Pokemon TCG Pocket's best decks to build and play with

Here are some of the best decks to build right now in Pokemon TCG Pocket, with suggestions of alternative free-to-play cards to use in the interim while you wait to pull those rare ex cards.

UPDATE: We've put together some new decks using the Space-Time Smackdown expansion and added them to this list. These include deck guides for Cresselia ex, Yanmega ex, Darkrai ex and Weavile ex, Dialga ex and Lickilicky ex, Infernape ex, and Lucario.

Pokemon TCG Pocket currently boasts over 200 cards for players to collect, and with enough of those — and plenty of duplicates — players can build some impressive decks to battle with. Consisting of just 20 cards, these decks don’t require all that much on paper, but the best decks in the casual, mobile TCG require a lot of good luck given the rare cards they feature.

Most of the best decks in Pokemon TCG Pocket are built around rare ex cards, such as Mewtwo ex or Charizard ex, and even if you’ve only one of these to spare, there are still plenty of alternative ‘mons to use alongside them while you wait for the luck of the draw to be on your side. Here are some of the best Pokemon TCG Pocket decks to build and play with, with suggestions of alternate free-to-play friendly cards you can use while you continue your hunt for rare cards.


Best Pokemon TCG Pocket decks to play with

The best Pokemon TCG Pocket decks can be quite costly to build, with many requiring you to have multiple of the same rare cards to really make the most of it. Take the below Charizard ex and Blastoise ex decks, for example, which both require you to have two Charizard ex’s or two Blastoise ex’s respectively, among other cards you may not already have.

With this in mind, we have attempted to offer alternative free-to-play friendly cards in these deck build guides, so that you can experiment with these decks while waiting to pull the remaining cards you need.

On top of that, we’ve also worked on providing some free-to-play friendly deck guides with our Rapidash/Ninetales deck, but these still require that you have many duplicates of Common/Uncommon cards. If you have any other suggestions for free-to-play friendly decks and cards, do let us know in the comments!

Don’t forget that you can also craft cards you need using Pack Points, but be careful not to spend all of these at once; they’re best spent on Trainer Cards before you start saving up for the Pokemon you want.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Charizard ex deck

The best Charizard ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is currently one of the best decks in the game, largely due to the fact that Charizard ex’s Crimson Storm attack is one of the only attacks that can knock out opposing ex Pokemon in a single turn.

  • 2x Charizard ex
  • 2x Charmeleon
  • 2x Charizard
  • 2x Moltres ex OR 2x alternative Pokemon
  • 1x Meowth
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x X Speed
  • 1x Red Card
  • 2x Potion

Given that Charizard ex is so powerful, he does require a lot of setting up, and a lot of Energy. If you happen to have Moltres ex and get the cards you require early on in the battle, the victory is pretty much all yours unless something goes horribly wrong.

Charizard ex can also be played with other Fire-types that aren’t Moltres ex, but attaching the Energy that Charizard ex requires will take significantly longer, so bear that in mind.


The Genetic Apex Mewtwo ex card in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown

Pokemon TCG Pocket Mewtwo ex deck

The best Mewtwo ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket relies on Gardevoir to consistently stack Energy on Mewtwo ex, so they can continuously use their Psydrive attack.

  • 2x Mewtwo ex
  • 2x Ralts
  • 2x Kirlia
  • 2x Gardevoir
  • 1x Meowth
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Potion
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2 x Sabrina
  • 1x Red Card

A free-to-play alternative to this deck, outlined in the above guide, swaps the Gardevoir evolution chain for Weezing. While this deck is not as powerful and will take longer to set up, it’s worth trying if you want to put your Mewtwo ex to work.


The Venusaur ex card from Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Venusaur ex deck

The best Venusaur ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is a personal favorite of mine. This Grass-type deck uses Lilligant to stack Energy onto our primary Pokemon, Venusaur ex, who can attack while healing itself, making it quite the annoying opponent.

  • 2x Venusaur ex
  • 2x Ivysaur
  • 2x Bulbasaur
  • 2x Lilligant (can be swapped for 2x Exeggutor ex, or 1x Butterfree)
  • 2x Petilil (can be swapped for 2x Exeggcute, or 2x Caterpie and 1x Metapod)
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x Erika (can be swapped for 2x Potion)

Accompanying this deck with Erika means you can regularly heal up your Pokemon, making Venusaur ex hard to knock out. You can also attempt this deck with the likes of Exeggutor or Butterfree if you do not have Lilligant, but ultimately, Lilligant is the best ‘mon to use alongside Venusaur ex right now.


The Blastoise ex card in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Blastoise ex deck

The best Blastoise ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket focuses solely on the Water-type ‘mon, but brings along Lapras ex — a high damage, high HP, self-healing Water-type — to tank damage for us while we set Blastoise up.

  • 2x Squirtle
  • 2x Wartortle
  • 2x Blastoise ex
  • 1x Lapras ex
  • 1x Meowth
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Misty
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 1x Potion
  • 1x Poke Ball

We also bring along Meowth in case worst comes to worst and we need to draw more cards to complete the Blastoise evolution chain. Though, with Professor’s Research and Poke Balls to hand, you could always swap this for another Lapras ex if you’ve got one, or even Articuno ex.


The Genetic Apex Secret Rare Gengar ex card in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Gengar ex deck

The best Gengar ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket isn’t too costly to build provided you have at least two Gengar ex’s already. Paired with Hypno or an alternate Pokemon capable of messing with opponents — be it Jigglypuff, Pigeot, or Weezing — this Gengar ex deck is anti-supporter, and will put many opposing decks in an awkward spot.

  • 2x Gengar ex
  • 2x Haunter
  • 2x Gastly
  • 2x Drowzee
  • 2x Hypno - you can swap Drowzee/Hypno for Weezing OR Pidgeot evolution chains
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Potion OR 2x Giovanni

Even if you only have one Gengar ex, you can use standard Gengar cards in the meantime. This will make the deck less powerful given that Gengar has less attack power and HP than Gengar ex, but you will still be preventing opposing players from using the likes of Sabrina, Blaine, Misty, and more, which is

Pokemon TCG Pocket Blaine Fire-type deck

The best Blaine deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is the one of the most free-to-play friendly deck on this list. It transforms the Rapidash deck (one of three decks that can be given to you at the beginning of your time in Pocket) and turns it into a relatively strong Fire-type deck. Though, this arguably has nothing on the Charizard ex deck listed above.

  • 2x Ninetales
  • 2x Vulpix
  • 2x Ponyta
  • 2x Rapidash
  • 1x Growlithe and 1x Arcanine ex OR 2x Magmar - or you can use Fossil Cards instead
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Blaine
  • 2x Sabrina

Ninetales and Rapidash are your main damage-dealers here, with Blaine able to bolster their damage even further. There’s plenty of opportunity to customise this deck too. Have Moltres ex to hand? Use them over Arcanine ex. Have neither? Use Magmar to make the most of the Blaine Trainer Card, or even Fossil Cards to keep your main ‘mons safe while you set up.


A card list for a Lapras ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown, alongside an image of the deck being built
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Lapras ex deck

The best Lapras ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket uses just four Pokemon cards; two Lapras ex, and one Staryu/Starmie ex. This is all you need, and it makes for one formidable deck that has had my opponent's constantly conceding whenever I've been using it.

  • 2x Lapras ex
  • 1x Staryu
  • 1x Starmie ex
  • 2x Fossil Cards
  • 2x Misty
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x Giovanni
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Potion

This deck relies on the Misty Supporter Card to quickly stack Lapras ex with Energy. If you're in luck, you can conclude a battle by the time turn three or four rolls around if your opponent unfortunately has no Pokemon on their bench.

Once Lapras ex has energy and can use its Bubble Drain attack, they can dish out damage while healing themselves for 20 HP each attack. If their HP runs too low and you've ran out of Potion Item Cards, you can then switch to the reliable Starmie ex, who needs just two Energy for their 90 damage attack. This deck is, honestly, silly levels of simple, yet incredibly overpowered.


A card list for a Starmie ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown, alongside an image of the deck being built
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Starmie ex deck

The best Starmie ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket needs no introduction, as you have no doubt come across this deck in PvP battles countless times already. This deck uses the Misty Supporter Card to stack Energy on either Articuno ex or Lapras ex while Starmie ex gets to work depleting the opposing Pokemon's HP.

  • 2x Staryu
  • 2x Starmie ex
  • 2x Articuno ex (or 2x Lapras ex)
  • 1x Froakie
  • 1x Frogadier
  • 1x Greninja
  • 1x Fossil Card
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Misty
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 1x Giovanni
  • 1x X Speed

Given Starmie ex's lack of retreat cost, and the fact it only requires two Energy to do 90 damage, makes them an incredibly powerful Pokemon to use. Once their HP runs low, you can simply switch in the Lapras ex or Articuno ex you have built to finish off the battle. You can do this the other way round, too, if you get lucky with Misty early or draw Articuno ex/Lapras ex before Starmie ex.


A card list for a Zapdos ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown, alongside an image of the deck being built
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Zapdos ex deck

The best Zapdos ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket relies on Zapdos ex as our main attacker, but also recruits the likes of Raichu and Lt. Surge to deal a huge attack on an opponent once Zapdos ex' HP runs low.

  • 2x Zapdos ex (can swap one of these for Pikachu ex)
  • 2x Voltorb
  • 2x Electrode
  • 1x Pikachu
  • 1x Raichu
  • 2x Fossil Cards (can swap for 1x Eevee and 1x Jolteon, if needed)
  • 2x Lt. Surge
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x Potion

You want to put Zapdos ex to work as quickly as possible with this deck, but can use Voltorb and Electrode to dish out damage in the interrim. Fossil Cards act as our counter to the opponent using the Sabrina Supporter Card, so we don't put a low HP Zapdos ex or our Raichu at risk.

When there's only one Pokemon left to knock out, we can then put Raichu into the Active Spot and use Lt. Surge to feed them Energy before dishing out one final devastating attack. That's if our Zapdos ex doesn't manage to do the job quick enough.


The card list for a premium Pikachu ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown alongside a screenshot from the game of the deck being built
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Pikachu ex deck

The best Pikachu ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is one that features a lot of rare ex cards, namely multiple copies of Pikachu ex and Zapdos ex. That said, players can also run Pikachu ex alongside Raichu and Lt. Surge for a riskier deck that is a lot of fun to play with, and themed around fan-favourite 'mon, Pikachu.

  • 2x Pikachu ex
  • 2x Zapdos ex
  • 2x Voltorb
  • 2x Electrode
  • 2x Giovanni
  • 2x Potion
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x X Speed

If the meta deck outlined above features a few too many rare cards you don't yet have, namely Zapdos ex, then switch out the Zapdos ex and Giovanni cards for Pikachu and Raichu cards. Then, switch out your Potions for Lt. Surge Supporter Cards.

You'll use Pikachu ex in the same way as you would a meta deck, making them do damage while having your bench filled with Electric-type Pokemon, but you can then use Raichu and Lt. Surge to end the battle with a 140 damage attack where needed.


The card list for a Machamp Fighting-type deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown alongside a screenshot from the game of the deck being built
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Machamp deck

The best Machamp deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is free-to-play friendly for the most part, with the two rarest cards you need being copies of Machamp. That said, this deck can easily be made more powerful than it already is by swapping Machamp for Machamp ex, or swapping Mankey and Primeape for Cubone and Marowak ex, if you have them.

  • 2x Machamp
  • 2x Machoke
  • 2x Machop
  • 2x Mankey
  • 2x Primeape
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina (can be swapped if running Grapploct)
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Potion

All in all, this is a challenging but fun deck to play with when the luck of the draw is on your side. You get to use Primeape to dish out plenty of damage while building Machamp, and given that they're both capable of dealing 100+ damage, they're solid competition for most meta decks if you can get the cards you need fast enough.


The card list for a Water-type Dragonite deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown alongside a screenshot from the game of the deck being built
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Dragonite deck

A Dragonite deck can be built in multiple different ways in Pokemon TCG Pocket given that the Pokemon requires both Electric and Water Energy to use its main attack. Which deck is for you will largely depend on the cards you have available to you, but in our opinion, a Dragonite Water-type deck is the best route to go down if you have some Water-type ex Pokemon.

  • 2x Dragonite
  • 2x Dragonair
  • 2x Dratini
  • 2x Lapras ex (can swap for more free-to-play friendly cards)
  • 2x Fossil Card
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Potion

If you don't have Water-type ex Pokemon such as Starmie ex, Lapras ex, or Articuno ex, then try Dragonite alongside Electric-type Pokemon such as Pikachu ex, Zapdos ex, and easier to attain Pokemon such as Electrode or Pincurchin.


The rare full art Alakazam card and standard Alakazam card from Pokemon TCG Pocket are shown beside one another
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Alakazam deck

The best Alakazam deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket uses Alakazam to take on opponents, and Hypno to put our opponents to sleep so that they, hopefully, don't attack us back. The great thing about Alakazam is how they punish opposing Pokemon who require multiple Energy, such as Mewtwo ex or Charizard ex.

  • 2x Abra
  • 2x Kadabra
  • 2x Alakazam
  • 2x Drowzee
  • 2x Hypno
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x X Speed
  • 2x Potion

Hypno can coin flip from the bench and provided it successfully lands on heads, you can send your opponent's Pokemon to bed. This gives Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam ample time to build their Energy, evolve, and attack the opposing Pokemon, with Alakazam dealing damage depending on the Energy your opponent's Active Pokemon has. This makes light work of most ex Pokemon.


A card list for a Pokemon TCG Pocket Vileplume deck is shown, alongside a screenshot from the game of the deck being built
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Vileplume deck

It doesn't get more off meta than a Vileplume deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, but I've found myself pleasantly surprised by how well this deck can perform against formidable opponents, such as Mewtwo ex and Zapdos ex. Using just two Pokemon evolutions, Lilligant and Vileplume, this deck is all about putting your opponents to sleep and hoping they stay that way.

  • 2x Vileplume
  • 2x Gloom
  • 2x Oddish
  • 2x Lilligant
  • 2x Cottonee
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Erika
  • 2x Potion
  • 2x Sabrina

Provided the luck of the draw is on your side, you want to have Lilligant poking at opposing Pokemon while loading Vileplume with Energy. When Vileplume is ready or Lilligant is low, switch in Vileplume, attack, and watch your opponent's doze off. Now, you also need to hope they stay asleep!


The Immersive Rare Celebi ex card from Pokemon TCG Pocket's Mythical Island set is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Celebi ex deck

With the launch of the Mythical Island mini-set comes new deck possibilities in Pokemon TCG Pocket, and this Celebi ex deck — which uses Serperior to double up on Energy — is one of them, quickly putting Grass-type decks such as Venusaur ex to shame.

  • 2x Celebi ex
  • 2x Serperior
  • 2x Servine
  • 2x Snivy
  • 2x Dhelmise
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Erika
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x X Speed

That said, those still collecting cards could try throwing either 'mon — Celebi ex, or Serperior — into their current Grass-type decks and likely still benefit from Serperior's Jungle Totem ability (provided you build them in time!), which makes all Grass-type Energy count as two Energy when attached to a Grass-type Pokemon.


Left to right: Full Art Gyarados (Genetic Apex) and Vaporeon (Mythical Island) cards from Pokemon TCG Pocket are shown beside one another
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Pokemon TCG Pocket Gyarados ex deck

Gyarados from the Genetic Apex set in Pokemon TCG Pocket is alright, but Gyarados ex — and some new Water-type cards such as Vaporeon — make a Gyarados-focused deck a real possibility. The sea creature requires a lot of Energy to attack, which makes using them over stronger ex cards (such as Articuno ex or Lapras ex) not the greatest of ideas.

  • 2x Magikarp
  • 2x Gyarados ex (or 2x Gyarados)
  • 2x Eevee
  • 2x Vaporeon
  • 2x Articuno ex
  • 2x Misty
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x Leaf (or 2x X Speed)
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Poke Ball

This has changed with the introduction of Mythical Island's Vaporeon and it's Wash Out Ability, which lets you transfer Water-type Energy from your Benched Pokemon onto your Active Pokemon. Use Articuno ex, or whatever strong Water-type you feel like using to kick things off before retreating them. Then, move your Gyarados ex into the Active Spot, transfer the Energy over using Vaporeon, and have them finish off the fight!


The Pidgeot ex card of the Mythical Island set is shown in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Image credit: VG247/The Pokemon Company

Pokemon TCG Pocket Pidgeot ex deck

The best Pidgeot ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket isn't the most powerful of decks by any means, but it is good fun to use. Pidgeot ex relies on our opponent having as many benched Pokemon possible as their attack, Scattering Cyclone, will do more damage for each Pokemon on your opponent's side of the playmat.

  • 2x Druddigon
  • 2x Pidgey
  • 2x Pidgeotto
  • 2x Pidgeot ex
  • 1x Hitmonlee
  • 1x Hitmonchan
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Pokemon Flute
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x X Speed

This deck uses Druddigon to stall, given that its Rough Skin ability damages any opposing Pokemon that attacks it, while we get Pidgeot ex built. We'll also use the likes of Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan in combination with Sabrina and/or X Speed to knock out basic Pokemon where possible, as this not only nets us Prize Points, but allows us to then use the Pokemon Flute to bench the opponents discarded Pokemon again. Then, we can guarantee increased damage with Pidgeot ex.


The Aerodactyl ex card from the Mythical Island expansion is shown in Pokemon TCG Pocket
Image credit: VG247/The Pokemon Company

Pokemon TCG Pocket Aerodactyl ex ex deck

The best Aerodactyl ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket uses the underrated ex Pokemon as its main attacker. This is a deck that is incredibly quick and easy to set up given that it only uses Stage 1 Pokemon (or Basic Pokemon) and none of them require any more than two attached Energy to be useful.

  • 2x Aerodactyl ex
  • 2x Old Amber
  • 2x Mankey
  • 2x Primeape
  • 1x Marshadow
  • 1x Hitmonlee
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x Potion
  • 2x X Speed

Aerodactyl ex is also a fantastic counter to decks that rely on Stage 2 Pokemon as their primary attackers, such as Blastoise ex, Venusaur ex, and Charizard ex decks, given that it's Primeval Law ability does not allow opposing active Pokemon to be evolved. This forces the opponent to retreat if they wish to evolve, and that's where Hitmonlee — who attacks benched Pokemon — can come in handy. They'll also stall Celebi ex decks that use Serperior on the bench.


The Dialga ex and Lickilicky ex cards from Pokemon TCG Pocket's Space-Time Smackdown booster expansion is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Dialga ex and Lickilicky ex deck

The best Dialga ex and Lickilicky ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket uses both ex Pokemon as attackers, though, Dialga's role in this particular deck is to stack itself and Lickilicky ex with Energy as soon as it possibly can. Once stacked, Dialga ex dishes out 100 damage, and while Lickilicky ex's attack does the same, a successful coin-flip can see them doing much more damage than that.

  • 2x Dialga ex
  • 2x Skarmory
  • 2x Lickitung
  • 2x Lickilicky ex
  • 1x Mew ex
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Leaf
  • 2x Rocky Helmet
  • 1x Giant Cape
  • 2x X Speed

We've also thrown a Mew ex into the mixer, given that it's likely — at the time of writing — to run into other Steel-type decks, and we're using a new favourite card of ours — Rocky Helmet — to chip away at opponents who attack our Pokemon.


The Lucario card from Pokemon TCG Pocket's Space-Time Smackdown booster expansion is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Lucario deck

The best Lucario deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket functions similarly to the Aerodactyl ex deck listed above, though is arguably even stronger thanks to Lucario's presence. Forgoing the likes of Mankey and Primeape for Riolu and Lucario, Lucario possesses a phenomenal ability — that can be used from the Bench — that allows all Fighting-type Pokemon to deal 20 additional damage.

  • 2x Old Amber
  • 2x Aerodactyl ex
  • 2x Riolu
  • 2x Lucario
  • 2x Marshadow
  • 2x Sabrina
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x X Speed (or 1x X Speed and 1x Leaf)
  • 2x Rocky Helmet

Having two Lucario live on the bench means your Aerodactyl ex, Marshadow, and Lucario itself can deal 40 additional damage, which can easily make all the difference in a tough battle. Top Aerodactyl ex or Lucario off with the Rocky Helmet Tool, which deals 20 damage to any opponent who dare attack them, and you've got one unsuspectingly powerful deck.


The Infernape ex card from Pokemon TCG Pocket's Space-Time Smackdown booster expansion is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Infernape ex deck

The best Infernape ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket works a lot like a Charizard ex deck, though this monkey-mon only requires two Energy to deal a staggering 140 damage. This Energy is then discarded as a result, of course, because this wouldn't be a Fire-type deck without an Energy-discarding caveat to keep in mind.

  • 2x Chimchar
  • 2x Monferno
  • 2x Infernape ex
  • 2x Moltres ex
  • 1x Magmar
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Rocky Helmet
  • 1x Leaf
  • 2x Dawn
  • 2x Pokemon Communication

Using Moltres ex to stack Energy onto Infernape ex, and with a Magmar thrown in there to hold Energy for us or do some 50 damage attacks if needed, this deck uses Dawn to move Energy around. With some luck, Infernape ex can attack as much as three times in a row thanks to Dawn. I still think I prefer a Charizard ex deck overall, but maybe it's worth trying a combination of the two... If you do that, let us know how it goes in the comments!


The Darkrai ex and Weavile ex cards from Pokemon TCG Pocket's Space-Time Smackdown booster expansion is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Darkrai ex and Weavile ex deck

The best Darkrai ex and Weavile ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket gives Dark-type enjoyers a real chance of withstanding the meta. With Mewtwo ex and now, Palkia ex, all over the show, Nidoqueen/Nidoking and Weezing/Muk decks have struggled and will continue to do so. With Darkrai ex and Weavile ex though, there's a chance of Dark-type decks performing much better.

  • 2x Darkrai ex
  • 2x Weavile ex
  • 2x Sneasel
  • 2x Spiritomb
  • 2x Cyrus
  • 2x Rocky Helmet
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Pokemon Communication
  • 1x Leaf
  • 1x X Speed

Using a combination of Darkrai ex and Weavile ex as your main attackers, this deck uses Darkrai ex's Nightmare Aura Ability, Spiritomb, and the Rocky Helmet Tool to constantly chip away at opponents HP. Cyrus forces the opponent to switch in a damaged Pokemon so we can then have Darkrai ex or Weavile ex finish the job. Weavile ex, however, does need some damage on them to perform at their best, so keep your Rocky Helmet away from them.


The Cresselia ex card in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Cresselia ex deck

The best Cresselia ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket uses Cresselia and Shaymin to repeatedly heal all Pokemon in play while Cresselia ex does the brunt of the attacking. Cresselia ex heals every time Energy is attached to them from the Energy Zone, hence bringing Gardevoir along to keep them stacked with the stuff.

  • 2x Cresselia ex
  • 2x Gardevoir (can be swapped for Dusknoir evolution line)
  • 2x Kirlia
  • 2x Ralts
  • 1x Shaymin
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Giant Cape
  • 1x Potion
  • 2x Pokemon Communication
  • 1x Sabrina
  • 1x Leaf

Cresselia ex is also a 140HP Pokemon which puts them under threat from other decks on this list, such as Gyarados ex or Palkia ex, which is why we're bringing along Giant Cape Tool cards, as well as a Sabrina and Leaf.


The Yanmega ex card in Pokemon TCG Pocket is shown
Image credit: The Pokemon Company/VG247

Yanmega ex deck

The best Yanmega ex deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket is costly, utilising both Yanmega ex and Dialga ex to really make the most of things. Essentially, Dialga is used to stack Yanmega ex with Energy here, but they can also be used as an attacker too where necessary.

  • 2x Yanma
  • 2x Yanmega ex
  • 2x Dialga ex
  • 1x Skarmory
  • 1x Rocky Helmet (for Skarmory)
  • 2x Giant Cape (for Yanmega ex)
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Dawn
  • 2x Leaf
  • 1x Sabrina (or Cyrus)
  • 1x Pokemon Communication

Like Cresselia ex, Yanmega ex has 140HP, so we're bringing the Giant Cape Tool card to keep them a little safer. Similarly, we're bringing a Rocky Helmet Tool card to make the most of Skarmory if needed, but we can use this on Dialga ex if we fancy.

Notably, Yanmega ex only uses Colourless Energy and must discard one upon attacking, which is where Dialga ex's Metallic Turbo - an attack that puts two Steel Energy on any Benched Pokemon - comes in good use.
