Ready to add some serious shine to your digital collection? The all-new Deluxe Pack: ex Booster Pack is dropping in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket for a limited time, and we’ve already secured the upscaled banner and isolated golden logo! Don’t miss this guaranteed-rare set, or our essential, high-quality art releases!

Catch Up on the Classics (and Score New Art!)

As you have seen on dozens of sites now, the Deluxe Pack: ex is the ultimate chance to snag those ultra-rare cards you might have missed since the app launched. Think of it like the real-life High Class Pack sets—a glorious gathering of reprints from Genetic Apex all the way through Wisdom of Sea and Sky.

The best part? Every single 4-card pack is guaranteed to include one card of ♦♦♦♦ rarity or higher! Plus, we are looking forward to the new spectacular Parallel Foil designs and even entirely new illustrations for us to use and share for new variations of cards! This isn’t just a reprint set; it’s a celebration of TCG Pocket’s greatest hits, reimagined with extra sparkle, which is where we come in!

Mark your calendars! The Deluxe Pack: ex is only available from September 30th at 2 a.m. EST to October 30th at 1:59 a.m. EST. While Pokémon says it will return in the future, why wait to power up your collection?

The Living Archive: Our Essential Quest for Clean Assets

While the in-game excitement is immense, the data flow on this expansion has been incredibly challenging. The core issue? A recent lack of immediate datamines and a pattern where official media either doesn’t share the art, provides it at low quality, or releases it only after a significant delay. This leaves a massive void when it comes to the crisp, textless, high-quality images we all crave.

The available high-quality assets are scarce, but this is precisely the void we are dedicated to filling. We’ve already moved mountains! We’ve uploaded over 30 new images, and you can find the high-resolution, upscaled banner art right now for use as a stunning wallpaper, alongside an isolated version of the new golden ex logo for your custom cards. Crucially, we have secured and shared 3 key textless leaks specifically from the Deluxe Pack, featuring stunning, clean art of fan favorites like Gardevoir, Greninja, and Farfetch’d—all confirmed to be receiving new illustrations in the set.

This relentless effort is powered by “The Living Archive.” Our team is deploying a vast network and a suite of advanced tools to bring you these resources:

  • Hand and Automation Edited: We combine meticulous, manual work with professional software like GIMP and Photoshop, plus powerful modern methods like Generative Fill, to clean, upscale, and enhance every single asset we find. We turn a low-res grab into a stunning, high-definition resource.
  • Deep Curation: Our proprietary, custom-built search engine works directly with our database, allowing us to manually (and sometimes automatically) assign now over 200 tags to every image—and that’s not even counting standard identifiers like Pokémon name, number, generation, or game! This deep curation ensures you can find and use the exact piece of art you need, instantly.

We deliver these assets to you in high-quality layers for everything you can imagine: wallpapers, promos, layers, templates, and your own custom cards. When everyone else posts a low-quality rip, we aim to post the untouchable, curated masterpiece.

Your Weekly Asset Schedule: Always Something New

Forget waiting for single, sporadic posts! We group our multiple, high-quality uploads weekly to ensure there is always something fresh for our users. Here is what you can rely on from the Archive:

  1. Weekly Textless Art: We commit to bringing new textless versions of images weekly. This usually involves detailed touch-ups to remove or clean up text, icons, borders, or banners—or upscaling official art for the best quality.
  2. Archived Renders & PNGs: We are committed to uploading and featuring both official and high-standard community/custom fanart to bring the highest quality renders into one place. This includes isolating images, removing text, and creating high-quality PNG renders with transparency.
  3. Deluxe Pack Focus: New Pocket image set releases, including the Deluxe Pack: ex assets, will be posted with, or in addition to, our weekly archive and textless art posts, ensuring rapid deployment.
  4. Mega Art Priority: We are committed to delivering high-quality Mega art and assets as soon as they are found, announced, or released.
  5. Custom FX & Overlays: We include weekly assets of custom FX, overlays, textures, backgrounds, and other special effects. These are often extracted from, or inspired by, official cards, ripped Pocket assets, or effects used in Mega Pokémon cards or directly from the show. We also find and create highly sought-after custom FX inspired by Pocket for people to continue to push the limits creating high-quality card renders, art, and assets.
