There's PTCG Live, which is basically the digital implementation of the physical game with the exact same cards and rules. The real-life booster packs usually come with a QR code to scan in Live that gives you a digital pack to open.

Pocket is like a casual version of the real TCG, with simplified battle rules for quicker games, and there's more of a focus on collecting than just battling. Because of the different rules, you can't just reuse the real TCG cards in Pocket, so the cards are unique to Pocket, but there's sometimes reuse of the artwork.
