Fantastical Parade introduces Stadium cards in Pokémon TCG Pocket for the first time. Stadiums depict the battlefield and affect both players. Only one Stadium can be active at a time, and it can be replaced by another Stadium card or certain other Trainer card effects.
Mega Evolution cards follow updated rules similar to Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia in the physical TCG:
Knocking out a Mega Evolution gives 3 points, which can instantly win a match.
Mega cards can be Basic, Stage 1, or Stage 2, and Stage 1 or Stage 2 Megas can evolve directly from their corresponding Basic or Stage 1 Pokémon.
With the introduction of Stadium cards and powerful support for Psychic types, Fantastical Parade B2 promises to be a standout set in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Players can expect a thrilling experience with new strategies, shiny Pokémon, and powerful Mega EX cards.
