complete specific card sets, giving you more ways to boost your collection during the Mass Outbreak. All mission details are available directly from your in-game mission screen, so make sure to log in and take advantage of every opportunity.
Trading Places
While trading remains a point of contention due to ongoing issues, the Mass Outbreak event serves as a reliable alternative for obtaining rare and newly introduced cards like Solgaleo. It’s a welcome addition for players who want to build their decks without relying heavily on trades.
A Competitive Summer Season
This event arrives at a crucial time as *Pokémon TCG Pocket* faces rising competition for player attention this summer. With major events like the Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel and Duel Links WCS Qualifiers just around the corner, many digital card enthusiasts may shift focus temporarily. However, upcoming content like the arrival of Ultra Beasts and recurring Mass Outbreak events should help maintain engagement and give players compelling reasons to stay invested.
