Top 5 Decks in Silver Tempest Format

What’s poppin’ Po Town readers? Are you hyped up for the release of Silver Tempest - the newest Pokemon TCG set available? This set releases so many powerful cards, like Forest Seal Stone, and both new decks and existing archetypes are looking forward to cards from this set! I know most players are hyped about the popular VSTAR Pokemon, like Lugia VSTAR, but there are so many gems in this set. I do want to mention that at the time of this writing, there have only been a few online Pokemon TCG events, and most of the community is looking forward to learning about the results from the 2022 Latin America International Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This blog will share my current top 5 decks, lists for all of them, and more! I hope this list serves you well as you crack open your packs from the PoTown store and decide what is worthy of your Pokemon TCG Online collection. Let’s get it!

With Lugia VSTAR and Mew VMAX solely focusing on Special Energy, Duraludon VMAX [Evolving Skies] is poised to make a comeback. It will either be paired with Lugia VSTAR or Arceus VSTAR [Brilliant Stars] to accelerate Energy to Duraludon VMAX. It is all about the Skyscraper action with this list - let’s check it out!

Giratina VSTAR [Lost Origin] is a deck that has seen a lot of success in our Lost Origin metagame, and I really don’t see that much changing. Similar to how Duraludon VMAX is seeing success again, Giratina VSTAR can toss in a couple of copies of Temple of Sinnoh [Astral Radiance] to start hurting those Special Energy. While this won’t hurt Mew VMAX too much, it is particularly strong against Lugia VSTAR and Regigigas [Astral Radiance].

Placing towards the middle of the best decks in the format is Regigigas [Astral Radiance], a deck that constantly finds itself edging its way towards the top of the metagame. It has largely looked like the same archetype since its debut in Astral Radiance, but it has gained Serena [Silver Tempest], which might make it a bit more consistent. With Gift Energy [Lost Origin] getting unbanned on PTCGO, this deck is ready to go!

Jumping into the newest deck on this list, Lugia VSTAR doesn’t fail to impress with its almighty power and a vast army of techs! There are straight-up versions of this list that maximize consistency, but I have been enjoying the different techs that you can drop down out of nowhere! With powerful cards like Amazing Rare Raikou [Vivid Voltage], Radiant Charizard [Pokemon Go], and Amazing Rare Yveltal [Shining Fates] all being playable in a single list - this archetype is a bunch of fun!

Even with the new Mew VMAX League Battle deck, this deck still somehow finds itself as the best deck in format! Forest Seal Stone takes this deck to new heights by being able to be used under Path to the Peak [Chilling Reign] (it is currently bugged on PTCGO, but has been ruled that you can use the Ability because it is printed on a Trainer card), you have options to attack with Meloetta [Fusion Strike] aggressively, and you have a strong matchup spread. Just watch out for Drapion V [Lost Origin]...
