The worlds of the Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon GO
collide in the Pokémon TCG: Pokémon GO expansion. Featuring artwork with
photorealistic styles and familiar elements from Pokémon GO, the expansion is certain
to remind you of the real-world adventures you can have in the mobile game.
Cool Pokémon VSTAR and Radiant Pokémon play a prominent role in the new
expansion, and players can find codes in expansion products to redeem for useful
items in Pokémon GO.
In the days leading up to the launch of the first Pokémon
GO expansion products, you’ll be able to jump into Pokémon GO to

A Pokémon GO in-game event taking place June 16, 2022, to
June 30, 2022, will provide Pokémon fans the opportunity to celebrate the new Pokémon
TCG: Pokémon GO expansion while playing. During the event, Pokémon
featured in the expansion will appear in the wild and in raids. Additionally, as
a nod to this Pikachu card from the expansion, Pikachu will
appear in Pokémon GO wearing the same blue hat.

Throughout the Pokémon TCG Crossover Event, Mewtwo will be
appearing in five-star raids. A Mewtwo V card in the expansion depicts the
Genetic Pokémon descending from the sky among tall buildings, implying that a raid
may be about to begin with the Trainers below. Wimpod and Golisopod make an
appearance in the expansion, too, and they’ll be making their Pokémon GO debuts
during this time to commemorate the occasion.

Some of the earliest Pokémon that could be caught when Pokémon
GO debuted in 2016 show up in the Pokémon TCG: Pokémon GO expansion. Bulbasaur,
Charmander, Squirtle, and their Evolutions boast powerful attacks and
Abilities, as well as dynamic, colorful artwork. Much of the art shows recognizable
moments from Pokémon GO—Ivysaur, for example, is depicted gathering with
several other Pokémon around a PokéStop equipped with a Lure Module.

Experience a similar joy to encountering Shiny Pokémon in
Pokémon GO with Radiant Pokémon in the new expansion. Radiant Venusaur, Radiant
Charizard, and Radiant Blastoise are as stunning as they are powerful. They’re
so impressive, in fact, that players can have only one in their deck at any
given time. Featuring devastating attacks and useful Abilities, Radiant Pokémon
bring a beautiful aesthetic to the gaming table.
The first products in the Pokémon
GO expansion arrive on July 1, 2022. When the expansion
becomes available, keep an eye out for codes that can be redeemed in exchange
for useful items in Pokémon GO, including special avatar items celebrating the
collaboration. You’ll be able to redeem these codes even after the Pokémon TCG
Crossover Event has concluded. Check out the full list of Pokémon GO expansion products launching
soon.
