Welcome to Lost Origin - our newest Pokemon TCG set in Standard! I’ve been grinding the trades, ripping open packs, and playtesting this format with my friends extensively, and I’m so excited to share my favourite decks with you! Most new sets will introduce one or two new archetypes, a handful of techs for pre-existing Pokemon online decks, and some cards that will leave you scratching your head. Lost Origin takes that to a whole other level - there are multiple new archetypes, so many unique cards to add to decks, and a whole new Lost Zone engine that seemingly works with everything. In this article, I’ll be sure to share an amazing list of each of the new archetypes, explain their strategy, and provide as much insight as possible. Let’s jump into it!

Hello everyone! I am Elena from Gaia Storm TCG and it is time for another article here at PoTown Store’s Blog. After many months of hype, the wait is finally over and Lost Origin, the latest set from the Pokémon TCG Sword and Shield era, is here. There are many interesting cards that will for sure shaken up the metagame as we know it but I think we will all agree that there is one that shines above all: Giratina VSTAR. Today, we are going to be exploring the power of this Legendary Pokémon and discuss whether it will become the next tier S in the format or if, on the contrary, the expectations were too high. Let 's dig into it!

What’s poppin’ Po Town readers? Are you hyped up for the release of Lost Origin - the newest Pokemon TCG set available? This set reintroduces the Lost Zone mechanic to Standard and there are so many cool cards! I know most players are hyped about the popular VSTAR Pokemon, like Giratina VSTAR [Lost Origin], but there are so many gems in this set. Before we jump into it, I do want to say that some cards will include multiple entries if they are relevant to the combo necessary and some are standalone cards. When it comes to ranking Pokemon cards, it is a mix of years of knowledge and personal flair - my list is my list! I hope this list serves you well so let+s get in!

Arceus V - Pokemon TCG CodesHello everyone! This is Elena from Gaia Storm TCG and it is a pleasure to be here once again with another article. And this is a very special occasion because we are going to be covering none other than the deck that was crowned in the Pokémon Worlds Championship from 2022: Arceus with Flying Pikachu. Today, we will discuss the build, strengths and weaknesses of this strategy and the reasons why it became the best deck of the season. Let's go!

Hello everyone! This is Elena from Gaia Storm TCG and it is a pleasure to be here once again at Po Town Store. Today, we are going to be covering the most consistent and reliable deck in the entire format: Arceus Inteleon. Let’s see what makes this such a strong pick for Worlds and any other competitive tournament!

Alola trainers! Welcome back to the PoTown Store Blog! The Pokemon TCG World Championships are drawing closer than ever, and it's time to get more serious, which is why we are going to take a look at my most updated Palkia VSTAR decklist! 

Alola trainers! Welcome back to the PoTown Store Blog! We are less than a month away from the Pokemon TCG World Championships, and I could not be more excited! I’ve been hard at work balancing between recording videos and playtesting for Worlds, trying to figure out the best deck for me to play at the tournament.

Hello everyone! This is Elena from Gaia Storm TCG, and welcome to another article here at the amazing PoTown Store blog. Have you ever wanted to play a deck that can virtually hit for a ton of different weaknesses and that has a very unique style of play? Search no more because today we are going to be looking at one of the best one-prizer decks in the entire format: Regigigas and its friends.

Alola trainers! Welcome back to the PoTown Blog! Ever since the old Pokemon Gold and Silver, Blissey has been one of my favourite Pokemon, so I’m very happy it is actually quite competitive. It recently got second place at the Milwaukee Regional Championships, and since it is a relatively cheap deck to build, you can expect to see it all over the Pokemon TCG Online and Pokemon TCG Live ladder.

Embark on a familiar adventure in Pokemon TCG’s latest set, Pokemon GO, which is based on the hit mobile game Pokemon GO! This set has been designed to blend the unique Pokemon found in Pokemon GO with TCG mechanics for the first time ever! There are fan-favourite legendary Pokemon, like Mewtwo VSTAR (Pokemon GO), that will find a home in powerful decks. While there are some obviously powerful cards in this set, like Radiant Blastoise (Pokemon GO), the goal of this article is to showcase some of the unique cards found in this set. Will they ever see the light of day? Honestly, I’m not sure, but Pokemon announced that the upcoming Lost Origins set will be delayed which means that Astral Radiance will be our latest main set and Pokemon GO will be the differentiating factor heading into Worlds. Furthermore, our usual rotation of cards that happens in August / September has been pushed to early 2023 to bring us closer to Japan’s set legality. This might open the realm of needing to play unique concepts to avoid running into Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR (Astral Radiance) mirror matchups at upcoming events. Let’s check out these unique cards.

Yo mates! It's ZapdosTCG here and today we will be taking a look at an archetype that gets a huge buff with Astral Radiance: Zoroark Toolbox. We will be talking about which new cards the deck gains and why it got better in the meta game! We'll talk about the matchup spread and more, so buckle up as we check out the Zoroark Toolbox deck!
