Tier list of the best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket

Rank S: The best decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket (META)

1. Arceus EX Deck

✅ Carried by the Arceus EX card, this is one of the most powerful decks in the game. Once together, Arceus EX and Dialga EX are virtually invincible, because they can take any blow!

❌ The deck Arceus EX n’est vraiment efficace que lorsqu’Arceus EX est sur le terrain.

2. Palkia EX Deck

✅ Thanks to this deck, you can unleash l’attaque surpuissante de Palkia EX sur vos ennemis. Avec le deck Palkia EX, le Pokémon actif de votre adversaire se prend 150 dégâts, mais il n’est pas le seul ! Les Pokémon de Banc adverses subissent également 20 dégâts lors de l’attaque.

❌ As worn by Palkia EXThis deck is vulnerable to card combinations with Fairy and Dragon Pokémon.

3. Darkrai EX Deck

✅ Darkrai EX is a fearsome Pokémon! This deck lets you combine its skills with the right Pokémon, items and supporters to inflict multiple damage at the start of the game.

❌ This deck is quite slow and les parties pourraient s’éterniser a little too much for your taste.

4. Mewtwo EX Deck

✅ The Mewtwo EX deck est assez simple à utiliser, mais il est surtout très fort. En effet, n’oublions pas que les attaques de Mewtwo peuvent wreak havoc on many Pokémon!

❌ Unfortunately, this card combination is quite weak against an Obscurity deck.

5. Pikachu EX Deck

✅ The Pikachu EX deck is the perfect choice for players who prefer rapid damage. Indeed, its ability to inflict massive damage in just a few turns makes it a formidable opponent.

1. Artikodin EX Deck

2. Firecracker EX Deck

✅ This deck is supported by two key cards: Dracaufeu EX and Sulfura EX qui sont complémentaires. Dracaufeu EX permet d’éliminer n’importe quel Pokémon du premier coup. Sulfura EX est quant à lui un allié précieux pour occuper l’ennemi le temps que la carte maitresse fasse le plein d’énergie.

❌ The Smogo deck relies heavily on luck.

3. Staross EX Deck

❌ You must have need the Pokémon Flute card to support the strength of the Empiflor deck.

5. Dracolosse Deck

✅ With this powerful deck, you can inflict 200 dégâts d’un coup à votre adversaire ! C’est bien évidemment grâce à Dracolosse et son attaque Draco-Météore. Mais pour être au top, ce dernier aura besoin de Beldeneige pour attaquer en premier et Ondine pour le soutenir en énergie.

❌ It is imperative to prepare the ground well to make it work! It all depends on your luck too.

❌ The Arbok / Roucarnage deck is no match for ultra-aggressive opponents such as Firecracker EX or Mewtwo EX.
