POKEMON GO EXP: MORE ICONIC & POWERFUL POKEMON REVEALED

Friday May 20, 2022

Excitement is building for the upcoming Pok�mon TCG expansion. Let�s take a closer look at hype-worthy cards.

More awesome cards have been revealed from the upcoming Pok�mon TCG: Pok�mon GO expansion. From powerful Legendary and Mythical Pok�mon to a very sneaky Ditto, the first Pok�mon GO expansion products will be available on July 1, 2022. And don't forget to check out some of the previously revealed cards from the hotly anticipated expansion.

This hulking Mythical Pok�mon arrives in the Pok�mon TCG as a Pok�mon VMAX for the first time! Its powerful G-Max Juggernaut attack lives up to its name, doing 160 damage plus an extra 60 for each additional Metal Energy attached�up to a maximum of 280 damage with 5 Energy attached. It also appears as an impressive Gigantamax Pok�mon, even though Gigantamax Pok�mon currently do not appear in the Pok�mon GO game.

Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres

The classic Legendary bird Pok�mon trio comes to the Pok�mon GO expansion after being used as inspiration for the emblems of the three teams in the Pok�mon GO game. Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres all have powerful Abilities that represent their true strengths. Each of their Abilities�Ice Symbol, Lightning Symbol, and Flare Symbol, respectively�power up their Basic Pok�mon allies of the same type by causing their attacks to do 10 more damage to the opposing Active Pok�mon. This effect stacks when multiple Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres are in play, too!

Bidoof and Bibarel

Bidoof pauses on a stone in the middle of rushing water, not quite relaxing but not quite on guard. But when the Pok�mon evolves into Bibarel, the action gets more intense! Of course, you first have to look past the Smeargle hopping in front of Bibarel's big moment. Bibarel's Reassuring Dam Ability stops your opponent from using Abilities, Item cards, or Supporter cards to discard cards from your deck, helping to keep cards in your hand.

Ditto

Now here's something you don't see every day� And if you're not looking closely, you might miss it! To find Ditto in the Pok�mon GO expansion, look for other Pok�mon that have a layer you can peel off to reveal the Transform Pok�mon underneath! Note that the Pok�mon that rests on top of Ditto can't be used competitively in official matches�only the Ditto itself. In fact, you'll find a little Ditto icon in place of the typical tournament registration mark!
