Pokémon TCG Pocket: Triumphant Light Expansion Unveiled

The Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) has been invigorated with the launch of The Triumphant Light Cards, introducing 96 new cards and a fresh meta that's constantly evolving. This expansion includes a new booster pack and introduces the mythical Pokemon, Arceus, along with a novel battle mechanic known as Link Abilities.

Arceus's grand entry and the introduction of Link Abilities have significantly altered gameplay. These new abilities allow Pokemon to unleash combined effects when playing alongside Arceus or Arceus EX, adding a dynamic layer to strategic play.

Arceus EX

The centerpiece of Triumphant Light is undoubtedly Arceus EX, a card of four-diamond rarity. Arceus's Fabled Lustre ability grants immunity to all special conditions, while its Ultimate Force attack inflicts 70 damage plus additional damage for each benched Pokemon. Here are the detailed stats for Arceus EX:

• Rarity: four-diamond, 2-star, 3-star, crown
• HP: 140
• ATK: 70
• ATK Energy: Three Colorless
• Retreat Cost: 2
• Weakness: Fighting
• Ability: Fabled Lustre
• Attack: Ultimate Force

Arceus also enhances other Pokemon through its Link Abilities, which include Power Link, Resilience Link, Vigor Link, Speed Link, and Cunning Link. These abilities revolutionize gameplay by offering powerful combinations and a versatile playing style.

Alongside Arceus, other notable cards in Triumphant Light include:

• Leafeon EX with Solar Beam and Forest Breath abilities.
• Carnivine with Power Link and Vine Whip.
