As mentioned, for the occasion of Pokémon Day this year, TCGP had celebrated in its own way by adding something new. That something new is a Themed Booster Pack, called "Triumphant Light", in the same vein as the one that preceded it, also the first of its kind. It too acts as an add-on to an expansion... which I've actually yet to cover but will likely need to after this. Regardless, it seems just as well to cover this one first.
The "mini" expansion is nevertheless similar in size, although there may be a few more "common" cards (those of the Diamond rarities) compared to the previous. Now, it's a "divine" pack because the pack focuses on the "god" of the Pokémon world, which is none other than the venerable Arceus. As expected, it has an immersive card of its own here, becoming the prime card to collect among other cards in the mix.
In fact, some of those cards - of the Pokémon kind - are directly connected to Arceus itself, as they have Abilities that require the presence of the Pokémon on one's side for them to do certain things, some of which are quite beneficial. Players will still need to figure out how to make them work with the cards for that species as well as other cards to do the things they want and need to do by taking advantage of them.
With the expansion that this one acts as an add-on toward, they are mostly representative of the Sinnoh region, if the presence of Arceus isn't already a clear indication of that. That expansion has other and more unique properties of its own, but again, that needs a separate post to explain. This Arceus expansion is nonetheless the complement to that expansion and more or less makes everything about it more complete.
Considering the expansion's title, there's a certain clarity that the "mini" expansion needed to provide alongside the expansion to which it complements - particularly in the realm of "working and playing well with others" - and the cards that it provides as above seem to do just that. By all means, that's a "divine" way of making things happen, perfectly suitable with the Pokémon that is at the heart of the expansion.
