Pokémon TCG Pocket’s July “Ruler of the Skies” update adds Mega Rayquaza and other Hoenn-themed cards, following what the author considered a weaker June release. The article argues that the update is especially appealing because it showcases Generation 3’s legendary Pokémon, which the author views as the series’ strongest designs and most compelling mythology.

The expansion features new cards for the Weather Trio—Rayquaza, Groudon and Kyogre—including Mega Rayquaza ex and full-art variants, alongside other Hoenn Pokémon such as Mega Sharpedo, Metagross and Mawile. The author highlights Ruby and Sapphire’s 2002 setting and lore: Kyogre and Groudon’s climate-threatening rivalry, Rayquaza’s role as a powerful sky dragon, and distinctive legends including Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Deoxys, Jirachi, Latios and Latias.
