The March 2025 mini expansion for *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, dubbed Shining Revelry, introduces a slew of exciting new cards. But which ones should you prioritize in your deck-building endeavors? Here’s a curated list of the best cards to aim for in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*: Shining Revelry.
Pokemon TCG Pocket Shining Revelry Best Cards
Team Rocket Grunt
Flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, discard a random Energy from your opponent’s Active Pokemon. This card is the anti-Misty, and while it might not revolutionize the game, the ability to strip your opponent of their first Energy advantage is significant. The potential to completely shut down an opponent's Active Pokemon adds to its value.
Pokemon Center Lady
Heal 30 damage from one of your Pokemon and remove all Special Conditions. Although not as powerful as Irida or Erika, Pokemon Center Lady stands out due to its lack of restrictions. The ability to heal all Special Conditions is a major advantage, especially for enhancing Snorlax decks.
Cyclizar
With 80HP, Cyclizar's Overacceleration attack (1 Colorless Energy) deals 20 damage but boosts its next turn's damage by +20. It has a 1 Retreat Cost and is weak to Fighting. Cyclizar could be a great companion to Farfetch’d in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*. While it starts with less damage, it offers more HP, though its Fighting weakness might influence your deck choices.
Wugtrio Ex
Boasting 140HP, Wugtrio Ex's Pop Out Throughout attack (3 Water Energy) randomly targets one of your opponent's Pokemon three times, dealing 50 damage each hit. It has a 1 Retreat Cost and is weak to Lightning. Although I'm usually skeptical of RNG-based attacks, Wugtrio Ex's potential to inflict 150 damage across multiple Pokemon is compelling, especially in a meta dominated by Cyrus.
Lucario Ex
With 150HP, Lucario Ex's Aura Sphere attack (3 Fighting Energy) deals 100 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon and 30 damage to one of their Benched Pokemon. It has a 2 Retreat Cost and is weak to Psychic. Lucario Ex's ability to damage Benched Pokemon makes it a valuable addition, and pairing it with regular Lucario could enhance your Fighting strategy.
Beedrill Ex
With 170HP, Beedrill Ex's Crushing Spear (2 Grass Energy) deals 80 damage and discards a random Energy from your opponent’s Active Pokemon. It has a 1 Retreat Cost and is weak to Fire. While the base Beedrill might be underwhelming, Beedrill Ex, as a Stage 2 Pokemon, offers great value with 80 damage for 2 Energy and a guaranteed Energy discard, potentially revitalizing Grass decks.
These are our top picks for the best cards in *Pokemon TCG Pocket*: Shining Revelry. Whether you're looking to disrupt your opponent's strategy or bolster your own, these cards are sure to enhance your gameplay experience.
