A Single Pokémon TCG Pocket Card Dominates Scarlet and Violet’s Meta Again

I’m diving straight into this complex world of Pokémon TCG and, wow, things are shifting around like crazy. Anyway, let’s unwrap this together, okay?

So, the big news – we’re seeing this wild shift in the meta. Giratina Ex? Yeah, apparently it’s not the go-to anymore. And I kinda expected that with the Celestial Guardians expansion. It’s like the game just threw a curveball or something. Now everyone’s buzzing about Solgaleo Ex and those Stage 2 cards. Honestly, it feels like every set introduces twists and new favorites. Anyway – no, wait, let’s talk about why this shake-up is happening.

Rare Candy, man. If you’re not using it, are you even playing? It’s like that secret weapon, helping Stage 2 Pokémon get on that sweet path to glory. I guess that’s why Incineroar Ex is grabbing the spotlight now. Its attacks are just unreal when paired with Rare Candy. I mean, who saw that coming? Uh – maybe everyone did. But still.

Oh, speaking of Incineroar, let’s sidetrack to its role across the Pokémon universe. Remember back in Gen 9 games? This guy was the kingpin, the real MVP. Lowering enemy stats, tank-like bulk, the whole package. It’s like, no wonder it’s making waves in Pokémon TCG Pocket too – very few downsides, really, if you ask me.

Jumping back to the card game, Incineroar Ex doesn’t quite mirror its video game antics, but it’s still a beast. One measly fire energy and bam! Thirty damage and burns you? That’s just, um, wow. And then there’s this mega punch for 140 if it’s taken some hits. Weird how both Litten and Torracat can sort of set that up with their “hit-me-back” moves. Like, taking damage is a strategy now? Who’d have thought.

Oh, and quickly, about counters – not everything’s perfect for Incineroar. There’s this Electric-type Oricorio throwing wrenches everywhere, stopping attacks from Ex cards cold. You gotta love/hate that. It keeps you on your toes, you know? But hey, nothing’s unbeatable, and it’s all about playing smart. Supporters like Sabrina and Cyrus can shift the whole tide if you play them right.

I’ve rambled on too much, but the gist? The new meta is a wild ride. It’s like, embrace the chaos and those sneaky moves. Who knows what the next shift will be? But I’ll be watching. Or playing. Or possibly getting distracted by something else entirely. Who knows.
