The Pokémon TCG Pocket app continues its streak of surprising events, this time igniting the scene with a Fire-type themed Mass Outbreak. This marks the first type-specific event for Wonder Picks, giving players a fiery chance to bolster their decks with powerful Fire Pokémon and valuable items. Running from November 22nd to 29th, this event offers a heated opportunity for trainers to stock up on fiery favorites.
The Mass Outbreak concept, familiar to players of mainline Pokémon games like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, brings a similar thrill to the TCG Pocket app. Just like encountering swarms of specific Pokémon in the wild, this event dramatically increases the odds of pulling Fire-type cards through Wonder Picks.

Wonder Picks, unlike traditional pack openings, offer players a preview of potential cards before spending their stamina. Typically, these options are influenced by recent pulls from friends and other collectors. However, special events like this Mass Outbreak introduce bonus sets of cards, adding another layer of excitement to the selection process. While previous Wonder Pick events focused on individual Pokémon like Chansey and Meowth, this event’s type focus opens a wider range of fiery possibilities.
