These full art cards from Pokemon Pocket deserve the trophy for the most exquisite designs in the current expansion pack, Genetic Apex.
The addition of Blue and Leaf in the same expansion can't be an accident. These two characters have been rivals for a long time Pokémon tradition, with Leaf finally defeating Blue in the final battle during the Indigo League Championship. Now face back in Pokemon Pocketthis time as support cards fighting for a bigger role in the metagame. This raises an inevitable question: which is the best? Or, more specifically, which is more likely to become a META staple? Here's a ranking to answer that.

Budding expeditioner
Neat, but Niche
- Scarcity: 2-Diamond & 2-Star
- Text: Put your former Mew in the active slot in your hand.
Players call Budding Expeditioner “Koga for Mew ex”, which simplifies what this supporter card does. She allows you to return Mew back to your hand and heal her, making her utility quite niche and specific.
Since the former Mew's main attack, Genome Hacking, is a colorless move, it appears in many decks. As a result, you'll also see many budding Expeditioners due to their strong synergy. However, Budding Expeditioner is just one META-shattering card away from being pushed out of the metagame, which is why it ranks as the least favorable supporter card in the Mythical Island expansion. If it could work with more psychic type cards, it would probably be at the top of the list.

Blue
The Underdog Supporter
- Scarcity: 2-Diamond & 2-Star
- Text: During your opponent's next turn, all of your Pokemon take ten less damage from attacks from your opponent's Pokemon.
Blue was not well received in Pokemon Pocket community when he was released. For many players, he is still seen as a useless addition and more of a burden in decks than a useful supporter. However, players must recognize that Blue is a doomsday card – a supporter that can change the course of a match on rare but crucial occasions.
Imagine this: you're two turns away from evolving or building your main damage dealer on the bench, while your opponent can shoot your active Pokemon and force you to play an unprepared one that can remove But then you play Blue, buying enough time for your active Pokemon to survive and complete your development strategy. In the next round, eliminate your opponent's active Pokemon and win. This is the critical difference that Blue can make.

Leaf
The true champion of mythic island advocates
- Scarcity: 2-Diamond & 2-Star
- Text: During this turn, the retreat cost of your active Pokemon is two less.
Exactly as in Pokémon tradition, Leaf finally defeats Blue, but in Pokemon Pocketit does this by providing a much better and more universal utility: making retreats with two free energy. The leaf is the best supporter card in Mythic Island expansion because it's a plug-and-play card for many decks, especially Charizard ex-de's where Moltres ex might be in the Active Spot. That's when Leaf steps in, Benching Moltres for free and letting the former Charizard take her place.
Leaf takes the championship from Blue for a simple reason: it's not an “apocalypse” card. Blue can change the game in rare situations where keeping the active Pokemon alive for one more round is crucial, but those moments don't happen often, and Blue won't always get a chance to shine. Instead, Leaf is useful in most matchups, especially in decks with Pokemon that require two Energy to retreat—something that occurs frequently.
