The perfect supporter cards can really change the way your deck plays. We take a look at every fan card in the game and rate them.

So where should you start? One of the easiest ways to do this is to look at some of the most powerful decks in the format and invest in one of them. So here are the eight best decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket.

8

Arbok and Pidgeot

Lock your opponent's Pokémon

Birds and snakes are often enemies, but in one of the most promising decks in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, they work together to give the player easy points. However, it requires a bit of setup. First, you want to make sure your Pidgeot is benched and using its Drive Off Ability to force your opponent to bring out a weak or underprepared Pokemon to play.

Arbok at your active spot can then attack your opponent's Pokémon and lock them in place for a second strike the next turn. This strategy is designed to prevent your opponent's strongest Pokemon from leaving the bench and make it easier to take down Pokemon at the top.

Legendary Bird Turbo

18 trainers and one bird

The legendary birds in Pokemon TCG Pocket are pretty decent powerhouses. While Moltres ex is good for energy acceleration in fire decks, Articuno and Zapdos are pretty good hitters and are the focus of Legendary Bird Turbo. Here, all your resources go directly into strengthening one of the birds, so you can fly off and start scratching your opponent's Pokémon.

There is only one Pokémon in these decks. Since you are guaranteed to have a basic Pokémon at the start of each game, you can immediately play it on the field and pump it up with energy. With no further setup required, this is an aggressive deck designed to strike quickly before your opponent finishes setting up. For Articuno variants, swap Pokedex for Misty to get the energy acceleration.

6

Venusaur Ex

A green thumb

Venusaur Ex is another powerful deck that focuses on being able to hit hard while providing maintenance to stay afloat. The main star of the show is Venusaur Ex, who can deal 100 points of damage with Giant Bloom, but also heals himself for 30 points of damage each time.

Since Venusaur Ex already has a whopping 190 health, this will slow down your opponent while they try to do enough damage to your Pokemon to score points. This deck also benefits from Lilligant's grass energy acceleration and Erika's healing power. This way you can hold on to your Pokémon and not go down without a fight.

5

Dragonite Ex

The old switcheroo

Dragonite ex is a deck that focuses on getting to Dragonite and getting it onto the field quickly so it can use Draco Meteor. This tactic is made easier by a combination of Weezing and Koga. While there is no special Switch card in the Pokémon TCG Pocket, Koga can send Weezing back to your hand, allowing your Bench Pokémon to take its place.

This deck is all about getting Weezing out first to take hits and buy time. It does 30 damage for one energy and can also poison your opponent's Pokémon. Before Weezing falls unconscious, you can use Koga to prevent your opponent from scoring a point and spawn Dragonite to randomly deal 50 points of damage four times in a row.

4

Charizard Ex

Playing with fire

Moltres Ex and Charizard Ex go hand in hand in one of the best Fire decks. The idea is to use Moltres as a tank to withstand the opponent's blows while generating fire energy for Charizard ex.

Charizard Ex has a devastating attack called Crimson Storm that deals 200 damage and requires you to discard two Fire Energy. This can be enough to take out many of the signature Pokemon found in the meta, while Slash is an effective way to deal with basic Pokemon. Moltres ex can also apply energy to other Moltres waiting on the bench. In the worst case scenario, it has to fight Heat Blast, which deals 70 damage.

3

Mewtwo Ex

A powerful and consistent attack

While Mewtwo Ex follows a similar strategy to Charizard Ex, it is even better as the energy acceleration occurs on the bench and does not need to be in the active spot. The entire purpose of the deck is to put Mewtwo EX on the field while Gardevoir sits on the bench and produces psionic energy every turn.

Mewtwo's Psydrive deals 150 damage and costs four energy. While this would normally leave a one-turn gap for Mewtwo to recharge, Gardevoir speeds this up by allowing you to equip two psionic energies per turn. This way, Mewtwo Ex can easily use Psydrive every turn.

2

Starmie and Articuno Ex

Starmie is a boomerang

It's hard to decide which deck is the best, but there are two that stand out for their speed. The first is the Starmie/Articuno deck. Starmie is an excellent first-tier Pokémon that can consistently deal 90 damage with just two Water Energy.

With cards like Misty, not only is this easy to set up and allows for energy acceleration, but the low retreat cost allows him to swap out for another copy of himself or a Benched Articuno Ex. Since this deck only contains one Stage 1 and one Basic Pokémon, you can limit the Pokémon in your deck to a maximum of six cards. This makes the choice of trainer cards as flexible as necessary.

Pikachu Ex

Lightning fast action

Who doesn't love a good Pikachu? Pikachu ex is the best deck you can play if you want consistent damage, low retreat cost, and easy setup. Pikachu thrives when other Electric-type Pokémon are on the bench. This helps him reach a constant 90 damage. The beauty of this deck, however, is how cheap the retreat cost is.

Speed ​​is the main selling point for this deck. It's easy to set up the opponent and hit them with powerful moves. It can also react quickly if your opponent tries to hit you with Sabrina. With Pokémon that can hit your opponent's Active and Benched Pokémon, this deck is the fastest way to reach three points and achieve victory.
