Pokémon TCG Pocket earned “Best Game” at Google Play’s Best Games of 2025. Google said that it felt that Pokémon TCG Pocket went above and beyond, delivering an authentic version of the physical card game while retaining the joy of collecting cards.
“From flipping coins to tearing open booster packs, its well-designed effects add palpable weight and texture for a vividly tactile experience that brings the whole experience to life,” Google said in an announcement listing all the winners.
Here is a list of other games that received awards:
- Best Multiplayer: Dunk City Dynasty
- Best Pick Up & Play: Candy Crush Solitaire
- Best Indie: Chants of Sennaar
- Best Story: Disco Elysium
- Best Ongoing: Wuthering Waves
- Best on Play Pass: Dredge
The mobile game initially released on Oct. 30, 2024, and has received a steady stream of updates through expansion booster packs. TCG Pocket recently celebrated the launch of Mega Evolutions, which have been dominating the competitive meta.
At the time of writing, Pokémon TCG Pocket is currently holding a solo event, where players can farm Mega Pidgeot EX. The card disrupts enemies with the Giant Twister Attack, which discards the defending Pokémon’s energy. But if all three coin flips are tails, the move simply fails to do anything.
