The next major Pokmon Trading Card Game Pocket update, dubbed Space-Time Smackdown, is scheduled for Jan. 29, but several cards are already starting to appear online, presumably through datamining. Lets break down some highlights.First and foremost, Space-Time Smackdown appears to include a Mewtwo ex killer in the form of Weavile ex. Pokmon TCG Pockets competitive meta is still dominated by Mewtwo ex decks despite the steady release of new cards, but Weavile exs ability to start doing decent, weakness-exploiting damage as early as turn two should be a boon for taking down opponents who rely on Psychic-type Pokmon. Dark-type decks are currently dependent on tricky strategies involving poison damage, so Weavile ex should also go a long way toward shaking that up.If youre as fond of damaging your fellow Pokmon TCG Pocket players psychologically as I am, we have a great new card for trolling: Porygon-Z. Its a beefy boy with good damage-dealing potential, but things get real tasty with its one attacks ability to randomly change the type of energy the opponent generates during their next turn. Missing out on even a single useful energy can be devastating in a game as quick and simple as Pokmon TCG Pocket, and I look forward to ruining at least one persons day with this card even if it doesnt always translate to wins.Bidoof makes a spectacular Pokmon TCG Pocket debut with Super Fang which, if youre familiar with the video games, halves the opposing Pokmons HP. This will have diminishing returns, of course, and Bidoof wont be the bulkiest Pokmon in your deck by a long shot, but imagine reducing cards like Pikachu ex and Gyrados ex to 60 and 90 HP respectively with just two energy.And finally, the rich get richer with the introduction of a new type of card, Pokmon Tools, specifically the card Rocky Helmet. A lot of decks still use Druddigon, with its 100 HP and retaliatory damage, as a way to tank hits while they evolve and build energy on benched Pokmon. Rocky Helmet gives any card a similar ability, but attaching it to Druddigon means it will deal a whopping 40 damage every time the opposing Pokmon hits it with an attack. I foresee a lot of decks either keeping Druddigon around for the foreseeable future or finding a way to include at least one because fighting against it is going to be annoying as heck.Its an exciting time for Pokmon TCG Pocket, both for collectors and folks who take the battle mod seriously, and I cant wait to see what new strategies players figure out when Space-Time Smackdown releases to the public.
