- Tap the Question Mark in the top right corner
- Select “Event Details”
This will display the duration of the current season. For instance, Season A2b will conclude on April 27, 2025, with results and rewards becoming available on April 30.
Ranked Bots in Pokémon TCG Pocket
In Pokémon TCG Pocket, if the game struggles to find a match for you, it may pair you with bots in ranked matches. The game doesn’t inform you when this happens, but there are some telltale signs:
- They often have generic usernames, like “Tom” or “Alice.”
- They lack any emblems.
- They use multi-type decks that lack strategic depth.
While you can’t guarantee facing bots in ranked matches, it’s usually an advantage, as bots tend to be relatively easy opponents. If you encounter one, the chances of winning are high. However, stay vigilant; a player might be using an unusual deck that could catch you off guard.
