Tapu Koko ex: The Game-Changer for Lightning Archetype?

In simple terms, the Pokemon TCG Pocket game debuted with the Genetic Apex expansion. Not long after, Pikachu ex became one of the standout cards, boosting the popularity of the Lightning type. At that time, the only decks more effective were those based on Mewtwo ex and Gardevoir from the Psychic archetype. However, Pikachu ex’s dominance was challenged when the third expansion, Space-Time Smackdown, introduced Darkrai ex and Celebi ex, which led to a shift in the game meta. Since then, the share of the Lightning type’s meta has been declining. Nevertheless, some fans are optimistic that an upcoming mini-set could bring its former glory back.
