Pokémon TCG Pocket Triumphant Light Expansion Guide

Author : Benjamin Mar 16,2025

The Pokémon TCG landscape has been dramatically reshaped by the arrival of the Triumphant Light expansion. This exciting set introduces 96 new cards, sparking a rapidly evolving meta and ushering in a new era of gameplay. A new booster pack features the legendary Pokémon Arceus, alongside a groundbreaking battle mechanic: Link Abilities.

Arceus's introduction and the implementation of Link Abilities have fundamentally altered the Pokémon TCG. These abilities allow Pokémon to unleash devastating combined effects when paired with Arceus or Arceus EX, creating dynamic and strategic gameplay possibilities.

Arceus EX

The undisputed star of Triumphant Light is the four-diamond rarity Arceus EX. Its "Fabled Lustre" ability grants immunity to all Special Conditions, while "Ultimate Force" delivers a powerful 70 damage plus additional damage for each of your benched Pokémon. Here's a breakdown of Arceus EX's stats:

  • Rarity: Four-Diamond, 2-Star, 3-Star, Crown
  • HP: 140
  • Attack: 70
  • Attack Energy: Three Colorless
  • Retreat Cost: 2
  • Weakness: Fighting
  • Ability: Fabled Lustre
  • Attack: Ultimate Force

Arceus also empowers allied Pokémon through various Link Abilities: Power Link, Resilience Link, Vigor Link, Speed Link, and Cunning Link. These links provide potent synergistic combinations, leading to exciting and unpredictable gameplay.

This expansion adds 75 base set cards and 21 rare cards, totaling 96 cards, including several rare cards and one hyper-rare card.
