Pokemon TCG Pocket Celestial Guardians: Ex variants that fans would love to see

1) Alolan Raticate

After Bidoof ex proved that even the regional rodents could offer compelling gameplay, Alolan Raticate feels like the next natural step. As a Darkness-type, it might bring in smart strategies through chip damage or strategy-disruption oriented moves.

An optimally built Raticate ex might bring about new and innovative deck designs.

2) Vikavolt

Vikavolt has traditionally been known in the mainline games as a supportive Pokemon that is fast. Translating this into TCG Pocket could mean an ex card that fits seamlessly into Lightning-type decks.

It could focus on a low-cost, moderate-damage attack set or feature an energy-accelerating ability to power up benched Pokemon. Overall, Vikavolt ex could bring essential utility to the format.

3) Bewear

Bewear, no matter the cute and cuddly outer appearance, has a dangerous reputation in both the anime and the mainline TCG. Bewear cards have previously handled this duality well by incorporating its cuteness and raw strength with its beloved ability "Fluffy," increased damage against evolved Pokemon, use of status conditions, and dealing 150+ damage.

Bewear ex in Pokemon TCG Pocket Celestial Guardians could be a game-changer that lives up to its TCG history.

4) Silvally

Silvally has always stood out for its rich lore and competitive flexibility in the video games, thanks to its RKS System ability. A Silvally ex in Celestial Guardians might mirror that by having a move fueled by colorless energy, but changing its typing depending on the attached energy cards.

This would enable it to fit into almost any deck. Its presence would bring strategic complexity and homage to its in-game background.

5) Alolan Starters – Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina

Players already know that Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio are sure to be in the set, but the excitement comes from the potential of their fully-evolved ex versions. TCG Pocket has a history of producing influential starter ex cards, and this group can potentially do the same.

With the right moves and synergy, Decidueye ex could introduce tactical Bench sniping, Incineroar ex might bring heavy-hitting aggression, and Primarina ex could offer control or healing abilities. These three could bring both nostalgia and a competitive edge to the format.
