The 10 Best Pokemon Tech Cards

What’s poppin’ Po Town readers? I’m back with an awesome Pokemon TCG article that is certainly going to spice up your life! Have you ever heard of tech cards? Tech cards are cards that typically aren’t featured in a deck, but they can often add new win conditions. A good example would be adding Drapion V [Lost Origin] into your Arceus VSTAR [Brilliant Stars] / Duraludon VMAX [Evolving Skies] deck to have a better matchup against a Mew VMAX [Fusion Strike] deck. They aren’t always going to be effective, but in the right circumstances, they can add a certain element of surprise to your deck! This article will share some of the hottest tech cards that you can add to your decks, explain why, and what decks they can see success in! If you need to pick up any of these cards for your decks on PTCG Live, use code zlesage5 here at the PoTown store to save 5% off your code cards. If you need extra Credits, try picking up 400 codes of a set that you haven’t collected on Live yet, like Sword and Shield, to get a bunch of extra Credits (and cards to complete your collection). Let’s jump into these tech cards!

What’s poppin’ Po Town readers? Are you ready to explore our new Paldea Region? You might be wondering what I’m even talking about, but lemme explain! We are switching from our Sword and Shield to Crown Zenith format to our new E-block on format. Add our new Scarlet and Violet set in there, too, and the Standard metagame has flipped on its head. I’ve heard talk from many top players on Mew VMAX [Fusion Strike], Gardevoir ex [Scarlet and Violet], Lost Zone Box, Miraidon ex [Scarlet and Violet], and Giratina VSTAR [Lost Origin] decks, but I have a different idea! Arceus VSTAR [Brilliant Stars] / Giratina VSTAR / Flying Pikachu VMAX [Celebrations] is here and ready to shake up the metagame! Arceus VSTAR is great at accelerating Energy, Giratina VSTAR can OHKO anything, and Flying Pikachu VMAX should be able to deal with most single Prize Card attackers, right? Well, that's the theory of this deck and I’m hyped to share the strategy with you in this article! Stay tuned for my list, explanation of card choice, strategy, and more! If you need any Pokemon TCG code cards to finish this deck on Pokemon TCG Live, head over to the PoTown store and pick some up! Let’s jump into the list!
The best Scarlet and Violet deck - Gardevoir ex!

What’s poppin’ Po Town readers? Are you excited about the release of the Scarlet and Violet base set on PTCG Live? I know I am, but there is a lot going on right now! If you haven’t been keeping up with the Pokemon community lately, let me keep you updated on some important dates. Scarlet and Violet release on PTCGL on March 30, we rotate to “E-block” on the format on April 14 (effectively losing Sword and Shield to Shining Fates), and PTCGO won’t be receiving new cards from this point forward. Whether you love it or hate it, you’ll be forced into migrating to PTCGL if you wanna play Scarlet and Violet, but I think the game will only get better with more players actively playing it. One of the stand-out decks from the Scarlet and Violet base set and our upcoming rotation is Gardevoir ex [Scarlet and Violet]. Riku Sato already piloted it to a solid 2nd place out of over 3000 competitors at the recent Champions League Aichi Pokemon tournament in Japan so we already have a great idea about what the archetype should look like! In this article, I’ll share Sato’s list, explain the strategy, and more! If you wanna pick up some Pokemon TCG codes to build this deck instantly, head over to the PoTown store! I recommend picking up 400 Scarlet and Violet base set codes to complete most of the set and have some leftover Credits too! Let’s jump into this list!

What’s poppin’ Po Town readers? It's your boy Zach Lesage, and I’m back at it with a helpful article for our Pokemon TCG community! Have you heard about the upcoming Rotation? If you wanna know what I’m talking about, we are going to be losing cards in our Standard format starting on April 14, 2023. Losing cards might seem like a bad thing, but it allows different cards to shine, and we will be getting our new Scarlet and Violet set very soon too! That being said, there are quite a few important cards that we will be losing from our Standard format. Staple cards like Quick Ball [Sword and Shield], Scoop Up Net [Rebel Clash], and Crobat V [Darkness Ablaze] will all be saying goodbye to Standard. This article aims at helping our community find suitable replacements for some of the most impactful cards that are rotating! If you need to pick up any of the replacement cards for your decks, the PoTown store has the PTCG Live codes to suit your needs!

Regardless if you’ve been watching the official Pokemon live streams of events or you’ve taken the past few weeks off of the game, I got you covered in this article! At the recent 2023 Oceania International Championships in Melbourne, Australia, we saw the best Pokemon TCG players see success with the best Pokemon TCG decks. Lost Zone Box won it all, Lugia VSTAR / Archeops [Silver Tempest] came in second, and Mew VMAX / Genesect V [Fusion Strike] made the Top 4! What about the other Top 4 deck? Well, you might’ve guessed it from the name of this article - Regigigas also made Top 4 at the event! Professional Pokemon TCG player Rahul Reddy played the deck with great success and put it on the map for the whole community to enjoy again. Regigigas has seen some amount of success since its release back in Astral Radiance, but it has recently been struggling to get those top finishes, until now!

What’s poppin’ Po Town readers? Have you looked at the recent results from the 2023 Oceania International Championships in Melbourne, Australia? Well, even if you have, this Pokemon TCG article is going to help you understand the results as much as possible. International Championships are the most competitive events, outside of the World Championships, and many of the top players travel to these events to compete at the highest level. The Master's Division Champion, Azul Garcia Griego, won the event with a modified Lost Zone Box deck that featured Cramorant, Sableye, and Mirage Gate (Lost Origin). If the name sounds familiar, it should! Griego recently won the 2022 North American International Championships in Columbus, United States, with Arceus VSTAR / Flying Pikachu VMAX. As one of the best players in the game, his win has many asking a huge question, “Is Lost Zone Box secretly the best deck in the game?” While it might be a bit subjective, it is one of the best decks in the format, and I’ll share as much information in this article as possible. Featured will be Griego’s winning deck, strategy, key cards, and more! If you wanna build a Lost Zone Box Deck on Pokemon TCG Live, you can pick up some codes right here at the PoTown store. You can acquire most of the cards for this deck by opening Lost Origin digital booster packs from Po Town and opening them on PTCG Live. That being said, let’s dive into this winning deck!

Top 5 Crown Zenith Decks

What’s going on Po Town readers? Crown Zenith has been fully released on PTCG Live, and I’m here to share the top 5 best Crown Zenith decks! You read that right! This article will feature some of the best Pokémon TCG decks for January / February 2023! Before I explain the full details of this article, I have to be honest with you, Crown Zenith is not the most competitive set we’ve seen. It is basically a collector set with a few new cards tossed around to keep the competition “fresh”. You can read that as Radiant Eternatus, Sky Seal Stone and Zamazenta [Crown Zenith] being the best new cards surrounded by a bunch of collectors cards. Either way, it is our newest set, so lemme share the decks I have with y’all. I’ve used a mix of recent Regional Championships results from around the world, a few of my own lists that I’ve been crafting with other Pro players, and top online events to come up with this list! I do want to say that the ranking of the decks is within my personal opinion, but it closely resembles the absolute top of our current Pokémon TCG metagame for both the online and physical games. If you need any Pokemon TCG codes to complete your decks, you are in the right place right here at PoTownStore.com! That being said, let’s look at the top 5 decks in our Crown Zenith format!

Top 3 decks at San Diego Regionals

Alola trainers! Welcome back to the PoTown Store Blog! San Diego Regionals just took place this past weekend, and we had a very cool tournament with a very nice variety of decks placed at the top. Even though the metagame featured a whopping 33% usage for Lugia VSTAR decks, there was only one featured in the Top 8. I myself managed to make the Top 8 with my Amazing Rare Rayquaza Lost Box deck, but I was beaten by the Arceus VSTAR / Duraludon VMAX combination. Let's check out which decks were the best at the San Diego regionals!
A New Take on Mew VMAX!

What’s happening Po Town readers? Have you been playing in our latest Silver Tempest format? Well, if you got the chance to view the results of the 2022 Latin American International Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil, you would’ve seen that it was filled with Lugia VSTAR / Archeops [Silver Tempest]. Tord Reklev was able to win his fourth International Championship, and we saw what was a metagame filled with many viable decks turn into a Top Cut with only three unique decks. One of the decks that were just outside of the top eight was Mew VMAX [Fusion Strike], and it featured Path to the Peak [Chilling Reign] - a card that is used to often counter it. It was based upon the Double Turbo Energy [Brilliant Stars] build that we saw come out around the 2022 World Championships and used Lost Vacuum [Lost Origin] to get rid of their Path to the Peak. In this article, I will share the list for Mew VMAX, the strategy for the core deck, and a few other useful tidbits of information! If you are looking for any PTCGL codes to complete a Mew VMAX deck on Pokemon TCG decks Live, be sure to pick up Pokemon TCG Live codes from the Potown store. They have instant email delivery and a large selection of codes available to choose from. That being said, let’s jump into it!
