Team Rocket's Special Assignments event in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket reaches its final day today, with the event scheduled to close at 9:59pm Pacific on September 28, or 05:59 UTC on September 29. Players have been earning Shady Tickets through missions and battles, then exchanging them for Team Rocket-themed accessories and cards from the Ambition set. Rewards include cards such as Thieving Machine, Master Plan and Goo-zooka, alongside packs containing Team Rocket cards.
The event has also provided daily login rewards including hourglasses and shinedust. End-of-event stories are rarely the most glamorous form of mobile news, but they matter in games built around limited availability: missing a deadline can be the digital equivalent of reaching the airport just in time to watch your plane reverse away from the gate.
The timing is particularly notable because Pokémon TCG Pocket is preparing to pivot almost immediately into Deluxe Pack: Mega later this week, bringing older cards back through a limited reissue format. The collectible treadmill therefore does not stop; it merely changes footwear.
