Top 10 Meta Decks in Pokemon TCG April 2024

0:00 - intro 0:16 - Roaring Moon ex 1:18 - Gardevoir ex 2:01 - Pidgeot ex Control 2:54 - 10. Ancient Box 3:35 - 9. Great Tusk Mill 4:03 - 8. Snorlax Stall 4:52 - 7. Arceus Giratina 5:25 - 6. Lost Zone Giratina 5:58 - 5. Lost Zone Box 6:44 - 4. Lugia VSTAR 7:21 - 3. Chien Pao Baxcalibur 8:02 - 2. Future Hands 8:50 - 1. Charizard ex

Gardevoir seems highly slept on. It plays slightly different and is more clunky but it feels very powerful still

No honorable mention to Gouging Fire? I dont think its top tier by and means but seems to be showing up as of now.

a deck not mentioned here: espathra ex xatu. in my experience, is a very strong iron hands counter. iron hands needs a lot of energy cards to get going, so being able to set up with both the pokemon league headquarters and espathra's ability makes it pretty much unusable. even with heavy baton (which it likely has a lost vacuum to answer with), you become extremely vulnerable as espathras psy bolt, which 1-hit KOs an iron hands with enough energy to attack, and iron hands does not 1-hit KO it in return. then you're back to the races scrambling to get 4-5 more energy.

I wonder if we'll see as many Lugias as the meta develops. I've been playing it a bit on the ladder and have started to run into more and more Turbo Hands/Future Hands decks and it's rough when they show up. It'll be really interesting to see EUIC's deck spread.

too a couple months off after the rotation, this video made me way less stressed about it. might be back on the grind, thanks brother!

Future Hands' match-up is also good against Snorlax Stall. And the match-up against Charizard is also quite winnable when you draw one Boss's Order and the Prime Catcher and have a loaded Iron Hands. For me Future Hands is the go-to Deck right now.

Good video, it would be helpful to have a visual for the cards/moves you're referring to as you discuss the deck. Otherwise, well spoken and concise.

I really like how you take "group think" into consideration when talking about the meta. PTCG content creators have so much influence on the decks people decide to play

are there any good gholdengo decks? i am very new to TCG but i really like gholdengo

I struggle against RM and im not sure why its not higher

I've been having good matches with Roaring Moon EX, similar to the one in the video but with a few changes, winning 75% of the matches, and I agree, Tera Charizard and Iron hands ex are 80% of the online decks...

instead of manphy in charlizard ex entei v can be added and instead of a stadium a gift energy and instead of the lost vaccum an extra professor future

Where do I go if I want to get into Pokemon tcg/ learn?

I'm just getting into playing pokemon again after a few years. What is the best Deck to play? I normally don't like Charizard cause literally everyone wants that. I think I want the Lugia V deck

banette garde is also good as well as garde raging bolt...

I'm loving Future Hands right now. Take in mind I'm a week new to the game but its been quite fun and good in 4-600. Also big fan of Garatina

I still think Lugia is so strong and would be BDIF if it weren’t for iron hands matchup. It feels like unless they brick you auto lose

I don’t see why people say Roaring Moon is unplayable.. It’s been working great for me. Future hands goes hard too.

Dam Lugia getting low cause of future hands glad it’s still high on the list though 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
