Celebi ex’s attack is Powerful Bloom, a move which requires the player to flip a coin for each energy attached to the Pokemon. For each heads, the move deals 50 damage. As noted by Dexerto, when combined with Serperior’s Jungle Totem ability which adds additional energy to Grass Pokemon, this attack can deal huge damage.
Over on X (formerly Twitter), players are already sharing how much damage they’ve managed to deal with the new card. “This game is almost Yu-Gi-Oh levels of stupid now that Celebi is in Pokemon TCG Pocket“, wrote Felix_Brehh, who managed to deal 400 damage, which would require eight coin flips landing on heads.

“Pokemon TCG Pocket is basically unplayable now thanks to Celebi ex”, wrote choerr_yeon, also showing a screenshot of a Celebi doing 400 damage. Osallyo appears to have gotten the most damage so far, with their Celebi ex dealing a whopping 850 points of damage in a single attack, which would take 11 coin flips that landed on heads. “850DMG!!! Hahahaha trying out the max energy you can play with Celebi”, they wrote.
“Serperior and Celebi ex will be the new meta deck in Pokemon TCG pocket. This deck is absolutely crazy”, noted poppypunky, echoing Dexerto‘s analysis. “This Celebi ex and Serperior look like a strong duo from Mythic Island”, concurred averacer_tcg.
Despite having trading card game in the name, only a select few cards can actually be traded in Pokemon TCG Pocket at the moment, but the developers do plan to allow more cards to be traded in the future.
