The introduction of Rare Candy in the Celestial Guardians expansion is set to create a new era in the game's meta. Rare Candy disrupts the dominant Basic ex meta in Pokemon TCG Pocket, allowing for faster evolution to Stage 2.

Previous Pokemon TCG Pocket immersive cards have largely focused on the most popular pocket monsters from their respective expansions. Genetic Apex included immersive cards for Pikachu, Charizard and Mewtwo, for example, while Spacetime Showdown featured Dialga and Palkia in their own animated cards.
