Surprise! Triumphant Light, the new Pokémon TCG Pocket expansion featuring Arceus, has been leaked
Triumphant Light, the next Pokémon TCG Pocket mini-expansion featuring Arceus, has been leaked, and it will inspire new strategies of all kinds.
Pokémon TCG Pocket continues to consolidate itself as a small success within the popular franchise. With the leak of Triumphant Light, its next expansion, it has continued to attract the attention of fans of the brand, and no wonder: Arceus, the creator Pokémon, is the main protagonist of the new set. The newly revealed cards promise more variety and could significantly impact the metagame. This leak has created a lot of buzz among card game fans, who eagerly await more details about the release and all the new content.
Everything we know about Triumphant Light, the next Pokémon TCG Pocket Set featuring Arceus.
The leak of Triumphant Light was as unexpected as it was revealing. It appears that the official trailer was accidentally posted early to the official Pokémon TCG Pocket account on TikTok, and the video revealed key details of the expansion. Though it was quickly removed, users were quick to record and share it on social media, allowing the information to spread before those responsible could react.
The most striking thing about Triumphant Light is that it is an Arceus-centric expansion. Not only is he its protagonist, but he is also the centerpiece of several decks built around him. Unlike the larger sets like Genetic Apex and Space-Time Smackdown, the booster packs seem to come in a single model with Arceus' image on it, suggesting that this is a mini-expansion similar to Mythical Island, which was centered around Mew and also featured a single booster design and a reduced selection of new cards.
Among the confirmed cards, Arceus Ex, Heatran, and Crobat stand out, but the undisputed star is Arceus Ex. His card has the ability Fabulous Shine, which makes it immune to special conditions like Sleep or Paralysis, allowing him to stay in play without interruption. In addition, its Ultimate Power Attack hits for 70 damage, but adds 20 points for each Pokémon in the Bench - so it could deal up to 130 points of damage - which fits perfectly with his role as a “leader” and Creator Pokémon, and encourages strategies where the player builds a solid team to back him up. Since it is a Normal Pokémon, it can also use any type of Energy, making its inclusion useful for boosting all kinds of decks or creating new ones.
With all of this new data on the table, Triumphant Light promises to reinvigorate the Pokémon TCG Pocket metagame, introducing new strategies with Arceus Ex as a key player thanks to his immunity to status effects. The leak has increased interest among players, who are now eagerly awaiting an official announcement on the release date, which was unconfirmed at the time of this news. Given the precedent set by Mythical Island, it is likely that Triumphant Light will be released in early March. As for the leak itself, all signs point to The Pokémon Company simply announcing the expansion in the coming days and not commenting on this odd slip-up.
