Sure thing. Here you go:

Okay, so here’s the thing about the new cards in Pokemon TCG Pocket, right? Everyone thought Giratina Ex was top dog, but now — boom! — it’s all about those Stage 2 cards like Solgaleo Ex. Is that a surprise? No, not really. I mean, they shook things up with the Celestial Guardians release, didn’t they?
And then there’s Rare Candy. That’s a game-changer, let me tell you. Suddenly, Incineroar Ex is getting all the love post-expansion. Not that I’m complaining. Why? Because Rare Candy just makes it so much easier to get those Stage 2 beasts out there and in action.
Honestly, the new meta is wild. Giratina Ex felt the hit because, let’s face it, Celestial Guardians brought in all these counters. But on the flip side, we’re seeing more consistent Stage 2 card plays. Solgaleo Ex is definitely riding that wave, like a comeback in the plays. And, uh, speaking about history repeating itself… Incineroar Ex is basking in the spotlight again.
So, why’s Rare Candy the bee’s knees? Imagine this — you’ve got these two different Stage 2 evolutionary lines, right? Just one Stage 1 critter for each, throw in a couple of Rare Candies, and voilà! Each line gets three shots at evolving. Boom. Turn three? Yeah, you could have a fully-evolved heavy-hitter ready to go. Talk about stacking the deck — literally.
And Incineroar Ex! Where do I even start? It’s like the golden boy of the pack now. Oh, and in every battle? That’s right, they’re shouting about it everywhere.
Listen, Incineroar has got this whole VGC dominance thing going on. Maybe it’s the Intimidate ability, maybe it’s the bulky stature. Of course, a powerful support set doesn’t hurt. I don’t know. With the Fire-type moves, it’s hard not to be impressed, you know?
Switching gears to Pokemon TCG Pocket. Incineroar Ex may not exactly mirror its mainline counterpart (different game, different rules, yadda yadda), but it comes packing. We’re talking a Fire Energy attack for 30 damage that burns. Yeah, hot stuff! And get this — the secondary attack? Dishes out 140 damage with a trick. If it’s damaged? Bam, upgrade from 80 to 140. Crazy, right?
The pre-evolution stage with Litten and Torracat setting it up just ties the whole thing together. It’s like a Picasso painting where every piece just fits. Rare Candy comes along, hand in hand with Charizard Ex or Infernape Ex. Different pros and cons, sure… but Incineroar Ex? It’s like the headlining act.
Okay, okay. I hear you. It’s not all fireworks and grandeur. Enter Oricorio, the Electric-type sherpa of doom. Blocks Incineroar Ex like it’s nothing. Yep. So, stage left, cue Torracat or those Supporter cards. Still, Incineroar’s hanging in there, isn’t it? Consistency is key, and unless a newer, shinier Fire-type comes blazing in, Incineroar Ex is staying put.
Anyway, I’m rambling. This new meta is something else. But hey, that’s Pokemon for you. Always keeping us on our toes. Keep shuffling those decks, and don’t be afraid to blaze your own trail. Go catch ’em all, or at least try!
