Cyrus has emerged as a strong trainer card in Pokémon TCG Pocket since the Space-Time Smackdown expansion. It allows players to switch a damaged Pokémon from their opponent's bench to the active spot, creating a significant strategic advantage. This move limits safety for opposing Pokémon, as they can no longer rely on bench placement to escape elimination. With additional existing threats like Lumineon and Articuno ex damaging benches, the Cyrus card elevates gameplay dynamics, pushing players to rethink their defensive strategies in deck building.
This Pokémon TCG Pocket guide explains why we think he's a solid choice for so many looking to shake up their decks.
Cyrus's card effect is pretty straightforward. Here is the verbatim description of what it does: 'Switch in 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has damage on it to the Active Spot.'
If your opponent has two or more Pokémon with damage on the bench, then you get to select which one to move to the active spot.
The Cyrus trainer card makes it impossible for people to tuck cards away onto their bench, creating added pressure on their strategy.
