Fantastical Parade (B2) dropped on January 28, 2026 as the sixth major expansion for Pokémon TCG Pocket, bringing 234 new cards and two genuinely exciting additions: Mega Gardevoir ex as the set’s headline card, and Stadium cards — a new Trainer subtype that sits in play and pressures both sides of the board. It’s the biggest shake-up to the Pocket meta in a while, and honestly, there’s a lot to work with here. If you want to stay entirely within B2, four cards make obvious sense as deck anchors:

Teal Mask Ogerpon ex – Grass Deck

How it plays: The early game is about building up your board and letting Energy accumulate naturally on both sides — which usually happens on its own as both players set up. By Turn 3 or 4, you slide Ogerpon ex in and hit for the full 120. The status immunity is quietly huge; it makes a lot of popular disruption strategies completely irrelevant. Fire decks are the real headache here, so keep B2 healing Supporters in the list as insurance.

Mega Gardevoir ex – Psychic Deck

How it plays: Getting Mega Gardevoir ex online takes work — you need a Ralts opener and Rare Candy to skip the curve, so your early turns are genuinely fragile. But once Fantasia Force starts firing, the snowball effect is real. You’re dealing 110 damage and simultaneously loading up your bench every single turn. Peculiar Plaza is essential here; it lets you retreat the Mega safely rather than leaving a 3-point knockout sitting in the Active Spot. Play it right and the back half of the game becomes very one-sided.

Mimikyu ex – Tempo Psychic Deck

How it plays: Mimikyu ex is the most straightforward of the four — put it up front, eat a hit for free thanks to Disguise, and start chipping away with Claw Slash. 70 damage for two Energy is nothing flashy, but it keeps the pressure on while you develop your bench. The real appeal is that this deck doesn’t fall apart if you miss your evolution draws. It’s the pick for players who want something consistent and low-maintenance rather than a high-ceiling combo deck.

Mega Mawile ex – Metal Deck

Heat-Up Crunch Damage Scaling

How it plays: This one demands patience and nerves. You get Mega Mawile ex Active, and then you simply do not move it. Ever. Each Heat-Up Crunch hits harder than the last, and by the third or fourth attack you’re threatening numbers that most decks can’t comfortably absorb. Metal Core Barrier is your best friend — slap it on early and make your opponent work twice as hard to clear the board. The risk is obvious: if Mawile goes down before it stacks up, you’re in trouble. But if you protect it well, this deck is a slow-motion freight train.

Fantastical Parade gives you four genuinely different ways to play from one expansion. Ogerpon ex if you want consistency, Mega Gardevoir ex if you want a high-ceiling engine, Mimikyu ex if you’re still finding your feet, and Mega Mawile ex if you’re willing to commit and protect something until it becomes unstoppable. Pick the one that matches how you actually want to play.” Enjoy playing Pokémon TCG Pocket – Card Game on PC or laptop with BlueStacks!
