Summary
A fan has noticed that the new Wimpod’s card inPokemon TCG Pocketis identical to its physical card counterpart. While both games have much in common,Pokemon TCG Pocketis marketed as a streamlined version of the physical card game. That said, the digital version has recently started stepping out of its predecessor’s shadow, which makes this newly spotted detail about Wimpod all the more notable.
A unique feature ofPokemon TCG Pocketis how it handles card and expansion releases. While it draws inspiration from the same shared roster of Pokemon, the game customizes their stats, abilities, and even artwork. In other words, eachPokemon TCG Pocketexpansionmostly features new variants of previously released cards, though there appears to be one specific exception.
Reddit user HamLitt229 spotted that Wimpod is the onlyPokemon TCG Pocketcard identical in illustration, text, and stats to the physical card: the Grass-type Wimpod from Burning Shadows. Fans on HamLitt229’s post have confirmed that no other card is a true 1:1 replica like Wimpod. For instance, Greninja inPokemon TCG Pocket’s Genetic Apexshares the illustration with the physical card in the XY set. However, the two cards' stats, abilities, and energy requirements are quite different.
Wimpod Is a Special Card After All
Grass-types inPokemon TCG Pockethave often ranked among the most popular cards. In the current Celestial Guardians meta, for example, Meowscarada and Decidueye ex have formed a dominant duo. Before that, the meta was influenced by the Grass-type Leafeon ex and its formidable ally, Celebi ex. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for poor Wimpod. There are currently no meta decks that feature this Pokemon and its evolution, Golisopod. So, the recent news of it being an exceptional card might be the first time Wimpod is getting some well-deserved attention.
Based on the reactions to this recent discovery of Wimpod, it’s clear thatPokemon TCG Pocketplayers are eager to see more cards like this in the future. Many have already started sharing wishlists of Pokemon they’d like to see added. However, the differences in gameplay and rules between physical and digital card games make it difficult to introduce many identical cards. That doesn’t mean fans won’t see more of these cards in the future. For now, all eyes are onPokemon TCG Pocket’s upcoming expansionto see if it features any exceptional creatures like Wimpod.
