The latest big Pokémon Pocket tournament proves you don’t need Ex cards to see success. While first place in Ursiiday’s 1,651 person tournament on February 15 went to the classic Charizard Ex deck, which hasn’t changed much since launch, the second place trophy was seized by a new build.
This Lightning/Metal deck combines the efforts of some of the best single-point Pokémon cards to come out of Space-Time Smackdown, which saw it claim 13 wins and only three losses on Saturday.
