Other S Tier decks

  • Mega Absol EX / Darkrai EX / Hoopa EX
    I rank it in S tier because it can create immediate pressure with several complementary attackers. The list has an excellent balance between damage, mobility, disruption and consistency.
  • Mega Sceptile EX / Butterfree
    This is probably one of the most consistent. Caterpie, the draw engine, Quick-Grow Extract and the two Stadiums significantly accelerate the setup of Mega Sceptile EX.
  • Mega Lucario EX
    I place Mega Lucario EX in S tier for its combination of speed, damage and flexibility. The list also includes several secondary Pokémon that help it adapt without significantly slowing down the main plan.
  • Mega Altaria EX / Espeon / Darkrai
    I rank it in S tier because of its combination of control, status effects and constant pressure. Sleep can deny entire turns while Darkrai and Mega Altaria gradually build an advantage.
  • Vespiquen ex / Shuckle ex
    The deck can handle many matchups thanks to Shuckle ex in the early game and Vespiquen ex's 140 damage. The ability to discard a damaged or obsolete Pokémon makes its game plan particularly stable.
  • Magnezone / Oricorio / Miraidon ex
    Deck heavily represented in top decks, with Miraidon acting as a flexible finisher and strong sleep-counterplay.
