Pokemon TCG Deck Lists
12 top Standard format decks with full 60-card lists and live prices.
Charizard ex
StandardCharizard ex is one of the most dominant decks in Standard format. It uses Pidgeot ex's Quick Search Ability to search for any card every turn, providing incredible consistency. Charizard ex's Burning Darkness attack deals escalating damage for each Prize card the opponent has taken, making late-game KOs devastating. The deck pairs with Charmeleon for Rare Candy lines and Entei V as a strong secondary attacker.
64 cards
Gardevoir ex
StandardGardevoir ex uses its Psychic Embrace Ability to attach Psychic Energy from the discard pile to any of your Pokemon, enabling explosive Energy acceleration. Gardevoir ex's Miracle Force attack hits for massive damage scaling with attached Energy. The deck uses Kirlia's Refinement Ability to dig through the deck quickly and Zacian V as a one-Prize backup attacker.
60 cards
Roaring Moon ex
StandardRoaring Moon ex is an aggressive Ancient-type deck using Sada's Vitality to accelerate Energy from the discard pile to Ancient Pokemon. Roaring Moon ex's Frenzied Gouging attack swings for massive damage while discarding cards from both players' decks — a race-to-win strategy. The deck aims to KO threats in one hit with Choice Belt and Defiance Band support.
54 cards
Iron Thorns ex / Gholdengo ex
StandardThis Future-type deck uses Iron Thorns ex and Gholdengo ex to create devastating disruption. Iron Thorns ex's Rocky Tackle attack deals 220 damage while preventing Item card use next turn. Gholdengo ex's Make It Rain generates massive card advantage. The deck uses Tera mechanics and Future support cards for consistency.
54 cards
Chien-Pao ex / Baxcalibur
StandardChien-Pao ex uses its Hail Blizzard attack to deal 60 damage times the number of Water Energy attached (up to its cost). Baxcalibur's Biting Cold Ability accelerates Water Energy from the hand to any Pokemon, enabling explosive turns. The deck aims to power up a Chien-Pao ex to KO threats in one shot with 200-300+ damage.
56 cards
Lost Box (Comfey)
StandardLost Box is a complex but powerful deck that sends cards to the Lost Zone using Comfey's Flower Selecting Ability. Once 10 cards are in the Lost Zone, Mirage Gate attaches 2 Energy of different types for free, Cramorant attacks for 0 Energy (110 damage), and Sableye deals heavy disruption. The deck uses many flexible attackers and wins through Prize trading efficiency.
57 cards
Miraidon ex
StandardMiraidon ex uses its Tandem Unit Ability to search for two Basic Lightning Pokemon and bench them, enabling rapid setup. Miraidon ex's Volt Cycle attack does 220 damage while moving Energy to a Benched Pokemon. The deck uses Iron Hands ex for FTK (first turn KO) potential and Raichu V for backup. It runs double Turbo Acceleration Energy for speed.
49 cards
Regidrago VSTAR
StandardRegidrago VSTAR uses its Apex Dragon VSTAR Power to copy the attack of any Dragon Pokemon in the discard pile. The deck fills its discard with powerful Dragon attackers like Dreepy, Dragapult, and others. By copying attacks from discarded Dragons, Regidrago VSTAR can use multiple different powerful moves in one game.
52 cards
Lugia VSTAR
StandardLugia VSTAR's Summoning Star VSTAR Power puts two Colorless Pokemon from the deck directly into play, enabling explosive early boards with Archeops to provide Energy acceleration. Flying type and Colorless typing mean Lugia hits many Pokemon for Weakness. The deck uses Lumineon V for draw setup and Single Strike Energy for burst damage.
52 cards
Snorlax Stall
StandardSnorlax Stall is a defensive control deck that aims to run the opponent out of deck cards. Snorlax's Gormandize Ability draws 7 cards per turn, while the deck relies on Collapsed Stadium to discard bench Pokemon and Eri to bounce cards. The win condition is decking out the opponent rather than taking 6 Prize cards.
60 cards
Dragapult ex
StandardDragapult ex uses its Phantom Dive attack to deal 200 damage and place 6 damage counters distributed across the opponent's Pokemon. This multi-spread damage is devastating for setting up multiple KOs. Combined with Dragapult's high base damage and Gengar ex for prize denial disruption, this deck overwhelms the opponent's board.
53 cards
Terapagos ex / Iron Crown ex
StandardThis Stellar-type deck uses Terapagos ex's Stellar Veil Ability to protect all your Tera Pokemon from damage and effects from opponent's Abilities. Iron Crown ex provides consistent spread damage. The deck is particularly strong against Ability-heavy meta decks and uses Path to the Peak to shut off opponent Abilities.
