This is the Best Meta Decks Tier List in Pokemon TCG Pocket (PTCGP). See the strongest & best decks in format (BDIF), recommended decklist and build in Pokemon TCGP.
The best decks in Pokemon TCG are the Exeggutor ex Deck and the Darkrai ex & Magnezone Deck. Both have top-tier usage and win rates, and it’s safe to say they are dominant in the current meta, consistently performing at the highest level.
Decks featuring cards that cannot be the main cards of the deck, such as Mew ex and Vaporeon, as well as those below Tier C, are excluded from the tier list.
This deck leverages Giratina ex's Ability for Energy acceleration, aiming to repeatedly deal 130 damage from the early turns. If you can switch to Arceus ex with Dawn, you can unleash powerful attacks as early as turn two, making this strategy particularly strong.
This deck focuses on stalling with Druddigon while setting up Gyarados ex and Greninja on the bench. Against opponents that Gyarados cannot one-hit KO, the strategy involves using Rough Skin or Water Shuriken to chip away at their HP, reducing it below 140 for a decisive follow-up attack.
This deck utilizes Darkrai ex's Ability to chip away at the opponent while Weavile ex efficiently deals damage. With a lineup of mid-range attackers, it is unlikely to get bad hands and excels at fast-paced attacking.
This deck focuses on preparing Gallade ex while using sub-attackers in the early game. It allows for quick attacks, ensuring damage output even before Gallade ex is fully set up.
- Gyarados ex's 140-damage attack is effective across matchups - Misty's coin flip effects can lead to high-impact plays - The set-up is heavily luck based and may take time
- The Darkrai + Weavile combo is powerful. - It can function with minimal Energy, reducing the chances of drawing bad hands. - The deck is somewhat lacking in high-damage attackers.
- Fighting-type Pokemon with powerful, fast-attacking moves. - There are plenty of potential sub-attacker alternatives. - It's important to deal damage in advance for Gallade ex.
- A highly stable deck centered around Mewtwo ex - The repeated use of Psydrive from mid to late game is powerful - It’s crucial to evolve Ralts into Gardevoir
- A Meowscarada-centered deck built to counter Pokemon ex - Can drag the game into a battle of endurance and fight persistently - Struggles significantly if the opponent is not using Pokemon ex
- Dialga ex's Energy Acceleration is strong. - Requires another card capable of dealing with strong attackers. - The downside is that it can't act until it has two energies attached.
- Charizard ex's high damage attack is very strong - Moltres ex's Energy Acceleration is helpful - Prone to bad hands typical of Stage 2 attackers like Charizard
- Combination of Darkrai ex & Magnezone is powerful - Magnezone can produce its own Lightning Energy - Requirement of Stage 2 Evolution may cause bad hands
- Being able to reliably discard the opponent's Energy is a powerful advantage - High damage can be dealt using Celebi ex - Since Beedrill ex is a Stage 2 Pokemon, it lacks offensive power in the early game
- Blastoise ex can be the main attacker for its high durability and attack power - A Water deck that doesn’t overly rely on Misty - Other Pokemon besides Blastoise can be easily defeated
- Wugtrio ex's total damage of 150 is impressive - Strong against decks that don't fill their bench - Targeting is random, making it somewhat luck-based
- Attack with Leafeon ex while setting up the next Pokemon - Consistent due to a limited number of Pokemon - Struggles if Leafeon ex doesn't come out quickly
- Charizard ex can repeatedly deal 150 damage - Only 2 Energy are needed for Charizard ex - Charizard ex, being a Stage 2 Pokemon, lacks offense in the early game
- Paldean Clodsire ex can apply aggressive pressure - If you can Poison the opponent from the Bench, it becomes extremely powerful - If the opponent is prepared for Poison, it can be difficult to maintain pressure
- Gholdengo's damage potential is limitless - Dialga ex provides excellent synergy by boosting Energy - It takes time to unleash its full damage potential
- You can aim to knock out both the Active and Benched Pokemon simultaneously - The key is whether you can repeatedly use Lucario ex's move - It takes a bit of time for it to reach its full potential
- Dealing 150 damage with just 3 Energy is quite powerful - Since Pikachu ex discards all Energy when attacking, it cannot use its move repeatedly - Luxray can deal heavy damage to benched Pokemon to take Prize cards as well
- Infernape ex's 2 Energy with 140 damage is powerful. - Move Energy with Dawn and repeatedly attack with Infernape ex. - The synergy between Giratina, Dawn, and Infernape ex is excellent.
- An Aggro deck with Magnezone as the finisher - Can be combined with various cards - Focuses on a build that takes advantage of being a Single-Prize deck
- Pachirisu ex's 2 Energy and 80 damage multi-attacks are a strong combination. - Can work regardless of whether you’re going to attack first or second. - Energy management can be a bit challenging.
- Although it depends on luck, dealing 160 damage with 3 Energy is quite powerful - Dialga ex can provide an Energy boost to Tinkaton ex - If Tinkaton ex's evolution is delayed, you may fall behind
- Boost Water Energy to power up Bibarel ex - Bidoof can also serve as a secondary attacker before evolving - Bibarel ex requires slightly heavy Energy to attack
