  • Trading eligibility broadens to include Star 1–2 and Shiny 1–2 cards as well as cards from the most recent booster packs.
  • Wonder Pick will surface unowned cards from the latest expansion more often and display how many copies of each card a player already owns.
  • Card Flairs will unlock automatically when requirements are met, no longer costing shinedust.
  • A Mega Evolution expansion is planned for the end of October, with other anniversary features positioned for October rollout without specific dates.
