Summary
- A leaker has claimed Pokemon TCG Pocket’s next set will be rooted in Gen 4.
- Gen 4 is considered the second most popular Pokemon generation after the original 151.
- The next set is confirmed to be arriving before the end of January but no other details about it have been confirmed.
January is nearly over, which means news about the next Pokémon TCG Pocket set should be arriving any day now. The Pocket team has already confirmed that new booster packs will be added to the game before the end of the month. According to a reliable leaker, the upcoming set is expected to focus on Pokémon’s fourth generation.
The leak comes from Twitter user “eb576dcfe,” humorously known as “Not A Leaker.” This account was previously operated under the name “Pyoro,” a leaker with a track record of accurately revealing details about Nintendo Directs. Pyoro’s credibility stems from their connection to a Nintendo employee, a fact that was eventually brought to light.
At the end of 2024, Pyoro made a return to Twitter under a new alias and has been dropping hints about Pocket’s upcoming set. According to their cryptic posts, the next set will prominently feature Pokémon from the Sinnoh region. In a follow-up tweet, the leaker clarified that the upcoming set, referred to as “A2,” will be Gen 4-themed. Currently, Pocket’s Genetic Apex set is labeled “A1,” while the recently released Mysthical Island booster pack is “A1a.” This pattern strongly suggests that the next set will indeed carry the code “A2,” aligning with the leaker’s hints.

Let’s Pack Up Our Cards And Head To The Sinnoh Region
The leaker, previously known as Pyoro, has mentioned in the thread that the upcoming set is expected to release on January 30. This aligns with Pokémon’s confirmation that the set will arrive before the end of the month. Given that we’re already midway through this week with no official announcements about its release, it seems likely that we’ll see the new cards next week.
The decision to potentially skip Generation 2 and Generation 3 could be influenced by the strong popularity of Generation 4. The Sinnoh region, often regarded as the second most beloved after Kanto and its iconic original 151 Pokémon, stands out as a natural choice for the next destination. By focusing on Sinnoh, the franchise may aim to maintain and captivate its large player base, leveraging the region’s widespread appeal.
