Pokémon TCG Pocket adds a new card format this October: dual-type cards. Multiple outlets report that the update is announced for the mobile Pokémon Trading Card Game title and begins with a specific card, Mega Mewtwo X ex.
According to the announcements covered by Nintendo Life and Polygon, the initial dual-type card is Mega Mewtwo X ex, described as both Psychic- and Fighting-type. Both outlets frame this as a meaningful change because it introduces a “dual-type” design into the game’s card pool rather than relying on the standard single-type approach.
While the coverage agrees on the timing and the starting card, the articles differ mainly in emphasis. Nintendo Life highlights the first look and the starting point for the feature, whereas Polygon characterizes the addition as “game-changing.” Neither outlet provides additional details in the supplied excerpts beyond the introduction of dual-type cards and the October rollout beginning with Mega Mewtwo X ex.
