This small expansion packs a punch, offering cards capable of reshaping the Pokémon TCG Pocket meta or significantly boosting existing decks.

Mew Ex

• HP: 130
• Psyshot (1 Psy Energy): 20 damage.
• Genome Hacking (3 Colorless Energy): Choose one of your opponent's Active Pokémon's attacks and use it as this attack.

Mew Ex is a standout. This Basic Pokémon boasts high HP, a serviceable initial attack, and the game-changing Genome Hacking. Its versatility allows for inclusion in existing Mewtwo Ex decks alongside Gardevoir, or even in Colorless-based strategies.

Vaporeon

• HP: 120
• Wash Out (Ability): Move a Water Energy from a Benched Water Pokémon to your Active Water Pokémon as often as you like during your turn.
• Wave Splash (1 Water, 2 Colorless Energy): 60 damage.

Vaporeon is poised to become a significant threat, especially against prevalent Misty decks. Its ability to manipulate Water Energy enhances the already formidable power of Water-type strategies.

Tauros

• HP: 100
• Fighting Tackle (3 Colorless Energy): If your opponent’s Active Pokémon is a Pokémon Ex, this attack does 80 more damage. Otherwise, 40 damage.

Tauros, while requiring setup, delivers devastating blows against Ex decks. The potential for 120 damage against Ex Pokémon makes it a formidable counter to popular archetypes like Pikachu Ex, posing a significant threat even to Charizard Ex.

Raichu

• HP: 120
• Gigashock (3 Lightning Energy): 60 damage plus 20 damage to each of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon.

Raichu further exacerbates the challenges faced by decks relying on Benched Pokémon development. Its Gigashock attack, combined with its ability to quickly establish itself in Surge decks, makes it a powerful addition to any Lightning-focused strategy.

Blue (Trainer/Supporter)

• Effect: During your opponent’s next turn, all your Pokémon take -10 damage from your opponent's Pokémon attacks.

Blue provides crucial defense against powerful opponents like Blaine and Giovanni. By mitigating the damage from their powerful attacks, Blue can significantly disrupt strategies that rely on quick knockouts.
