Hold onto your Poké Balls, trainers! Pokémon TCG Pocket has stormed onto the mobile gaming scene, racking up a staggering $1.3 billion in its debut year! This incredible feat has even surpassed the legendary Pokémon Go, which earned just over $1 billion in its initial year.
According to data from AppMagic, Pokémon TCG Pocket is now crowned as the most successful mobile game in the Pokémon franchise, based on its first-year revenue.
But here's where the numbers get truly impressive: the game's launch month, November 2024, saw a peak spending of a phenomenal $229.3 million (remember, the game launched on October 30th!). And this is the part most people miss... In its first four days, the game raked in over $12 million.
Looking at single-day earnings, February 1, 2025, takes the crown, with a massive $11.2 million generated, thanks to the release of the Space-Time Smackdown expansion.
