Paldean Wonders brings 131 Gen-9 cards to PTCG Pocket Feb 25

Players hunting new Gen-9 ex cards should open Pokémon TCG Pocket on iOS or Android: Paldean Wonders, a themed booster pack with set code B2a that adds 131 cards to the game, went live with an official launch time of Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. PST. The Pokémon Company announced the set and explicitly noted that Paldean Wonders “includes the debut of the magical Meowscarada ex,” and that the app itself remains available to download after its October 30, 2024 release on mobile platforms.

The release timing has multiple timestamps in public trackers. Pokémon.com and Bulbagarden list the official launch as Feb 25 at 5:00 p.m. PST, which Bulbagarden converts to Thursday, Feb 26 at 1:00 a.m. UTC. Third-party trackers show alternate entries: PTCGPocket.gg lists a Release Date of February 26, 2026 at 6:00 a.m. UTC, and Game8 lists Feb 26, 2026. The Pokémon Company announcement is the primary source for the Feb 25, 5:00 p.m. PST time; PTCGPocket.gg and Game8 are explicit about their Feb 26 timestamps and should be read as secondary logs.

Paldean Wonders centers on Paldea region and Gen-9 content with named highlights players will chase in packs and events. The Pokémon Company marketing copy teases, “You’ll surely be feeling golden with a friend like Gholdengo ex surfing onto the scene and gathering the whole family with the enchanting Maushold.” Other explicit names called out across official and tracker pages include Meowscarada ex, Sprigatito and its Evolutions, Fuecoco, Quaxly, Pawmi, Paldean Clodsire, and Charcadet. Game8 frames B2a as the fifteenth overall expansion and the ninth themed expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket.

The launch ties into a slate of in-game promotions that run through March. PTCGPocket.gg lists a Paldean Orders Emblem Event in early March where players can “battle in Versus mode to earn exclusive medals and rewards.” Mid- to late-March events include a Charcadet Drop Event that awards “Promo B Series Vol. 5 booster packs” and an “exclusive Art Rare Charcoal card,” plus a Pawmi & Paldean Clodsire Wonder Pick Event described as a “Chansey-style Wonder Pick” that hands out Promo Pawmi, Promo Paldean Clodsire, and Arven-themed accessories.

Cosmetics and media rolled out alongside the set. Pokémon’s press text notes a new set of covers “featuring Sprigatito and its Evolutions and other Pokémon first discovered in the Paldea region, available starting Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 10:00 p.m. PST.” Bulbagarden and the official press assets supplied a trailer and preview images for booster packs, binders, and display boards, while Game8 and PTCGPocket.gg host card lists and previews for collectors tracking every inclusion.

With 131 cards entering the pool, the Paldean Wonders drop recalibrates what collectors and ranked players will open and play this month. The Pokémon Company announced the set with publisher support from DeNA, the official launch time of Feb 25 at 5:00 p.m. PST, and a schedule of follow-up events through March that will seed promo packs, art rares, and event accessories for anyone building a Gen-9 Paldea collection.
