Pokémon TCG Pocket: Triumphant Light Expansion Unveiled

The Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) has experienced a significant transformation with the introduction of The Triumphant Light Cards. This expansion adds 96 new cards to the game, reshaping the meta and offering players a fresh, evolving gameplay experience. The Triumphant Light set introduces a new booster pack that includes the mythical Pokemon, Arceus, and a groundbreaking new battle mechanic known as Link Abilities.

• 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 its fellow Pokemon with special boosts through Link Abilities, which include Power Link, Resilience Link, Vigor Link, Speed Link, and Cunning Link. These abilities are pivotal, offering players powerful combinations and a dynamic playstyle.
