Triumphant Light, a new themed booster pack, is coming to Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket. Today's Pokémon Presents contained tons of information about the future of the Pokémon franchise. From updates on the Pokémon TCG to a first full look at Pokémon Legends: Z-A, there was plenty to be excited about. In addition to these big announcements, the presentation also confirmed several leaks about Pokémon TCG Pocket that were made earlier this week.

Today's were 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 new Pokémon TCG Pocket set will focus on the Mythical Pokémon Arceus, which is said to be the creator of the Pokémon universe. 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 to Pokémon TCG Pocket, opening up a ton of new deck strategies.

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 be some 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 to Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, and we can't wait to crack open some new packs in the coming weeks.
