The Pok\u00e9mon Company dropped a major announcement at Pok\u00e9monXP in San Francisco \u2014 a fan convention running alongside the 2026 Pok\u00e9mon World Championships \u2014 revealing that <strong>dual-type Pok\u00e9mon cards<\/strong> are coming to the game for the first time, alongside a new wave of First Partner Pok\u00e9mon ex cards, all part of the new C series launching in <strong>October 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are Dual-Type Cards in Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket?<\/h2>\n<p>Since the game launched, every Pok\u00e9mon card in TCG Pocket has carried a single energy type \u2014 Psychic, Fire, Water, and so on. Dual-type cards break that rule for the first time, letting a single Pok\u00e9mon draw on two types simultaneously. In the mainline physical Pok\u00e9mon TCG, dual-type cards have existed for years; bringing them into Pocket opens up entirely new deck strategies around weakness, resistance, and energy matching.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ptcgp-mega-mewtwo-x-ex.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mega Mewtwo X ex \u2014 the first dual-type card in Pok\u00e9mon TCG Pocket, Psychic and Fighting\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Mega Mewtwo X ex \u2014 The First Dual-Type Card<\/h2>\n<p>Leading the charge is <strong>Mega Mewtwo X ex<\/strong>, a dual <strong>Psychic- and Fighting-type<\/strong> card.
