Pikachu ex / Joltik
Aggro · Standard · Lightning
Topaz Charge
This is an aggressive lightning-type deck that leverages Pikachu ex as your primary attacker with its devastating "Topaz Bolt" attack (300 damage), supported by Joltik's "Jolting Charge" attack for explosive energy acceleration.
Charizard ex / Pidgeot ex
Combo · Standard · Fire / Darkness
Charizard
The most dominant engine in standard. Pidgeot's Quick Search finds any card every turn; Charizard closes games with massive damage output.
Gardevoir ex / Scream Tail
Control · Standard · Water
Blastoise
Psychic control engine using Gardevoir's Psychic Embrace to stack energy and Scream Tail to lock opponents out of key turns. Extremely punishing against glass-cannon decks.
Dragapult ex / Regidrago VSTAR
Aggro-Combo · Standard · Dragon / Lightning
Dragonite
Arguably the most explosive deck in standard right now. Regidrago VSTAR copies Dragon attacks from the discard Dragapult's Phantom Dive spreads 50 damage to every benched Pokémon.
Grimmsnarl
Midrange · Standard · Darkness
Grimmsnarl
Future-type electric midrange. Miraidon floods your bench instantly; Iron Hands ex delivers 200+ unstoppable damage with Mimikyu as a tech counter to single-prize strategies.
Miraidon ex / Iron Hands ex
Midrange · Standard · Fighting
Garchomp
Future-type electric midrange. Miraidon floods your bench instantly; Iron Hands ex delivers 200+ unstoppable damage with Mimikyu as a tech counter to single-prize strategies.
