Pokémon TCG Pocket: Triumphant Light Expansion Unveiled

The Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) has been revolutionized with the introduction of the Triumphant Light expansion, which adds 96 new cards to the mix and reshapes the game's meta.

The arrival of Arceus and the implementation of Link Abilities have significantly altered gameplay dynamics. These new abilities allow Pokemon to execute combined effects when Arceus or Arceus EX is in play, adding a layer of strategy and excitement to battles.

Arceus EX

The star of the Triumphant Light set is undoubtedly Arceus EX, classified under the prestigious four-diamond rarity. Arceus's Fabled Lustre ability grants immunity to all special conditions, while its Ultimate Force attack deals 70 damage plus additional damage for each benched Pokemon.

• 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 EX also enhances the abilities of other Pokemon through Link Abilities, which include Power Link, Resilience Link, Vigor Link, Speed Link, and Cunning Link. These links revolutionize gameplay by enabling powerful combinations and dynamic strategies.
