Togekiss has quietly become one of the most underrated yet powerful cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, dealing massive damage while maintaining enough control for extended longevity in battles. With the correct setup, this card can be the perfect Pokémon to destroy meta decks. Since the Space-Time Smackdown expansion’s release on January 30th, 2025, Togekiss has been featured in the Dialga and Palkia packs, allowing you to experience its impressive damage potential firsthand. The perfect deck has been crafted around it now that it has had ample time to prove itself in competitive battles.
By using the strongest supporter, tool, and item cards in the mobile game, this deck can withstand the test of time within a battle and destroy meta decks used across the player base. To break away from the more commonly used cards in TCG Pocket, you can harness the power of Togekiss to create a truly unique and formidable deck.
The Strengths of Togekiss
Overdrive Smash Will Deal Huge Amounts Of Damage
Togekiss is a Stage Two card from Space-Time Smackdown that may take some time to set up, but the payoff is well worth the effort. Its “Overdrive Smash” attack deals a solid 60 damage for just two Psychic Energy. However, what makes Togekiss truly powerful is its ability to ramp up—on your next turn, it deals an additional 60 damage, turning it into a formidable offensive threat. Once set up, Togekiss will do a whopping 120 damage the second time its attack has been used, making it a giant killer.

This card also has 140 HP, meaning it takes some effort from the opponent to take it down. This is amplified by the Giant Cape tool card, which can increase this by 20 HP. Therefore, once Togekiss is in the Active Spot, it should have enough power and resilience to dominate the battle and secure victory. Its pre-evolution cards also provide solid support. Togetic, with 80 HP, can withstand hits, while Togepi, with 50 HP, is resilient enough to survive until it evolves. Both can hold their own long enough to set up Togekiss.

The Synergy Between Druddigon, Togekiss, Azelf, And Cynthia Creates A Formidable Deck
When using this deck in TCG Pocket, I found that Druddigon serves as the perfect wall to help set up Togekiss. Its ability, “Rough Skin,” does 20 damage to the Pokémon it’s attacked by, deterring the opponent from attacking. I was also able to use the Rocky Helmet tool card to amplify its ability and do 40 damage rather than 20. This gave me enough time to set up Togekiss on the bench and load it with energy, as Druddigon doesn’t require energy or an attack in this strategy.

Azelf also gives you another way to stall for Togekiss while, this time, dealing damage. It does 20 damage to any of the opponent’s cards for just one Psychic Energy, allowing you to cause problems for the opponent. Once set up properly, Cynthia or Cyrus can be used. Cynthia will almost guarantee success because it will add an additional 50 damage to Togekiss when it attacks. This will allow you to do a potential 170 damage in one turn, securing a win in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
