Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket has a number of immersive cards that let players experience the cards' artwork in a whole new way. Pokémon TCG Pocket is a digital app version of the massively popular trading card game that's played and collected by millions of fans around the world. The app version lets fans experience opening booster packs, collecting cards, and even battling with other players, all from the entirely digital space of a mobile device.

Digitizing the game has also given Pokémon TCG Pocket a chance to dive into cards in a way that's never been done before. The app takes advantage of the virtual nature of the cards by expanding the cards' artwork beyond the physical space. This has resulted in the stunning immersive cards of Pokémon TCGP.

The immersive cards are a whole different experience from the rest of the cards. Immersive cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket are interactive cards that contain entire scenes within them. Long-pressing on the card pans into the artwork and takes players through dynamic still illustrations, literally moving the viewer through the artwork contained within. The movement of the card's art can be stopped and started by tapping on it.

Immersive cards are full-art illustration variations of existing cards. There's no difference between the immersive card and its alternative form, except for the artwork that's featured on it. Immersive cards can be recognized by the distinct black circular frame that outlines the cards' artwork.

There Are Four Immersive Cards (One Is Hidden)

There are four immersive cards in the Genetic Apex Pokémon TCG Pocket set. Three of these can be pulled from the different booster packs, but the fourth will take some additional work. Here's the full list of all the immersive cards in the Genetic Apex set:

Card Name

Fire

Mewtwo ex

Psychic

Pikachu ex

The Charizard ex and Pikachu ex card illustrations show a large number of different Pokémon gathered in a tableau. In the Pikachu card, the characters are relaxing in a calm forest, while the Charizard scene shows a dynamic and exciting depiction of various Pokémon mid-battle over a body of water.

The Mewtwo ex card depicts a very different atmosphere. The card shows Mewtwo breaking out of a building through a window, then pans inside to reveal a dark and lifeless laboratory and a large broken test chamber. The scene lingers on the broken glass of the tube and, for a brief moment, Mew can be seen in the shard of glass on the top right. The image then whips back to the Mewtwo and its determined expression.

The Mew card in Pokémon TCGP is the most difficult to acquire, as it requires players to gather all 150 of the other Kanto-region Pokémon. The card is bright and colorful and uses a very different, more illustrative art style from the rest of the immersive cards. Together, these four beautiful cards make up the only immersive cards that can currently be found in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.
