Hola Everyone! It’s your boy Anketsu here, and welcome to a brand new Pokémon TCG Pocket guide.
Ruler of the Skies (B4), released on July 30, 2026, is one of the biggest expansions ever released for Pokémon TCG Pocket. Featuring 239 new cards and headlined by Mega Rayquaza, the set doesn’t just add new Pokémon to collect it represents a turning point for the game itself.
At first glance, the expansion is all about Mega Evolutions. Players can collect and battle with Mega Rayquaza ex, Mega Metagross ex, Mega Gallade ex, and Mega Sharpedo ex, while Mega Houndoom ex is available separately as a promotional event card.
However, after spending the first days playing the new format, it’s clear that the Mega Pokémon aren’t the only stars of the set.

Set Analysis 🎲
Ruler of the Skies introduces a large number of new Pokémon ex, powerful Trainer cards, and long-awaited support for Dragon-type decks and dual-Energy strategies, breathing new life into archetypes that previously lacked consistency.
At the same time, several older decks receive meaningful upgrades thanks to new support cards, making this one of the most impactful expansions released so far.
Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, is that the competitive scene isn’t being dominated exclusively by the new Mega Evolutions. While Mega Rayquaza ex is the face of the expansion, early results have shown that regular Pokémon ex such as Vespiquen ex and Hoopa ex are already establishing themselves as some of the strongest decks in the format.
That’s an encouraging sign for the health of the metagame, proving that success isn’t limited to the newest flagship cards.
For players who enjoy building creative decks, Ruler of the Skies is equally exciting. One of my favorite aspects of the expansion is the renewed support for single-Prize Pokémon.
These decks have always rewarded clever deckbuilding rather than simply relying on the strongest Pokémon ex, and this expansion introduces several interesting options that make experimenting genuinely fun again.
The release of Ruler of the Skies also coincides with one of the largest game updates Pokémon TCG Pocket has ever received. Alongside the expansion comes a massive 3.5 GB update that completely rebuilds much of the game’s technical infrastructure.
While many of these changes happen behind the scenes, they improve overall performance and prepare the game for future features and game modes that would have been difficult to support before.
Several long-requested quality-of-life features also make their debut. Decks can now be shared instantly through QR codes, making it much easier for players to exchange lists with friends or the wider community. The update also introduces a guaranteed 4-Diamond pity system: after opening a certain number of unlucky booster packs without finding at least one ♦️♦️♦️♦️ card, the next pack is guaranteed to contain one.
It’s a simple but meaningful improvement that makes opening packs feel much fairer, especially for free-to-play players trying to build competitive collections without spending money.
Competitive play has also become more welcoming thanks to changes to the Ranked ladder. Players below the Master Ball rank no longer lose rating points after defeats, making it easier to experiment with new decks instead of feeling forced to play only the strongest meta strategies.
The expansion isn’t limited to cards and gameplay changes, either. New events accompany the launch, including Mega Houndoom ex as an event-exclusive promo card, while the Premium Shop receives a full set of Rayquaza-themed cosmetics together with an alternate artwork for Celebi (Time Recall), originally released in Pulsing Aura.
Looking at the bigger picture, Ruler of the Skies feels like more than just another expansion. Throughout the first half of 2026, Pokémon TCG Pocket often struggled with increasingly aggressive power creep, as each new release pushed stronger cards and more oppressive mechanics into the game.
This expansion doesn’t magically solve every balance issue, but it does feel like the developers are beginning to steer the game back in a healthier direction.
There is still plenty of work to do, and the development team hasn’t always been quick to respond to community feedback. Even so, recent updates suggest they’re listening more closely than before and are willing to improve the game over time.
As someone who was fairly skeptical about Pokémon TCG Pocket earlier this year, I find myself much more optimistic now. Ruler of the Skies introduces exciting new decks, rewards creative deckbuilding, improves the overall player experience, and lays the foundation for what could be a much stronger future for the game.
Best Cards to Pull and Craft 🔑
Ruler of the Skies introduces plenty of powerful cards, but not all of them will remain equally valuable as the metagame evolves. Some are already defining competitive play, while others have the potential to become even stronger as future expansions introduce new Pokémon and support cards. If you have limited Pack Hourglasses or Pack Points, these are the cards I recommend prioritizing.
Vespiquen ex
One of the biggest surprises of the expansion, Vespiquen ex has quickly established itself as one of the strongest Grass-type attackers in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Its ability to deal up to 140 damage makes it an excellent offensive option for a wide variety of Grass decks.
What makes Vespiquen ex particularly future-proof is its synergy with Mega Evolution strategies. Since it can discard your own damaged Pokémon, it prevents opponents from stealing games with Cyrus, while also giving Grass archetypes a reliable attacker that doesn’t rely on complicated setups.
Mega Sharpedo ex
Although Mega Sharpedo ex hasn’t received as much attention as Mega Rayquaza ex, it may prove to be one of the safest long-term investments in the entire set.
Its Energy acceleration makes it an excellent partner for slower Water decks and any strategy built around attackers requiring three or more Energy. As more Water and Colorless Pokémon are released, Mega Sharpedo ex has a strong chance of becoming even more valuable.
Minior
Every competitive player should own Minior.
The card requires only a single Colorless Energy to attack, making it an easy inclusion in almost any deck. More importantly, it is currently one of the cleanest answers to Oricorio, giving virtually every archetype access to an efficient counter without changing its Energy lineup.
Hoopa ex
If you enjoy Darkness decks, Hoopa ex should be one of your highest priorities.
It fits naturally into a wide range of archetypes and already works exceptionally well alongside cards such as Darkrai ex, Mega Absol, and Mega Sableye. Thanks to its flexibility, Hoopa ex is likely to remain a staple of Darkness strategies for a long time.
Dragonair
Few cards in Ruler of the Skies are as universally important as Dragonair.
Any Dragon deck immediately becomes faster and more consistent with Dragonair in the list, making it close to a mandatory inclusion for the archetype. As future Dragon Pokémon are released, its value will only continue to grow.
Mega Rayquaza ex
Mega Rayquaza ex is the face of the expansion for good reason.
Its attack scales with the amount of Energy you can generate, giving it virtually unlimited damage potential. Every future card that accelerates Fire or Lightning Energy has the potential to make Mega Rayquaza ex even stronger, making it one of the safest long-term investments among the new Mega Evolutions.
Raticate
While still an underrated choice, Raticate offers an interesting utility effect for decks built around Item cards.
Strategies that depend on finding key cards such as Rare Candy or other important Items can benefit from the additional consistency Raticate provides, making it a card worth keeping an eye on as new combos emerge.
Deceptive Needle
Darkness decks received several powerful tools in this expansion, and Deceptive Needle is one of the best.
The extra damage it provides is relevant in many matchups and helps several Darkness attackers reach important knockout thresholds, making it an excellent Tool card to keep in your collection.
Rainbow Cave
Rainbow Cave is arguably one of the strongest Stadium cards introduced in Ruler of the Skies.
It works perfectly alongside Dragonair while enabling many dual-Energy strategies to function more smoothly. Fire decks also benefit significantly from its effect, making Rainbow Cave one of the safest Trainer cards to craft regardless of the current metagame.
Soothing Shore
Water decks finally receive a Stadium that supports longer games.
Soothing Shore heals every Pokémon with Water Energy attached at the end of each turn, giving defensive and slower Water archetypes a valuable source of continuous recovery. Its usefulness is likely to increase as more bulky Water Pokémon are introduced.
Wally
Supporter cards often age better than Pokémon, and Wally is a perfect example.
It dramatically improves the speed of many Stage 1 strategies while also helping several Stage 2 Pokémon attack a turn earlier. Because this effect is tied to evolution rather than a specific Pokémon, Wally is likely to remain relevant for many future expansions and is one of the safest cards to craft from the set.
Solo Battles CPU 🖥️
Here you’ll find the complete PvE guide for this expansion’s CPU battles.
I’ll cover the best decks for the 12-Card, Mono-Type, and No-EX missions, along with strategies to help you clear each challenge efficiently.
As always, you’ll also find a custom Nuzlocke challenge designed by me to make the AI battles more difficult, engaging, and rewarding.
