After nearly two years in open beta,Pokémon Trading Card Game Livearrives on PC in full today, replacing Pokémon Trading Card Game Online as the primo destination for all digital Poké TCG players. Alas, withSummer Game Festhappening today, none of the RPS Treehouse are going to be able to enact their plans of being the very best like no one ever was until at least early next week at this rate, but if you fancy giving it a go yourself, you’ll be pleased to hear it’s free-to-play and is available for both Windows and Mac devices (and iOS and Android, if you want the full list of platforms).

Pokémon TCG Live launches alongside the Scarlet and Violent - Paldea Evolved expansion, which adds Gen 9 monsters and more EX forms to keep matches feeling spicy. EX cards have higher HP and more powerful attacks compared to their regular card versions, but they have a big risk reward factor attached to them as well. If EX cards get knocked out, for example, then players must give up two of theirprize cardsto their opponent, rather than one.
