An example of a Light Pokémon

Light Pokémon (Japanese: やさしいポケモン Gentle Pokémon) are a variant of Pokémon found in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. They are the counterpart of Dark Pokémon.

Light Pokémon were introduced in the 2001 Neo Destiny expansion, which as the title suggests, revolves around the potential path or "destiny" a Pokémon can follow depending on how it is brought up by their Trainer. Similar to their Dark Pokémon counterparts, Light Pokémon are always evolved Pokémon. They tend to have slightly higher HP values compared to those of normal Pokémon, and their attacks often provide support effects that can aid either player. As the word "Light" is part of the card's name, one can include up to 4 of each the regular and Light versions of the same species in the same deck.

Although Dark Pokémon returned in the 2004 EX Series, Light Pokémon remained absent from the TCG until 2021, when Light Toxtricity was printed as one of the 2019-2023 SWSH Black Star Promos for the Pokémon 25th Anniversary.

Aesthetically, the artwork on Light Pokémon cards feature bright highlights and depict serene environments. They also have a white and gold artwork window, Evolution box and Pokédex box, as opposed to the regular gold.
