The pain of pulling the two Charizard EX that I wanted, and then realising I need two more EX cards in Moltres for him to be playable

[@buffalufacus]

So, this may just be a me thing, because I'm going into this game mostly cold...but I think it might be super helpful for new players if at some point during the deck, you mention which packs cards need to be pulled from. That way if a person is super stoked about a certain Pokemon, they can easily just go in and start ripping those specific packs and not have to do a ton of extra searching around for the answer.

I don't know... I personally prefer running normal Gengar over EX tbh 1 Energy, its attack does the exact same thing as the ability, and it only goes down for 1 point while also having a lower retreat cost. The advantages are there

[@Kulkogo]

I’m so disappointed that they designed my favorite Gen 1 pokemon like that. He deserves better.

[@coltsfan354]

I love Kabutops, but it should be reminded that Fossils don't count as basics for your opening guaranteed draw. So with the Machamp deck, for example, you will always have a Machop in your opening hand. Kabutops is a very sticky fallback, but you should be prepared to always open with Machop, and hopefully through the rest of the line, to just keep cruising focusing solely on the Machop for the first few turns. You could also throw in some X-Speeds to get the Kabutops out, as well.

[@Akamaru015]

Hey Spragles, as much as I LOVE ex pokemon, I have been absolutly SHITTING on all of these ex decks with Nidoking Nidoqueen and Arbok. I have also put in a single copy of Meowth right now for testing. and its just SO broken especially when they try to stall you out with moltres. eventually they bring out the zard kill the meoth then i bring in arbok lock in the zard with 60 dmg on him bring out the queen with two kings on my board and ANNIHALATE it. the deck is so good. I run pokeball x2 and Oak x2 i will almost ALWAYs have my entire evo line or even my deck before anythign happens. Nidoran F is just so free if you attack first as well bring in some x speeds to get them out for free and get the arbok in early and take out EX pokemon for the 2 points. its just the ultimate EX buster. Deck list Meowth x1 Nidroan M x2 Nidoran F x1 Ekans x2 Nidorina X1 Nidoran X2 Nido queen X1 Nido King x2 Arbok X2 Pokeballs X2 xspeed X1 red card X1 Professor research x2 And the way you use pokeballs in this deck is so nice. you use them BEFORE you oak every time and sometimes they can become dead cards but you will almost ALWAYS have every basic you need. pulling the meowth is crazy unlucky sometimes, but having him on the feild for even 1 attack is so instrumental making it so you draw at most 6 cards of your 20 card deck on trun 1 is INSANE. 1 meowth 2 pokeballs and professor plus your draw is 6 and you may hate to see the red card but heres the beauty. as long as you have both pokeballs not even a red card will stop you because you get an ekans nidoran male and F on the feild and your meowth will keep pumping draws for evos because thats all thats left in your deck. the win rate is crazy i have a 89% W/R I will almost always loose to water Articuno x Blastoise with a misty trainer card that gives blastoise or articuno like 4 energy turn 1. but thats so broken its insane. I also loose to not drawing meowth, pokeball, or professo, or Nidoran F on the open hand but thats literally a 3rd of your deck (8 cards out of 20) on a 5 card hand draw is insanly unlocky. This deck also pulls alot of retreat shenanigans and can really punish low hp EX's when a nidoking comes out. I am currently testing a Misty trainer instead of meowth and a red card. the reason being. well you only need 1 Colored energy in this deck. and being super effective to mew two it makes it that much more amazing. but its much more luck based id rather have the draw turn and play retreat shenanigans with x speed to get the queen powered up while nido king takes a back seat. P.S Nidoqueen is the power house that flips games 180 dmg for 3 energy and two Kings on your bench or even 130 is insane.

I've noticed the Dark cards in this game are sneaky good, and I'm keen on making EX killer decks for their point stamina and general element of surprise. Would love to build a deck like this but gotta keep rippin for now! My current main deck relies on two Stage 2s to work (albeit incredibly efficient S2s in both move and retreat cost) but I still find they take up a lot of space in the deck and fail to set up cleanly about 25% of the time.

I'm playing it with meowth and psyduck. Meowth is the better opener to quickly get and evolve to Gengar. Psyduck as an additional basic since you really don't want to start with ghastly. Psyducks attack is similar to gengar ex, locks people into using supporter cards.

Gengar EX/Gardevoir has been my go-to deck as well. I have one Mewtwo EX in it and only one copy of Gardevoir (they refuse to give me a second one). I've had pretty decent success with it. 2-2-2 gengar, 2-2-1 gardevoir (;_;), 1 mewtwo ex, 2x professor's research, 2 pokeballs, 1 x-speed/potion, 1 giovanni/sabrina.

Honestly the more i get into it and learn the card the more i believe tcg pocket might just be the greatest remake pokemon has ever made. All of the cards really feel true to their original design from the GBA version, right down to the legendary birds. Things that were overpowered like haymaker and rain dance have been toned down into newer versions and decks that didn’t really function like flying and surfing pikachu have been reimagined into pikachu ex. I’m really enjoying my time with the game and I’ll probably actually start spending a little money in game just to reflect that. That’s for your effort making content because you’ve really made enjoying this game easy.

I’ve been running the mewtwo X gardevoir deck with a Golett/Golurk and been sweeping with that. Golett is a great start because it has 90 health and can just tank hit after hit from most things until your mewtwo is fully charged. Then X speed into mewtwo and start the sweep

[@clapforthunder2722]

Okay I have not seen this deck anywhere but I am really convinced that 2-2-2 Machamp ex and 1-1-1 Kabutops is a top tier deck. Winning just under 2/3 games with it right now. You save so much room by reducing that secondary line size + only having to run one pokeball and the consistency that you get from always starting with a chop is insane.

+1 to this. I'm running x2 butterfree x2 liligant venu ex and And ericas. Of course professor and pokeballs to get to my cards faster 70 heals a turn on venu in the active slot, I wouldn't be surprised if butterfree got nerfed.

[@solidzack]

For consistency you'd have to run 2 of each of the evo line. That makes 6 for Venusair and another 6 for Butterfree. That's simply too bricky. Now Exeggutor-EX could be a different story. 160 HP makes it quite tanky and combined with Erika, Potions and Butterfree you could keep applying pressure while continuously healing off damage and it's only a basic Pokémon. Not sure how viable this strategy would be, since the game is quite speedy when it comes to damage output

[@solidzack]

Update: Just tried out this deck for fun and had the most insane duel yet. The opponent had TWO Gardevoir and a Mewtu-EX with 4 energies in play, I had a Venusaur-EX with 4 Energy, a Butterfree on bench and an Erika and a potion in hand and another Erika in the deck. Both of us needed a single point to win. Not only did Venusaur tank the 150 attack Psydrive, but it managed to heal back to 160 health thanks to Erika, the potion, Butterfree and giant bloom and it put the Mewtu in a position where it would be defeated by the Venusaur, should it attack again. So the opponent kept switching back and forth and used the 2 Gardevior to instantly meet the required energy, but it wasn't enough. Venusaur was just that tanky and healed most of the received damage. Eventually we both decked out and the opponent conceded once he realized there was no getting past the Venusaur. The deck is still not consistent enough, but when you pull the combo off there's not much that can get past this wall

[@solidzack]

Hold on, that pure Zapdos-EX deck looks actually interesting. It's like instead of a trainer battle, you're offering your opponent a boss fight Mystery Dungeon style. Throw in some old ambers and Aerodactyls and you got an emergency option in case you can't deal with an opposing Pokémon. As for Articuno, you could add the Omastar line and still guarantee an Articuno in hand. Pretty cool strategy imo

[@theyinyang1103]

The 18 support Articuno/Zapdos decks remind me of a deck i used in the other tcg online with only Guzzlord GX and energies. Use its Eat Sloppily as soon as you can to immediately get Guzzlord access to its Tyrannical Hole the next turn to just run every opposing ‘mon through with 180 damage.

[@ChocolateRain7272]

I’ve had a lot of success with both Blastoise and Arcanine, and I think there are some things that need to be leaned into to make those decks work though. I think for blastoise, you want multiple basics that can attack for 1 energy so you’re not spending two energy to get attacks down while you’re building up the big turtle man. Seaking and Lapras have been working for me a lot because they both have 100 HP and can hit hard in the right circumstances, which gives you time. While Starmie is only 2 energy, being an ex means if it goes down, your blastoise better be ready cause you have to throw it in. Where as spreading those points among 2 Pokémon helps you have more time to get rocking. Arcanine is the opposite. I see it as mini charizard. Three energy is pretty easy to get to with a single moltres flip, so with good positioning and Sabrina’s, you can sweep usually before they’re set up. It usually melts Pikachu ex decks because you can get online faster than Char and still one shot pika and zap with a Giovani. I’ve been pairing it with a Flareon as an alternative in case I do t get my Arcanine, but I’m not sure if that’s better than ninetails tbh

[@cameronlile2931]

The second pokeball in the Machamp/Kabutops deck seems pretty weak. You are guaranteed a machop at start of game and only have 1 other Machop you could even grab with pokeball. One of the rare decks where one ball is probably better as you spend the other card on another supporter

[@dittmar104]

I like playing pikachu with the magnetite line. You put the energy on your ex Pokemon and then you’re passively building up another Pokemon to retreat into and sack if needed

[@austinkennedy3798]

even though i have the meta mewtwo deck my favorite to play is my tank venasaur deck. it is a bit different from the ones you showed. i have 2 caterpies despite having only one metapod and one butterfree because sending catarpie first is viable for searching and if it gets killed you can slap your second one down on the bench and make it a butterfree to essentially have an all encompassing potion every turn to help tank venasaur making the possible heals per turn be erika 50 potion x2 40 attack move 30 and butterfree 20 which is also good against things that hurt your backrow making your venasaur heal for a potential max of 140 in one turn also i haveone snorlax which is a good starter it is a basic with 150 hp and a 4 energy 70 damage move most of the time you will just playu it and stack your bulba for energy but if your opp gets complacent and doesnt try to kill it you can give it the energy to deal 70 per turn at no cost and swap it out when necisarry the rest is pretty standardmandatory 2 pokeball in ecvery deck and mandatory prof research for draw power and 2 erika and 2 potion to maximize heals to maximize tank heals

[@TheGlennLife]

Really cool that this boosted my newbie confirmation bias I run a basic.. not very optimized marowak ex deck that is literally a modified starter sandslash deck. Came into it by chance and not knowing what I was doing lol

[@solidzack]

That was my first deck and it's pretty darn good for a beginners deck. Occasionally you can pick off an opponents Pokémon EX by surprise as Sandslash and Marowak's attacks add up to 150 HP and people won't play around the 1/4 chance of double heads from Marowak-EX. Also I got a good amount of cheesy wins with Hitmonlee, because people don't expect you to have one in hand, and carelessly put their hurt Pokémon on the bench or set up in the back while stalling.

[@ImTheMrFoxman]

I managed to pull 2 Alt art (whatever that’s called in the is game, one/two-star?) of the Pikachu EX. So I naturally built that deck and it also turns out it’s a pretty meta strong deck when fine-tuned. I ended up crafting electrodes because I already had the voltorbs and just used electabuzz instead of Zapdos Ex.

EX's are far too polarising and should never have been added this early. Yes, ppl experiment with no EX decks like I do but, let's face it, it's just Pikachu EX, Mewtwo EX, Moltres EX/Charizard EX, Starmie EX/Articuno EX. If these were never added until much later then it would be such a more enjoyable playing field with creative decks on equal power levels.

[@darkskyxgames]

@@matt-ns8ze Ex count as 2 so it is not as bad. The issue I see is using two different EX that basically can count as "4" pokemon and that's why EX deck are the best decks. Probably Nintendo needs to make just a maximum 1 or 2 of EX per deck.

[@matt-ns8ze]

@@darkskyxgames I'm also of the opinion that a player needs 4 points to win, not 3, simply due to the EX presence. I understand that they offer 2 points on an EX knock out but most of the time 1 EX has created enough distance that even if that EX is knocked out, the last point is still hard to get before the opponent finishes off your softened remaining pokemon, or throws out their 2nd powered up EX. I agree with you that there should be a limit to how many EX's can be in a deck. The high predictable dmg for minimal energy requirement plus high hp is just unnecessary.

[@darkskyxgames]

@@matt-ns8ze Yeah, 4 points would be balanced but also games would not be so fast. And there is still the issue of using 2 ex pokemon and 1 normal (counting as 5 points) vs 4 normal. My option is better, limiting EX per deck.

Coming from YuGiOh and never touching the Pokémon TCG the battles are far easier imo. That being said this is clearly more about collecting cards than something like duel links, duel links has tons of ways to just craft the cards you need to build a deck and this game is much stingier about giving you ways to get a card. It could just be how new the game is though so I’m cutting it slack for that.

[@jankounchained4211]

Hear me out on this one. Dragonite deck with Zapdos and Articuno EX, along side Jolteon and Vaporeon. I’ve crushed so many top tier decks with this set up, I hope this helps someone out!

[@solidzack]

I feel like the game is too fast to allow you to set up your EX Pokémon, Eeveelutions and Dragonite, especially when your opponent can easily obliterate you with 90+ attacks with only a few turns of setup.

[@jankounchained4211]

@@solidzack I know what you mean, but you’d be surprised. If you have the card try it out!

Centiskorch/moltres is great if you put it with ninetales and replace a giovanni with a blaine

you missed articuno with bruxish!!

[@randyjr.arsenio5624]

I hope Official tournaments make it so decks must be comprised of 2 or more kinds of energy. Single element decks make the game focused around pikachu and Mewtwo (and charizard) only..

[@elvismoisesgalvezmartinez7588]

Tu comentario es el más idiota que he leído en mucho tiempo 😂 Por qué diablos harían eso? Los mazos más efectivos son los que llevan un solo tipo de energía, y el TCG de Pokémon jamás te ha obligado a empeorar tu mazo solo porque un noob como tú no puede ganarle a nadie 😂😂😂

[@docxy7331]

The venusaur ex lilligant is almost point for point the main deck i wound up making

[@Ford-Anglia]

I'd love to see 2 more game-modes where you can bring 40 and 60 (maybe not 60) cards to a battle. Would give a lot more options, but battles would go for a while

[@AIIXIII0]

@@Ford-Anglia how's is the usual ratio in paper TCG? Feel like this 20 version is kinda bland.

[@Ford-Anglia]

@@AIIXIII0 I believe it's 60 cards, but I said in my comment that 60 might not be a good idea because of how long the battles could go on for.

[@AIIXIII0]

@Ford-Anglia Yeah. Maybe 30 is fine then? But isn't the TCG have like tons of energy cards in the deck?

[@Ford-Anglia]

@@AIIXIII0 I have this Battle Academy deck thing I got as a present, and it recommended to have 20 energy, 20 trainers and 20 pokemon. Not sure if the pros use more or less though.

@@Ford-Anglia ahhh so the last 20 for pokemon? Make sense they cut it down to 20 then. I hope it will increase to 25-30 since we don't have energy cards.

Really wanted to get an idea of how to play a blastoise deck, it's unfortunate, but I'm not playing to get competition, so I'm still playing best boi

[@kuenka91]

i replaced digglet / dugtrio with infernape and the promo mankey promo mankey does 30 and 10 recoil damage at 1 energy and infernape does a 100 if he has damage at 2 energy

[@joeyfobear790]

Could you still play that starmie deck with only one copy of starmie

[@mysticstrikeforce5957]

to be fair any deck can be good its just how you use it is what makes the difference. Also i realize flipping coins is not my dig. So i'm looking for a deck that doesn't do flip coins. I do however love pokemon who can use sleep cause the flip coin is on the enemy side. I do like how cards that attacks the bench to.

[@solidzack]

That's a weird way of thinking. You gotta flip a coin for paralysis? Not what you want. Your opponent flips a coin for sleep? Perfectly fine

[@themingler441]

I'm just kind of a noob, but it sucks how much luck is involved. It's all about whoever gets the bonus energy early through trainer (Misty etc) or Pokemon (Moltres etc) luck. It sucks having the game decided in the first round because I can't field something to catch up in time.

[@Fate_Dz]

Love this game so much, but i hate my luck 😂. Lost a game because i couldn't draw out my Charizard

[@RvnFromJubilife]

thats why its fun, play dragonite deck and youll see how random your attack did to your opponent.. 😅

[@FakeHeroFang]

Yeah, that just happens because there's no way to search your evolutions yet. Pikachu is the best deck right now because it doesn't have that problem.

[@dav1dpak]

New to the game here. Seems like these decks are very one sided. You’re either destroying or getting destroyed because of the elements. Is there a mixed deck strat?

[@Bittamin]

@@dav1dpak first time for me playing TCG too; that’s a fair assessment and I’m not sure if decks can be as versatile as a game like Magic but I’m too new to make claims

[@CapturedHolden]

Yeah, I’ve noticed this is the case with some decks I’ve made. For example, I’ve been using 2 of all of the gengar line, 2 of all of the pidgey line, 2 far fetched, 2 pokeball, 2 prof. Oak, and 2 potion. It’s overall pretty decent but once I fight a dark type, it crumbles. I don’t really have slots to make it better with either.

[@CapturedHolden]

I also don’t feel like it’s worth doing 2 different types of energy’s since that makes your match even more luck dependent

[@dandan3045]

At the moment not really, unless you want simply build a weird deck for fun. Maybe once more Pokemon cards people can build out more interesting decks.

[@toontastiix]

Correct me if I’m wrong but are you talking about energy? The problem is how energy is generated in this game in comparison to the real card game where energy are cards you can hold on to and save for when you need it. It’s really holding back the ability of multi type decks because it’s another piece of rng in an already rng heavy game, and u don’t rly want more rng if you can help it. Im not sure what the solution is without just making tcg online again but on mobile. I would like if they did that, but I dont know if they would. I hope that the success of this game will get them to just drop the tcg online on pc and integrate it as a ranked mode on pocket, and make the code cards in tcg packs let you get a pack in pocket. Then those things would actually get used for once

[@kintsugi3932]

I just pulled 3 EX wigglytuffs in a row. All three and a different type of rarity version. I didn't choose the wigglytuff life, it chose me.

[@raphaels33]

Here Is a hot take: maroak ex with kabutops Is actually pretty great. a lot of people are sleeping on this one...

[@muhammeddiab723]

Then as a complete beginner like me, what's the best deck to start with?

[@FTW1230]

Marowak, you get an ex from the charizard tutorial pull always. Makes the deck cheap to make and it’s simple. Then you can make a centiscoorch or charizard deck/ get Sabrina pulling from the charizard deck which is also good decks.

IMO, two Starmie EX and two Greninja make the best water deck. Maybe with one Articuno EX in there too.

That one cpu water deck on master difficulty is hell precisely because it runs this exact deck

[@araara8590]

Meowth imo is the best basic pokemon . Draw a card per turn is a powerful move

[@elvismoisesgalvezmartinez7588]

No, porque 1. Probablemente le estás regalando un punto a tu rival, pega muy poco y tiene muy poca vida. 2. Existe algo llamado TARJETA ROJA, que muchos mazos usan, y te reinicia la mano a 3 cartas, no importa si Meowth te intenta dar muchas cartas, te las van a quitar de la mano. Así que no, Meowth no es el mejor Pokémon. Tal vez lo sería si en vez de ser un ataque sería una habilidad. Eso sí sería buenísimo. Pero siendo un ataque, no, no es muy bueno

[@jasonjarmoosh]

Honestly, I kinda feel like the mewtwo decks are built wrong. Its not especially hard to take down a mewtwo and if you're trading their mewtwo EX for a single prizer they lose most of the time. Having a second cheap attacker in mewtwo helps a lot. I've kinda been liking clefable or jynx in the deck.
