The next Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion is almost here, with the new set coming later this week and introducing a host of new cards, including powerful new Ultra Beast cards that could change the meta in a big way.
New sets typically come in two sizes, full expansions with two or more booster packs, and limited themed boosters, which only have one booster pack and are about half the size of a full expansion. Extradimensional Crisis will be the latter, as it’s a limited themed booster, and builds upon the previous Celestial Guardians expansion.
