What time does Pokémon TCG Pocket release - All Time Zones


Pokémon TCG Pocket is finally here, or at least it will be soon. With new exclusive cards and a fresh way to play with other players, TCG Pocket will be a huge launch for The Pokémon Company and fans worldwide. 

If you didn’t move to New Zealand for the soft launch, here are the exact times for Pokémon TCG Pocket’s release so you can plan ahead with your pre-registration.

While Pokémon TCG Pocket’s release window is a bit confusing, largely since it has already been available for a month in New Zealand, it will become fully available for all players on Oct. 30.

The Pokémon Company has not stated a specific launch time for TCG Pocket yet outside of the general date, so we are going to use the previous NZ soft-launch time as a placeholder for now—8 a.m. CT in the United States.
