Triumphant Light, a new themed booster pack, is coming toPokémon Trading Card Game Pocket.Today’sPokémonPresents contained tons of information about the future of thePokémonfranchise. From updates on thePokémon TCGto a first full look atPokémon Legends: Z-A, there was plenty to be excited about. In addition to these big announcements, the presentation also confirmed several leaks aboutPokémon TCG Pocketthat were made earlier this week.
Today’sPokémon Presentsconfirmed that Triumphant Light will be the next “themed"Pokémon TCG Pocketbooster pack. These “themed” mini-sets are smaller than normal sets, with Triumphant Light focusing on the mythical Pokémon Arceus. Additionally, ranked matches were confirmed for a future addition at the end of March. Both ofthese announcementswere leaked yesterday, separately, and have major implications for the future of the extremely popular mobile game.
Triumphant Light Details Revealed For Pokémon TCG Pocket
New Set Focuses On Mythical Pokémon Arceus
The newPokémon TCG Pocket set will focus on theMythical Pokémon Arceus, which is said to be the creator of thePokémonuniverse. Notably,there are several cards with abilities dependent on Arceus ex’s appearance on the playing field. For instance, Raichu takes less damage while Arceus or Arceus ex is in play, while Tyranitar does additional damage while one of those Arceus cards is in play. This adds a level of new synergies toPokémon TCG Pocket, opening up a ton of new deck strategies.
Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket Has A Hidden Feature That’s Giving Fans A “Dopamine Fix”
Pokémon TCG Pocket fans are delighted to discover that the game has a hidden animation that triggers on the Pokédex page in a very satisfying way.
Because Arceus ex (and assumably Arceus as well) is a Colorless Pokémon card,it means that it can be slotted into any deck. Players can add Arceus and one of the Pokémon that synergizes with it into an existing deck to give it a boost of power. Players can also aim for a Dragon-type deck with multiple kinds of energies to utilize Arceus and Pokémon of multiple different types. There should besome deck options, but not an overwhelmingly powerful one, as the synergies seem set up to be limited to Arceus and one other Pokémon.
Our Take: Triumphant Light Seems Powerful But Not Overwhelming
New Cards Seem Intriguing But Don’t Suffer From Power Creep
Now that we have a better look at some of the cards in Triumphant Light, it appears that the Arceus synergies will be strong but not too strong. There won’t be a ton of power creep because none of the cards build off a colorless theme,so players shouldn’t be able to create an overpowered deck with just the Arceus theme. Still, this represents a cool new addition toPokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, and we can’t wait to crack open some new packs in the coming weeks.
