The Pokémon TCG landscape has been dramatically reshaped by the arrival of The Triumphant Light expansion. This 96-card addition introduces a new meta, spearheaded by the mythical Pokémon Arceus and its groundbreaking Link Abilities. This expansion brings a fresh booster pack, adding a new layer of strategic depth to the game.
Arceus's introduction and the implementation of Link Abilities have fundamentally altered gameplay. These abilities allow Pokémon to unleash combined effects when paired with Arceus or Arceus EX, creating exciting new synergies and strategic possibilities.
The crown jewel of The Triumphant Light is undoubtedly Arceus EX, a four-diamond rarity card. Its "Fabled Lustre" ability grants immunity to special conditions, while "Ultimate Force" delivers a devastating 70 damage plus additional damage for each benched Pokémon. Here's a breakdown of its stats:
Arceus also enhances its fellow Pokémon through various Link Abilities: Power Link, Resilience Link, Vigor Link, Speed Link, and Cunning Link. These links dramatically impact gameplay, fostering dynamic and powerful combinations.
Beyond Arceus EX, several other cards are making waves: Leafeon EX (Solar Beam, Forest Breath), Carnivine (Power Link, Vine Whip), Glaceon EX (Snow Terrain, Freezing Wind), Crobat (Darkness Fang, Cunning Link), and Probopass (a formidable 90 HP).

The evolving meta has given rise to several dominant decks: Arceus EX & Dialga EX, Arceus EX & Carnivine, Arceus EX & Darkrai EX, Darkrai EX & Staraptor, Leafeon EX & Celebi EX, Arceus EX & Crobat, and Infernape EX & Arceus EX.
The Triumphant Light expansion introduces 75 base set cards and 21 rare cards, totaling 96 cards, including several rare cards and one hyper-rare card. Key Trainer and Supporter cards like Adaman, Irida, Barry, and the Celestic Town Elder are also included. Adaman and Irida are particularly noteworthy, with Irida healing 40 damage and Adaman mitigating damage against Metal-type Pokémon.
While smaller than expansions like Genetic Apex or Space-Time Smackdown, The Triumphant Light packs a powerful punch. Securing the best cards requires luck (and perhaps a healthy budget!). The introduction of Link Abilities has ignited a new era of strategic innovation, making it an exciting time to join the Pokémon TCG.
