Darkness-type cards shine in Pokemon TCG Pocket's latest Outbreak event

The shadows are stirring within Pokémon TCG Pocket as a thrilling Darkness-type Mass Outbreak Event is now in full swing. This event, embracing the essence of darkness, will continue until February 27th, giving players an increased opportunity to encounter these elusive creatures in rare and bonus picks.

Participating in and completing themed missions during this period can earn you valuable shop tickets and additional Flair, which can be exchanged for more rewards throughout the event. Leading the charge in this shadowy update is Weavile EX, the evolved form of Sneasel, capable of dealing extra damage to an already wounded opponent's Active Pokémon. Keep an eye out for Darkrai in rare picks, as it can lull your opponent's Active Pokémon to sleep with its Dark Void attack. Meanwhile, Murkrow will appear in Bonus Picks, aiding in completing your Pokédex if you're still missing some Darkness-type entries.
