Here’s everything we know about the newest expansion.
Another mini expansion has arrived in Pokémon TCG Pocket, and this time it’s all about Arceus. Announced during Pokémon Presents on 27 February, the Triumphant Light pack launched less than 24 hours later at 2:00 PM SGT / 3:00 PM JST.
Triumphant Light, coded A2a, is the third themed booster pack in Pokémon TCG Pocket, following the larger Space-Time Smackdown which released a month ago. The size of the expansion is comparable to Mythical Island mini expansion released in December 2024.
This set introduces Arceus ex alongside a selection of Sinnoh-focused cards. While it’s not as expansive as Space-Time Smackdown, it still offers plenty of new cards to collect and battle with.
What cards are included in Triumphant Light?
This mini-expansion features a range of new Pokémon and Supporter cards, including:
- Arceus ex
- Glaceon ex (2 types)
- Tyranitar
- Abomasnow
- Rotom
- Raichu
- Crobat
- Unown
- Shaymin
- Croagunk
- Magnezone
- Probopass ex
- Magnemite
- Barry (Supporter)
- Irida
- Irida (Supporter, 2-star rarity)
Some cards have Link Abilities including the following:
- Arceus ex has an ability called Fabled Luster that prevents it from being affected by any special conditions. It can use Ultimate Force, an attack with a base damage of 70, plus an extra 20 damage for each of your Benched Pokémon.
- Raichu’s ability is Resilience Link, which reduces damage taken by 30 whenever Arceus or Arceus ex is in play. Raichu can also use Spark, an attack that requires two energy, dealing 40 damage to the Active Pokémon and 20 damage to one of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon.
- Crobat‘s ability is Cunning Link, allowing it to deal 30 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokémon once per turn if Arceus or Arceus ex is in play. It also has an attack called Darkness Fang, which deals 50 damage.
