Fear of the Dark - Eternatus in the new metagame

Fear of the Dark - Eternatus in the new metagame

Hello everyone! This is Elena from Gaia Storm TCG and, I’d like to cover one of the most aggressive and popular Pokemon decks in recent TCG history: Eternatus VMAX. Sure, everyone has already faced or played Eternatus, but the deck is about to acquire a completely new dimension with the release of Chilling Reing. And yes, it might not be the best deck of the entire format, but it will remain one of the top contenders until we have a major new set. So, let’s analyze what this Legendary Pokémon can do!

Exploring Underplayed Decks from Chilling Reign

Exploring Underplayed Decks from Chilling Reign

What’s up, PoTown Store readers? While everyone has been testing the heavily played concepts from Chilling Reign, such as Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX (Chilling Reign), I’ve been looking under the rug for under-discovered concepts. My idea is that most of the community will create excellent lists for the best Pokemon Online decks, but the other decks that have potential from this new set won’t be as refined. This article will feature three underplayed concepts, strategies, and personal lists for each of them. These decks have a chance to change the metagame, take your friend by surprise in your next PTCGO match, and allow you to discover new strategies! Even if they don’t end up being too competitive, it's always a great idea to look at the different concepts that make up our game. So let’s check them out!

Best Rogue Decks

Best Rogue Decks

What’s up, Po Town readers? I’ve been on a deck testing adventure lately, and it has brought me to the depths of the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online. In my efforts to find the best decks for the Players Cup 4 Regional Qualifiers, I’ve subjected myself to trying everything. Now I’ll be 100% honest, the decks in this article aren’t perfected, and I’d go as far as to say they’re rough around the edges if every deck were built like Pikachu & Zekrom-GX (Team Up), the top of the metagame would have way more decks. The decks in this article mainly counter top-tier decks or have quirky concepts within them.  If you need any cards to prepare for this event or need Pokemon TCG Online codes, PoTown Store is a great place to pick them up!

Two Kings for the new metagame: Shadow Rider and Ice Raider Calyrex

Hello trainers! This is Elena from Gaia Strom TCG and it is a pleasure to be here at PoTown Store once again. As you all might know, Chilling Reign (the new set from the Sword and Shield era) is about to be officially released and everyone is losing their mind about the upcoming cards. To be honest, this type of effect always happens when a new expansion arrives – players are excited to test new strategies and see what type of impact they’ll have in the game. But actually, Chilling Reign comes with one protagonist Pokémon that has the potential to truly turn everything upside down: The ruler itself, Calyrex.

Exploring the Sword and Shield Metagame

What's poppin’ PoTown Store readers? Are you getting bored of Standard? Are you looking forward to the rotation? Do you hate Tag Team Pokemon like Mewtwo & Mew-GX (Unified Minds) and Pikachu & Zekrom-GX (Team Up)?

“Cat Walk” – Dragapult VMAX/Persian in Standard!

“Cat Walk” – Dragapult VMAX/Persian in Standard!

Alola Trainers! With Pokemon’s 25th anniversary in the books, a Post Malone concert sliding by, and a bunch of new announcements released for the franchise, we didn’t get too many new things regarding the Pokemon TCG. Some Trainers are looking to hunker down and practice their favorite deck to optimize their chances of winning, while some others want something new and refreshing in this format and are looking for a creative twist. Well, Trainers, I’m definitely bringing you the latter today! Andrew Mahone recently did an excellent job creating this new Dragapult hybrid deck we’re going to talk about today, so let’s hop to it!

“Knockout Palooza!” – Mad Party Updated with Battle Styles

“Knockout Palooza!” – Mad Party Updated with Battle Styles

What’s going on, Trainers? The dust has settled after a few weeks of playing Pokemon online, and it seems a few decks have really situated themselves high at the top of the tier list. Namely, Victini VADP, and Rapid Strike Urshifu decks seem to be doing the best, with the odd Decidueye winning some events where people were unprepared. With ADP being the unofficial “best deck in the format,” we find old answers coming back into the format in an attempt to take it out (such as Pikarom and Eternatus). As far as I can see, there’s a lot of room for creativity in the standard format, and really any deck can win a tournament right now with the right amount of luck on your side. That’s why I wanted to talk about a deck that has undeniable strength right now, Mad Party. Gaining Level Ball, this deck is easily the most aggressive deck that standard has seen in a while and can hit for hundreds of damage on a single Prize Card attacker. The deck is fairly cheap and doesn’t take a lot of PTCGO codes for a beginner to create either! Let’s hop into why I think the tides are turning in favor of the Mad Party.
