The Mega Evolution set (B1) is coming in autumn, but before that, Pokémon TCG Pocket players will be opening packs of a new mini expansion, the Secluded Springs set (A4a), headlined by Suicune EX, Entei EX, and Raikou EX.
Here are all the known details.
An official trailer for Secluded Springs has been released, revealing some cards from the new set! The Legendary Beasts are the showstoppers of this booster pack, featuring on the artwork and as EX cards.
The Secluded Springs set will be released on Thursday, August 28, 2025, and is the A4a set.
Here are the Pokémon cards revealed:
There is also a Trainer card: Traveling Merchant, which lets you look at the top four cards of your deck and put any Pokémon Tool(s) in your Hand. This may be great for Skarmory decks.
Continuing the card-drawing tradition set by Sylveon EX are the EX cards of the Legendary Beasts, whose Legendary Pulse abilities can draw a card each turn if they are in the Active Spot. With Sylveon EX usable in any deck type, these cards could make battles more thrilling.
Mantyke, a new Baby Pokémon, gives free Water Energy to a Basic. This is huge as the Water type has sort of been neglected in the last few expansions, and Mantyke can reinstate the likes of Palkia EX, Articuno EX, and Gyarados EX in the meta.
Going back to Suicune EX, it could function as a potent sweeper with its damage depending on the number of Benched Pokémon for both you and your opponent. Adding to this is a beautiful full art Milotic, whose healing ability of 60 HP can change the tide of the battle. Water meta is back?!
Latios and Latias are Psychic-type cards that can work together. With Latias in play, Latios has zero retreat cost.
The Secluded Springs set may be a mini expansion, but the excitement levels are certainly high atop the summit.
