Hi there. In this Pokemon TCG post I cover some of the other cards revealed from the Pokemon TCG Pocket set Shining Revelry.
Shining Revelry Set
Shiny Pokemon debut in the Pokemon TCG Pocket mobile game. Pokemon from the Paldean region also appear here. In a previous post there was a first look reveal and I featured a few cards. In the source link all 111 cards are revealed for the set. Instead of going through all the cards I want to feature certain cards that I find interesting or good plus the cool art cards.
Beedrill ex
Beedrill ex is a tanky Stage 2 Pokemon with 170 HP, one retreat cost and Fire weakness. Its single attack of Crushing Spear requires 2 Grass Energy to deal 80 damage plus discard a random Energy from the opponent's Active Pokemon.
The attack may not deal one hit knockout power but the discard Energy effect from its attack plus its large HP makes Beedrill ex a tanky beatstick. Assuming I get good pulls in the game I may try a Beedrill ex deck myself.
Wugtrio ex
Wugtrio from the physical card game is not that good. It is a meme. Wugtrio ex here is not much different. For 3 Water Energy you deal 50 damage randomly 3 times.
Pikachu ex Version 2
Here is another Pikachu ex. This one also has 120 HP, one retreat cost and Fighting weakness. Its only attack of Thunderbolt requires 3 Lightning Energy to deal 150 damage. The drawback is discarding all Energy after the Thunderbolt attack is used. Dealing 150 damage is pretty good as it is one hit knockout Power on many Basic Pokemon ex and some Stage 1 Pokemon ex.
Pawmot
Pawmot is the final evolution of Pawmi. This has 140 HP, zero retreat cost and Fighting weakness. The Electric Punch attack is okay at 2 Lightning Energy for 70 damage.
The Counterattack ability activates when Pawmot is in the Active Spot and is damaged from an attack from an opponent's Pokemon. Deal 20 damage to the Attacking Pokemon to Pawmot.
I think Pawmot is okay. It is just I am not sure if a deck that includes it is good. I think it is worth testing.
Drifblim
I wanted to feature this Drifblim. It seems useable in some sort of Psychic deck. This has 90 HP, zero retreat cost and a cheap attack that deals 40 damage for one Psychic energy.
Giratina ex
Here is Giratina ex. This one has 150 HP with two retreat cost and Dark weakness.
The Chaotic Impact attack is costly at 3 Psychic Energy plus 1 Colourless Energy to deal 130 damage. It also does recoil damage of 20 damage to itself.
Giratina ex's ability of Broken-Space Bellow is an Energy acceleration ability. Once during your turn you may take a Psychic Energy from your Energy Zone and attach it to Giratina ex. Once the Psychic Energy is attached then your turn ends. Energy acceleration is good from an ability but you cannot attack with this ability. The user has to decide whether this ability is worth using on the current turn. Either attack or use ability and end turn.
I get the weird feeling Giratina ex will be used with non-attacking walls like Druddigon.
Hitmonlee
Hitmonlee with a one Fighting energy attack that does 30 damage is good in the early game. Another option for Lucario based decks.
Paldean Clodsire ex
Paldean Clodsire ex is a tanky Stage 1 Poison attacker. The Venoshock attack does 60 base damage. If the opponent's Active Pokemon is Poisoned then Venoshock does 120 damage. Combo this with Grafaiai.
Grafaiai
Grafaiai as an attacker is okay. Its ability is what makes it stand out. Once during your turn you can flip a coin for a chance to make the opponent's Active Pokemon Poisoned.
Tinkaton ex
Tinkaton ex is a bulky Stage 2 attacker. The energy cost for its Terrific Thumping attacker is high though.
Wigglytuff
Wigglytuff as an attacker is okay. The Comforting Song ability provides 20 HP healing for your Active Pokemon. Healing 20 damage in theory can save your Active Pokemon from a knockout the next turn.
Bibarel ex
Bibarel has a Pokemon ex version in this set. I don't think this is good. The energy cost is too high for its attack.
Pokemon Center Lady
Pokemon Center Lady is a healing supporter card that heals 30 damage from 1 Pokemon and removes Special Conditions (Poison, Burn, Confused, Paralysis). Since deck space is tight I don't see this card being used much.
Team Rocket Grunt
This is one of those disruptive coin flip cards. Flip a coin until tails. For each heads you discard a random Energy from the opponent's Active Pokemon. Note that the energy discard is from the Active opponent's Pokemon only.
This supporter card is an anti-Misty card. Misty allows you to attach Water energy to any Water Pokemon (Active or Benched). Decks or players who want to stall and or disrupt opponents will take chances with Team Rocket Grunt.
Art Cards

 |  |  |
The art cards from these six are pretty nice. Wigglytuff in particular looks cute as a plush.

What stands out to me is the Pikachu ex. It looks fierce with all that lightning around it.

The art styles on these 3 are unique and somewhat unusual. The Giratina ex in partiulcar is interesting.
Shiny Cards
There are 14 shiny cards plus a gold Poke Ball.

Ten of the shiny cards are non-Pokemon ex cards. The other 4 out of the 14 are Pokemon ex.

Closing Notes
From a gameplay perspective I don't know if some of the cards impact the metagame greatly.
Due to the abundance of new shiny cards and art cards I know people will go crazy in collecting some of these in game cards. If some of these cards were printed physically people would go crazy and there will be scalpers.
