Using Ultra Ball, Battle Compressor and Scorched Earth to discard Fire Energy, you can prepare your discard pile for Blacksmith to quickly power up Entei. Taking advantage of Entei’s θ Double Ancient Trait, you can then double up on Assault Vests, subtracting 80 damage from the countless decks that rely on Special Energy to attack.

Garchomp

Pokémon (16)	Trainers (35)	Energy (9)
4x Gible 2x Gabite 4x Garchomp 2x Remoraid 2x Octillery 1x Hawlucha 1x Jirachi	2x Fighting Stadium 4x Korrina 2x Professor Sycamore 2x N 2x Lysandre 4x VS Seeker 4x Rare Candy 4x Level Ball 3x Trainers’ Mail 2x Ultra Ball 2x Max Potion 2x Focus Sash 2x Muscle Band	5x Fighting Energy 4x Strong Energy

With damage boosts from Strong Energy, Fighting Stadium and Muscle Band, Garchomp’s Bite Off can reach massive amounts of damage—enough to one-hit KO Mega Pokémon-EX! Octillery helps protect you from late-game hand disruption, ensuring you can continue to build and replace enough Garchomp to win.

Pokémon (10)	Trainers (46)	Energy (4)
4x Magikarp 3x Gyarados 1x Remoraid 1x Octillery 1x Shaymin-EX	4x Team Magma’s Secret Base 4x Professor Sycamore 2x N 2x Teammates 1x Lysandre 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Dive Ball 4x Trainers’ Mail 4x Puzzle of Time 4x Buddy-Buddy Rescue 3x Muscle Band 2x Lucky Helmet 1x Float Stone 1x Special Charge 1x Super Rod 1x Town Map	4x Double Colorless Energy

M Alakazam-EX

🐣 Suitable for Beginners  🤡 Fun to Play

Pokémon (13)	Trainers (37)	Energy (10)
4x Alakazam-EX 4x M Alakazam-EX 4x Wobbuffet 1x Hoopa-EX	4x Dimension Valley 4x Professor Sycamore 4x N 2x Lysandre 2x AZ 4x VS Seeker 4x Devolution Spray 4x Ultra Ball 4x Trainers’ Mail 4x Alakazam Spirit Link 1x Super Rod	6x Psychic Energy 4x Mystery Energy

Using only Psychic-type Pokémon, Wobbuffet’s Bide Barricade delivers one-sided disruption, denying your opponent the use of their Abilities while yours remain functional. This includes Alakazam-EX’s Kinesis, the key to the deck’s success. With four Devolution Sprays and two AZs, you’ll have plenty of chances to activate this Ability, piling damage on your opponent’s Pokémon. This damage then sets up M Alakazam-EX to score one-hit KOs with its Zen Force attack.

M Gallade-EX/Crobat

Pokémon (16)	Trainers (34)	Energy (10)
3x Zubat 3x Golbat 2x Crobat 3x Gallade-EX 3x M Gallade-EX 1x Hoopa 1x Jirachi	4x Dimension Valley 4x Professor Sycamore 2x N 2x AZ 2x Lysandre 1x Xerosic 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 3x Mega Turbo 3x Gallade Spirit Link 3x Trainers’ Mail 1x Startling Megaphone 1x Super Rod	10x Psychic Energy

Sneaky Bites & Surprise Bites from Golbat & Crobat allow you to spread damage across your opponent’s board, setting up M Gallade-EX to hit multiple Pokémon on your opponent’s Bench with its Unwavering Blade attack. Dimension Valley allows you to execute your attacks for less Energy, which, alongside Mega Turbo, helps you keep up with the fast decks of the format.

M Mewtwo-EX

🐣 Suitable for Beginners

4x Mewtwo-EX 3x M Mewtwo-EX 2x Trubbish 2x Garbodor 2x Shaymin-EX 1x Hoopa-EX	2x Shrine of Memories 1x Parallel City 4x Professor Sycamore 2x N 2x Lysandre 1x AZ 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Mega Turbo 4x Mewtwo Spirit Link 4x Float Stone 3x Trainers’ Mail	7x Psychic Energy 4x Double Colorless Energy

Using Double Colorless Energy and Mega Turbo, M Mewtwo-EX’s Psychic Infinity easily achieves huge amounts of damage. You can also catch an unsuspecting opponent off-guard with a Damage Change attack enabled through Shrine of Memories. Garbodor fits easily into this deck, making it more difficult for your opponent to set up the big attacks that can one-hit KO M Mewtwo-EX.

M Rayquaza-EX/Reshiram

🤡 Fun to Play

Pokémon (12)	Trainers (35)	Energy (13)
3x Rayquaza-EX 2x M Rayquaza-EX 2x Salamence-EX 2x Reshiram 2x Shaymin-EX 1x Hydreigon-EX	2x Scorched Earth 1x Parallel City 4x Professor Sycamore 2x N 2x Lysandre 1x Hex Maniac 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Mega Turbo 3x Trainers’ Mail 3x Rayquaza Spirit Link 2x Max Elixir 1x Float Stone 1x Super Rod 1x Escape Rope	8x Fire Energy 1x Lightning Energy 4x Double Dragon Energy

Reshiram’s Turboblaze, Max Elixir and Mega Turbo all work together to power up Rayquaza-EX’s Dragon Ascent, allowing you to unleash 300 damage on your opponent! Salamence-EX works great as a back-up attacker, helping you claim your six Prize cards.

Machamp/Ariados

Pokémon (12)	Trainers (35)	Energy (13)
3x Machamp-EX 2x Spinarak 2x Ariados 2x Landorus 2x Shaymin-EX 1x Hawlucha	2x Fighting Stadium 4x N 3x Professor Sycamore 3x Korrina 2x Lysandre 4x Ultra Ball 3x VS Seeker 3x Level Ball 3x Fighting Fury Belt 3x Max Elixir 1x Enhanced Hammer 1x Switch 1x Float Stone 1x Startling Megaphone 1x Super Rod	8x Fighting Energy 1x Grass Energy 4x Strong Energy

Using Ariados’s Poison Nest, you can poison your own Machamp, setting it up to deliver a 160-damage Crazy Hammer. With extra damage from Fighting Fury Belt and poison, you’ll achieve one-hit KOs against Pokémon-EX, while leaving your opponent with a beefy Pokémon to deal with.

Medicham

Pokémon (18)	Trainers (33)	Energy (9)
4x Meditite 4x Medicham 3x Carbink 3x Carbink BREAK 2x Regirock-EX 2x Hawlucha 2x Shaymin-EX	2x Fighting Stadium 1x Parallel City 4x Professor Sycamore 3x Korrina 2x N 1x Lysandre 1x Giovanni’s Scheme 4x VS Seeker 4x Focus Sash 3x Ultra Ball 1x Level Ball 1x Battle Compressor 1x Muscle Band 1x Escape Rope 1x Startling Megaphone 1x Professor’s Letter	5x Fighting Energy 4x Strong Energy

Carbink BREAK readies your Medicham to attack twice with its Ω Barrage Ancient Trait. In order to make those attacks count, you’ll need to rely on an arsenal of cards to boost the damage of its Yoga Kick. Strong Energy, Fighting Stadium, Muscle Band and Giovanni’s Scheme all allow you to do this, while Focus Sash makes up for Medicham’s low HP.

Primal Kyogre-EX

Pokémon (13)	Trainers (35)	Energy (12)
3x Kyogre-EX 3x Primal Kyogre-EX 2x Manaphy-EX 1x Glaceon-EX 1x Shaymin-EX 1x Articuno 1x Regice 1x Absol	4x Rough Seas 4x Professor Sycamore 4x N 2x Lysandre 2x AZ 1x Shauna 1x Pokémon Center Lady 4x VS Seeker 3x Dive Ball 2x Ultra Ball 2x Kyogre Spirit Link 2x Hard Charm 2x Professor’s Letter 2x Energy Retrieval	10x Water Energy 2x Double Colorless Energy

With both Professor’s Letter and Energy Retrieval, you’ll be able to find the extra Energy you need to take advantage of Primal Kyogre-EX’s α Growth, fueling its Tidal Storm attack. After attacking, you can transfer your Energy to whichever Water Pokémon is best suited to handle your opponent’s Pokémon, then easily retreat to it thanks to Manaphy-EX’s Aqua Tube.

Raichu/Crobat

Pokémon (24)	Trainers (27)	Energy (9)
4x Pikachu 4x Raichu 4x Zubat 3x Golbat 2x Crobat 4x Shaymin-EX 2x Yveltal 1x Dragonite-EX	4x Sky Field 4x Professor Sycamore 2x N 2x Lysandre 1x Teammates 1x AZ 1x Lysandre’s Trump Card 4x Ultra Ball 3x VS Seeker 2x Level Ball 2x Muscle Band 1x Float Stone	5x Darkness Energy 4x Double Colorless Energy

Sky Field allows Raichu’s Circle Circuit to reach an impressive 160 damage. Thanks to some help from Muscle Band and Golbat & Crobat’s Abilities, even Mega Pokémon-EX become vulnerable to being one-hit KOed by this attack. With help from Dragonite-EX’s Pull In and Lysandre’s Trump Card, you can recover enough Basic Pokémon to keep these big attacks coming.

Seismitoad-EX/Garbodor

🐣 Suitable for Beginners

Pokémon (11)	Trainers (42)	Energy (7)
4x Seismitoad-EX 3x Shaymin-EX 2x Trubbish 2x Garbodor	2x Faded Town 4x N 3x Professor Sycamore 2x Lysandre 2x Delinquent 2x Team Flare Grunt 1x AZ 1x Xerosic 1x Lysandre’s Trump Card 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Crushing Hammer 3x Float Stone 2x Head Ringer 2x Red Card 2x Muscle Band 1x Fighting Fury Belt 1x Enhanced Hammer 1x Special Charge	3x Water Energy 4x Double Colorless Energy

Quaking Punch is already difficult to deal with, but it becomes even deadlier when performed alongside Garbodor’s Garbotoxin. Unable to play Startling Megaphone, your opponent will struggle to regain access to their Abilities, leaving them unable to fight back against multiple Seismitoad-EX.

Seismitoad-EX/Slurpuff

🐣 Suitable for Beginners  🤡 Fun to Play

Pokémon (15)	Trainers (41)	Energy (4)
4x Swirlix 4x Slurpuff 3x Seismitoad-EX 2x Shaymin-EX 1x Lugia-EX 1x Giratina	1x Faded Town 1x Silent Lab 4x Professor Sycamore 1x N 1x Team Flare Grunt 1x Xerosic 1x Lysandre 1x Lysandre’s Trump Card 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Acro Bike 4x Crushing Hammer 4x Super Scoop Up 4x Trainers’ Mail 3x Muscle Band 2x Float Stone 1x Switch	4x Double Colorless Energy

With a 4/4 Slurpuff line and plenty of Items that draw cards, this deck aims to fully abuse Lysandre’s Trump Card, recycling Crushing Hammers as it delivers an endless stream of Quaking Punch attacks. If your opponent manages to present a formidable challenger to Seismitoad-EX through all of this, a single Lugia-EX can respond with Aero Ball to seal the game.

Serperior

🤡 Fun to Play

Pokémon (17)	Trainers (35)	Energy (8)
4x Snivy 4x Servine 4x Serperior 2x Shaymin-EX 1x Spinarak 1x Ariados	4x Forest of Giant Plants 4x Professor Sycamore 2x N 2x AZ 2x Lysandre 1x Giovanni’s Scheme 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Super Scoop Up 2x Level Ball 2x Trainers’ Mail 2x Revitalizer 2x Muscle Band 1x Float Stone	8x Grass Energy

With Forest of Giant Plants, you can use Servine’s Serpentine Strangle to paralyze your opponent’s Pokémon and then evolve again into an attacking Serperior, all on the same turn. Four Super Scoop Ups and two AZs allow you to repeat this process, torturing your opponent with non-stop paralysis.

Typhlosion

🤡 Fun to Play

Pokémon (15)	Trainers (24)	Energy (21)

3x Bronzor 3x Bronzong 3x Shaymin-EX 2x Zorua 2x Zoroark 2x Tyrantrum-EX 2x Giratina-EX 1x Hoopa-EX	3x Sky Field 3x Professor Sycamore 1x N 1x Misty’s Determination 1x AZ 1x Lysandre 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 3x Trainers’ Mail 3x Battle Compressor 2x Float Stone 2x Muscle Band 1x Heavy Ball 1x Special Charge 1x Super Rod	6x Metal Energy 1x Fighting Energy 4x Double Dragon Energy

After unleashing Dragon Impact from Tyrantrum-EX, Zoroark’s Stand In allows you to send Tyrantrum-EX to the Bench to be refueled by Bronzong’s Metal Links. Float Stone allows you to then freely retreat Zoroark back into Tyrantrum-EX, repeating this impressive attack on consecutive turns. With four copies of Double Dragon Energy, Giratina-EX easily fits into the deck, punishing the many decks that depend on Special Energy.

Vespiquen/Zoroark/Eeveelutions

Pokémon (25)	Trainers (31)	Energy (4)
4x Combee 4x Vespiquen 4x Unown 3x Shaymin-EX 2x Zorua 2x Zoroark 2x Eevee 1x Flareon 1x Jolteon 1x Vaporeon 1x Klefki	1x Forest of Giant Plants 1x Parallel City 3x Professor Sycamore 2x Lysandre 1x N 1x Teammates 1x Hex Maniac 1x Pokémon Ranger 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Battle Compressor 4x Puzzle of Time 1x Muscle Band 1x Float Stone 1x Special Charge 1x Revitalizer	4x Double Colorless Energy

With plenty of Pokémon, as well as four Ultra Balls and four Battle Compressors to discard them, Vespiquen’s Bee Revenge can reach lethal amounts of damage. Not only that, your line of Eeveelutions allows Vespiquen (and Zoroark) to hit three additional Weaknesses, ensuring more of your attacks deliver one-hit KOs.

Tip: Attach Klefki to Unown before using its Farewell Letter Ability, adding an extra 10 damage to Vespiquen’s Bee Revenge.

Xerneas BREAK/Dragons

Pokémon (13)	Trainers (33)	Energy (14)

Xerneas’s Geomancy allows you to accumulate Fairy Energy in play, building the damage of Xerneas BREAK’s Life Force. Max Elixir and Double Dragon Energy further boost your damage capabilities, while Exp. Share allows you to preserve enough Energy in play to keep the Life Force attacks coming.

Yanmega BREAK/Vespiquen

Pokémon (25)	Trainers (31)	Energy (4)
4x Combee 4x Vespiquen 4x Yanma 4x Yanmega 3x Yanmega BREAK 4x Unown 2x Shaymin-EX	4x Forest of Giant Plants 4x Professor Sycamore 2x N 1x AZ 1x Judge 1x Lysandre 4x VS Seeker 4x Ultra Ball 4x Battle Compressor 2x Level Ball 2x Revitalizer 1x Float Stone 1x Special Charge	4x Double Colorless Energy

Relying on two Pokémon that are both Energy-efficient attackers, this deck manages to keep up with the constant KOs low-HP Pokémon face in the format.

3x Oddish 3x Gloom 3x Vileplume 3x Zygarde-EX 2x Carbink 2x Carbink BREAK 2x Shaymin-EX 1x Lucario-EX 1x Zygarde	4x Forest of Giant Plants 4x Professor Sycamore 4x N 4x AZ 3x Lysandre 4x Ultra Ball 4x Trainers’ Mail 3x Level Ball	6x Fighting Energy 4x Strong Energy

Foregoing some of the fancier bells and whistles, like Fighting Fury Belt, Tord manages to fit a thick 3/3/3 Vileplume line and plenty of Items, ensuring his list can consistently produce a Turn 1 Vileplume. Under Vileplume’s Irritating Pollen, opponents will struggle to deal with the Zygarde-EX powered up by Carbink BREAK’s Diamond Gift.
