The world of Pokémon TCG has been electrified by the introduction of The Triumphant Light Cards, bringing a fresh 96-card set that's reshaping the game's meta in exciting ways. This expansion not only introduces a new booster pack but also ushers in the mythical Pokémon, Arceus, and a revolutionary battle mechanic known as Link Abilities.
