What is the best deck? The highest score was achieved by the Mewtwo-ex deck, an old favorite that continues to play a leading role. The following cards are mentioned:
- 2 Mewtwo ex
- 2 Trasla
- 2 Kirlia
- 2 Gardevoir
- 1 Mew ex
- 2 Professor’s Research
- 2 Pokéball
- 2 Mythical Table
- 2 Leaf
- 1 Sabrina
- 1 Giovanni
- 1 Blue
It can be seen: Even in the early days of TCG Pocket, the Mewtwo-ex deck was feared, but it has now been supplemented with cards from the new expansion. Mew ex, the Mythical Table, Leaf, and Blue are perfect additions to the deck, which primarily revolves around supplying Mewtwo with plenty of energy and then dealing massive damage. Meanwhile, Mew ex serves as a powerful counter against some of the strongest cards in the game.
More strong decks: In second place is the Gyarados-ex deck, which has been possible since the new expansion. The Gyarados card can withstand a lot, deals considerable damage, and can disrupt the energy structure on the field quite a bit. With Misty, it can be quickly supplied with lots of energy if you are lucky. The cards:
- 2 Magikarp
- 2 Gyarados
- 2 Froxy
- 2 Ampharos
- 2 Greninja
- 2 Shardrago
- 2 Professor’s Research
- 2 Pokéball
- 2 Leaf
- 2 Misty
Following are:
- The classic Pikachu-ex deck
- The new Celebi-ex deck, which can deal extreme damage
- The Aerodactyl-ex deck
