What are the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks?

With over 200 cards available in Pokémon TCG Pocket, knowing which deck to play isn't always easy. The new Pokémon card game offers a wide range of strategies, not all of which are equal. So what are the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks? This article should give you some ideas.

The qualities of the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks

On Pokémon TCG Pocket, no strategy is invincible. All decks, even the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks, have their weaknesses. But despite these weaknesses, some decks have a much higher chance of victory than others. Here are the 3 qualities that define the best decks:

• Speed : The Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks are those that can quickly put pressure on their opponents. The idea is to be able to inflict maximum damage with few evolutions and little energy.
• Flexibility : Pokémon TCG Pocket is a game where randomness plays a major role. Between the player who starts, the order in which the cards appear and the many coin tosses, the outcome of the match often depends on a simple stroke of luck. As a result, the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks are those that can work despite an unfavourable draw.
• Synergy : At present, the game is based on synergies between complementary cards that compensate for each other's weaknesses. The Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks are therefore those that are organised around a central card to increase their effectiveness.

We're now going to show you 4 decks that possess these qualities and are all among the best Pokémon TCG Pocket decks. All you have to do now is choose your next deck from among these!

Pikachu-EX and its bench, the most powerful deck in the game?

The idea is simple. Place Pikachu-EX, surround it with as many Bench Pokémon as possible and launch its devastating attack. Pikachu-EX is probably the best Pokémon available right now, because it's very quick to set up, excellent offensively and pretty tough for a basic Pokémon. It's therefore the ideal core card for one of the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks.

What's more, the Electric type is full of Pokémon with low retreat costs that can flee at the slightest danger without losing much energy. In short, a deck with very few counters, which has only one real flaw: the draw won't always give you enough Bench Pokémon quickly in the game.

Among the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks, the Water deck with Misty

With its ability to generate energy for any Water Pokémon, Misty is currently the only character that can knock out your opponent from turn 1. Admittedly, when the first throw hits the target, Misty proves as disappointing as the theory of bent packs. But even if Misty is a useless card every other turn, the simple fact that it can gain energy for the Water Pokémon of your choice makes it much stronger than other, more limited Supporters.

Misty can therefore take advantage of a wide range of excellent Pokémon Water, making this deck one of the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks. But even though it's a versatile deck, it suffers from an unfavourable match-up against the Pikachu-EX deck mentioned earlier.

Mewtwo-EX and Gardevoir, one of the top Pokémon TCG Pocket decks

Here's how this deck works: on the one hand, Mewtwo-EX is an overpowered Pokémon, but its best attack causes it to discard 2 Energy. On the other hand, Gardevoir is a rather passive Pokémon but with a monstrous talent that allows it to generate Psy energy.

Combine the two and you've got a combo that can inflict 150 damage every turn. The perfect ingredients for one of the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks.

On paper, this deck is unstoppable, but it's still very predictable and your opponent will do everything in his power to prevent you from evolving your Gardevoir.

Charizard-EX and Moltres-EX, mastering fire energy

The duo of Charizard-EX and Moltres-EX works almost like the duo of Gardevoir and Mewtwo-EX. On one side, Charizard-EX has a 200-damage attack, but this causes him to lose energy. On the other, Moltres-EX, who generates energy for Charizard-EX. But this time, the roles are reversed: Moltres-EX stays on the active post, while Charizard-EX gradually moves to the bench.

This deck is undoubtedly one of the Pokémon TCG Pocket best decks, as Charizard-EX is even more dangerous and offensive than Mewtwo-EX. But it relies more on randomness, and has a poor match-up against the Water and Electric decks.
