Pokemon TCG Pocket leaks: The next upcoming pack expansion set might be based on Gen 2

The leak was posted on Reddit by u/_foxlife, who uploaded a screen recording of a video that seems like it was uploaded accidentally on the official Italian Pokemon YouTube channel. Although now taken down, this appeared to be a trailer for the forthcoming expansion pack, which seems strongly centred around Gen 2 Pokemon.

Based on the video, this set will reportedly mark the beginning of a new A4 series, with beloved Johto region Legendaries Ho-Oh and Lugia as the set's mascots. According to the leak, the set will probably also introduce new competitively viable cards, including Ho-Oh ex, Lugia ex, Umbreon ex, and Espeon ex.

The video also showcased additional cards, most significantly Gen 2 baby Pokemon like Pichu and Cleffa. The Gen 2 starter trio (Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile) and Shiny Gyarados seem to be included as well. Beloved characters Silver and Lyra also appeared in the supporting categories.

The text in the leaked video is in Italian. Here’s a translated summary of the cards that were leaked:

• Ho-Oh ex: Has an attack that makes you place one Fire, one Water, and one Lightning Energy from your Energy Zone to any of your Benched Pokemon.
• Lugia ex: A 180 damaging move that makes you discard one Fire, one Grass, and one Lightning Energy from it, perfectly synergizing with Ho-Oh ex.
• Umbreon ex: If in the active position, it can force a damaged opponent's Benched Pokemon into the active position, like Cyrus' effect.
• Espeon ex: Once per your turn, if Espeon ex is in the active spot, it heals 20 damage from one of your Pokemon.
• Cleffa: Lets you add a random Pokemon from your deck to your hand.
• Pichu: Enables you to retrieve an Energy card from your discard pile and attach it to one of your Benched Pokemon.

As always with leaks, players must keep their expectations in check. That said, if this expansion is indeed genuine, Pokemon TCG Pocket may be about to enter a thrilling new chapter of nostalgia for Gen 2, with the introduction of new strategic features to the game.
