Set Information

 |
The next Pocket set is called Paldean Wonders (B2a). It is to be released on Feb 26, 2026. Most of the cards are related to the Paldea region. All of the cards reuse artwork from the physical Pokemon TCG.
Sprigatito & Meowscarada ex
 |
 |
Sprigatito is a Basic 60HP Grass Pokemon that is a part of the Meowscarada ex evolution line. The Leafage attack requires 1 Grass Energy to deal 20 damage.
Meowscarada ex is the final evolution of Sprigatito. This has 160 HP, a one retreat cost and Fire weakness. The Solar Beam second attack requires 2 Grass Energy to deal 80 damage.
Flower Trick requires 1 Grass Energy for the attack. It is an unusual attack as it is a delayed attack and the attack strikes on a select spot you choose from the opponent's Bench or Active Spot. At the end of the opponent's next turn you deal 70 damage in the spot you choose.
Fuecoco
Fuecoco is a Basic 70HP Fire Pokemon with a Water weakness and a two retreat cost. The Cheerful Singing attack requires any 1 Energy to put 1 random Basic Pokemon from my deck onto my Bench. Although this attack does not deal damage, it does help with early game setup.
Quaxly
Quaxly is a 60HP Basic Water Pokemon with a one retreat cost and Lightning weakness. The Splashing Dodge attack requires 1 Water Energy to deal 10 damage. If you land Heads, you prevent damage and effects of attacks during the opponent's next turn.
Pawmi
Pawmi's Random Spark is actually not a random attack. You choose 1 of your opponent's Pokemon and deal 10 damage to it.
Fidough
Fidough is a Basic Psychic Pokemon with 60HP, a two retreat cost and a single attack. The Rear Kick requires 1 Psychic Energy to deal 20 damage.
I do expect a Dachsbun card which evolves from Fidough. More reveals to come.
Ceruledge
Ceruledge is the Stage 1 evolution of Charcadet. The Fighting Sword attack does require a bit of Energy to deal 70 base damage. If the opponent's Active Pokemon is a Pokemon ex then this attack does 70 more damage (140 damage).
Klawf
Klawf is a tanky Basic Fighting Pokemon with 100 HP, a three retreat cost and Grass weakness. The Adrenaline Hammer attack requires 2 Fighting Energy to deal 70 damage. The drawback is that Klawf is confused after this attack.
Gholdengo ex
This Gholdengo ex has the same artwork as the one from the physical trading card game. The Spending Rush attack here is different compared to the physical version. For one Metal Energy you choose 1 of your opponent's Pokemon at random for each Metal Energy attached to this Gholdengo ex. For each chosen random Pokemon, you deal 40 damage to it. It is a random spread attack.
Mesagoza Stadium
Mesagoza is similar to the physical version. Once during each player's turn, you may flip a coin. If you get Heads, then that player puts a random Pokemon from their deck to their hand. (In the physical TCG, it would not be a random Pokemon. You choose any Pokemon from deck to hand if you flip Heads.)
The problem with Mesagoza is that the opponent has access to this Stadium. You generally don't want to help your opponent with a Stadium card.
Nemona Supporter (Pocket Version)
In the physical Pokemon TCG game, Nemona was your generic draw 3 cards Supporter card. It is not considered good as drawing 3 cards from a 60 card deck is weak.
This version of Nemona is a niche Supporter card that only goes with Pawmot (unreleased). During this turn, Pawmot's attacks go up by 80 damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon ex. You do have two conditions with this Nemona card. One is having a Pawmot. Two, the opponent's Active Pokemon has to be a Pokemon ex.
Arven Supporter (Pocket Version)
From the physical card game, Arven is a powerful Supporter card which lets you fetch one Item card and one Tool card from your deck and put into your hand.
The Pocket version of Arven has a random search. If you flip Heads, then you search for 1 Item card from deck and put into your hand. A Tails would result in searching for a Tool card from your deck and put into your hand.
If you a playing a Stage 2 Evolution deck, you do hope to get Heads to search out for Rare Candy.

Maushold Illustration Rare
This art version of Maushold is nice and colourful. As a playable card, Maushold is fragile. In theory, you can deal good damage and remove Energy from the opponent's Active Pokemon if you get lucky.
What makes Maushold bad is the low HP for a Stage 1 Pokemon. Sixty HP for a evolved Pokemon is not great.
Closing Notes
This Paldean themed set has some interesting attackers along with new Stadium support. I don't know about the reuse of art from the physical trading card game. It is kind of lazy but it is what it is.
Arven being a random based search supporter based on the coin flip is weird. With too much random searching in this game, the matches in the Pocket game are too luck dependent. With luck being too big of a factor, I cannot take this game too seriously compared to the regular Pokemon TCG.
