During the event there will be two types of Wonder Pick available. Bonus Picks will feature either a Snorlax or Manaphy card, as well as two Wonder Pick Hourglasses and two Wonder Pick Shop Tickets. The cards available from Bonus Picks are usually the Triumphant Light Snorlax, Space-Time Smackdown Manaphy, but there is a chance for these cards to be the promo versions with new art.

Chansey Picks are rarer than Bonus Picks but only feature Manaphy and Snorlax promo cards. The ratio of Snorlax to Manaphy cards vary, and Chansey Picks cost two Wonder Stamina.

We are still in the midst of the TCG Pocket Gible Solo Battle Event, but you’ll need to get some other decks prepared for the latest Pokémon TCG Pocket Event. To celebrate the release of the latest TCG Pocket Expansion, Triumphant Light, there is a new in-game PvP battle event so players can earn emblems and rewards. If you want to take part in the latest battle event, here are the best consistent TCG Pocket decks.   

TCG Pocket Triumphant Light SP Emblem event rewards. 344u6e

There are numerous rewards for completing missions in the Triumphant Light SP Emblem event, but above all people want to earn those emblems. The event asks players to win five PvP TCG Pocket battles in a row, with a new emblem awarded at two, three, four, and five consecutive wins.

Players can also grab Shinedust for meeting certain matches won milestones, and Pack Hourglasses are rewarded for participating in versus battles. You can claim both of these rewards from the Missions menu.

Popular TCG Pocket decks – Palkia ex 3b2a6c

Players are using a wide variety of decks at the moment, but Palkia ex is one of the most popular ones and you should be aware of its strategy. Water decks are particularly powerful at the moment thanks to the great number of options available to Water-types like Misty and Irida.

The Palkia ex deck is based on Energy acceleration to your main attacker, Palkia ex. Manaphy places two Water Energy onto your bench, and Vaporeon can move any Water Energy on the bench to the active spot. Further Irida will heal any Pokémon with Water Energy attached, while Misty can put extra Water Energy onto the field. Once Palkia ex has four energy attached, it can deal 150 damage per turn, which is enough to overwhelm most other decks.

To beat this deck you need to take out the cards around Palkia ex quickly. Defeating the Eevee before it evolves, and the Manaphy before it can use Oceanic Gift, really disrupts the strategy. Any Pokémon that hits hard, and fast will dismantle the deck before it gets going. 

Here’s the deck list we recommend for Palkia ex:

• Palkia ex x2
• Manaphy x2
• Eevee (Mythical Island) x2
• Vaporeon x2
• Misty x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Irida x2
• X Speed x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Giant Cape x2

Popular TCG Pocket decks – Darkrai ex 4cf6o

The other main deck at the moment is based around Darkrai ex, and there are many different variations. The strategy for this deck is based on damage over time. Darkrai ex does 20 damage to your active Pokémon every time you attach a Dark Energy to it, softening them up for a bigger attack. The Weezing from the Genetic Apex set works well with it as it adds extra chip damage with Poison. 

When Weezing is about to be knocked out, it can be scooped with Koga and the Koffing set back down for the next turn. This allows the cards to be recycled through the deck without the opponent taking any points. This can quickly become frustrating, as damage doesn’t stick to this deck. Further, Rocky Helmet will deal damage back when the cards are attacked.

Darkrai ex decks rely on dealing small amounts of damage over time, and faster decks will outpace and overrun this deck. Decks that hit Pokémon on the bench can help take Darkrai ex out before it has dealt too much chip damage, and waiting until you can take out Active Pokémon in one hit will help with recoil damage.

Here’s the deck list we recommend for Darkrai ex:

• Darkrai ex x2
• Koffing (Mythical Island) x2
• Weezing (Genetic Apex) x2
• Koga x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Cyrus x2
• Potion x2
• X Speed x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Rocky Helmet x2

Consistent TCG Pocket decks – Celebi ex 3f6v7

While Palkia ex, and Darkrai ex are the most popular TCG Pocket decks right now, there are two decks that we prefer for their consistency. In our opinion the best TCG Pocket deck remains Celebi ex, and it’s only become stronger thanks to the introduction of Pokémon Tools. Celebi ex can deal 50 damage for each Grass Energy attached to it, and Serperior doubles the amount of Grass Energy. You can see how this quickly gets out of hand.

Celebi ex’s main weakness is that it only has 130HP, but that’s not even a weakness anymore. The Giant Cape item can help Celebi ex survive previous one-hit knockouts, while Erika will heal Celebi ex for 50HP. This will keep Celebi alive for longer, and allow more Energy to be attached.

The key to beating Celebi ex is to take out the Snivy before it becomes a Serperior. Without the double Energy that Serperior provides, Celebi ex is a lot less threatening. However, if Serperior is online, you should change your target to Celebi ex, and try to take it out before it takes you down. Once the Celebi ex is knocked out, the Serperior in the back can’t deal nearly as much damage.

Here’s the deck list we recommend for Celebi ex:

• Celebi ex x2
• Snivy x2
• Servine x2
• Serperior x2
• Erika x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Sabrina x2
• X Speed x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Giant Cape x2

Consistent TCG Pocket decks – Articuno ex 216350

Articuno ex has fallen out of favor, but it is incredibly strong in the current Pokémon TCG Pocket meta thanks to its ability to hit Pokémon on the bench. Add in the huge amount of for Water decks thanks to Misty and Irida, and Articuno ex becomes a strong and consistent deck.

The introduction of Cyrus improved the Articuno ex deck, as it can pull up whichever Pokémon you want from the bench to the active. Articuno ex’s Blizzard and Greninja’s Water Shuriken allow you to damage Pokémon on the bench, which are then brought up with Cyrus for the knockout. Giant Cape and Irida will keep the Articuno ex healthy while Misty can accelerate Energy.

Without Misty, Articuno ex takes three turns to set up, which is a long time given how many cards can be set up with one or two Energy. Articuno ex can be taken out with two hits as a rule, which means it can be outpaced. 

Here’s the Articuno ex deck list that we recommend:

• Articuno ex x2
• Froakie x1
• Frogadier x1
• Greninja x1
• Misty x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Cyrus x2
• Irida x2
• Potion x1
• X Speed x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Giant Cape x2

Pokémon TCG Pocket has just added the Gible Solo Battle Event to the game with a number of sought after rewards for players. Not only is there a Full Art promo card up for grabs, but four other card variations, and a number of other rewards. If you want to load up on Hourglasses, Shinedust and promo cards, here’s everything you need to know about the TCG Pocket Gible Solo Battle Event.

Pokémon TCG Pocket Gible Solo Battle Event promo cards 1fk4j

There are five promo cards that you can pick up as part of the event, and the chase card is the Full Art Gible. However, if you are building an Arceus ex deck, the event is an easier way to grab the Link Power Raichu card.

Here’s the full list of promo cards that are part of the Pokémon TCG Pocket Gible Solo Battle Event:

• Cherrim
• Raichu
• Nose
• Full Art Gible
• Staraptor

Winning a Beginner match gives you a 50% chance of being rewarded with a promo card, while Expert battles guarantee the promo card drop. Essentially, the more difficult the battle, the more likely you are to grab a promo card. Luckily, you don’t use any Stamina if you lose an event battle, so don’t worry about trying a few times before you succeed. Winning battles will also reward you with Shinedust and Shop Tickets.

Pokémon TCG Pocket Gible Solo Battle Event challenges and rewards 1k282g

There are different challenges at each difficulty tier, and you will likely need different decks in order to complete every challenge. Aside from promo cards, there are different rewards you can grab. These include Hourglasses for opening packs, taking part in more Solo Battles, and Wonder Picking.

Here is a list of challenges that are part of the Gible Solo Battle Event:

• Beginner
  • Knock Out with an attack from a Grass-type Pokémon 
  • Play three Basic Pokémon
• Intermediate
  • Two Knock Outs with attacks from Grass-type Pokémon 
  • Put your opponent’s Pokémon to sleep one time
  • Win this battle by turn 14

  • Win five or more battles

  • Win a battle using common Pokémon

Best decks for the Gible Solo Battle Event 5s6q5g

There are a few challenges that we want to focus on when building our decks for this event. We will need a deck consisting of Grass-type Pokémon, a deck using only common cards, and a deck that can put the opponent to sleep.

The strongest Grass-type deck at the moment is the Celebi ex and Serperior deck, which mostly uses cards from the Mythical Island expansion. Celebi ex does damage based on how much Grass Energy is attached, and Serperior doubles all Grass Energy. The best Celebi ex decks have a lot of healing, with Erika for and the Pokémon Tool Giant Cape. This deck is also one of the strongest for PvP battles.

Here’s the Celebi ex deck list that we recommend: 

• Celebi ex x2
• Snivy x2
• Servine x2
• Serperior x2
• X Speed x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Giant Cape x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Erika x2
• Sabrina x2

The Celebi ex deck can be easily changed into a deck that only uses common cards. Dhelmise is a great common substitution for Celebi ex as it can deal 90 damage per turn when it has four Grass Energy attached. It also has a lot of HP making it difficult to take down quickly. We’ve exchanged the Giant Cape for Rocky Helmet to deal some extra damage. Here is the common card counter deck we recommend.

• Dhelmise x2
• Snivy x2
• Servine x2
• Serperior x2
• X Speed x2
• Poké Ball x2
• Rocky Helmet x2
• Professor’s Research x2
• Erika x2
• Sabrina x2

The final deck we need is one that can put the opponent to sleep. As you don’t lose Stamina when you lose a battle the best deck is one that is filled with er cards. Make a deck with a Jigglypuff that can put the opponent to sleep, and the other cards should be ers, Items and Tools. This way you will start with Jigglypuff in your hand, you can send your opponent to sleep and then immediately concede.

In a report from Sensor Tower, Pokemon TCG Pocket ended up being the most ed mobile game in the Japanese market in the second half of 2024. Given the popularity of the Pokemon series, this shouldn't come as a surprise, but it did generate a large source of revenue for The Pokemon Company as a result. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

More specifically, outside of being the most ed mobile game in the second half of 2024, Pokemon TCG Pocket topped the rankings for overall revenue growth. The mobile card game released worldwide on October 30, 2024. While it features a simplified version of the card game's more robust systems, players can also collect cards and show them off via their in-game profiles. As a result, making it appealing to both the card game player and the collector.

According to a report from GamesIndustry.bz, Pokemon TCG Pocket earned over $120 million in revenue not even a month after release. Within the first four days of release it had already made roughly $4 million.

Since the release of the mobile game, there has been a steady trickle of new booster packs (and more importantly, cards) to collect. And booster pack titled Space-Time Smackdown will include starter Pokemon from the Sinnoh region such as Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig.

Pokemon TCG Pocket is available for free on Android and iOS devices.
