A new meta has emerged in Pokémon TCG Pocket thanks to an unexpected combination that has put one of the most beloved yet underestimated Pokémon of the saga in the spotlight.

The arrival of the expansion Temporal Struggle has renewed competitiveness in the free-to-play Pokémon card collecting game. As players explore its potential, innovative strategies have emerged that challenge the established meta.

Among these new ideas, a strategy centered on Bidoof has surprised the community, as it breaks with the dominant trends in the most powerful decks.

Bidoof, known for its role as an HM carrier in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, has found a place in the competitive scene of Pokémon TCG Pocket. Its card has proven to be a crucial tool for countering one of the most feared combinations in the game.

Many players start the match with Druddigon and the item card Rocky Helmet, a combination that deals 40 damage points to any opponent that attacks them. This defensive combo drastically reduces the opponent's options.

However, Bidoof is immune to this mechanism. Its Super Fang attack halves the remaining HP of the opponent's Active Pokémon, rounding down. This effect ignores both Druddigon's passive ability and the activation of the Rocky Helmet item, allowing Bidoof to nullify a key strategy in the current meta.

Despite its surprising utility, Bidoof's card also has its limitations:

Low health points: With only 60 HP, Bidoof is vulnerable to direct attacks.
Requires energies: Super Fang needs two energies to activate, which can slow down its implementation.

Even so, its ability to counter one of the dominant strategies has earned Bidoof a place in the competitive scene.

What started as an unexpected option has become a key strategic choice. Bidoof has gone from being a meme Pokémon to a card with a crucial role in the current meta of Pokémon TCG Pocket. If you're looking for a way to surprise your opponents, this adorable creature could be the answer.
