What’s poppin’ PTCGO Store readers? I’m excited to share this article with you because I am going crazy over Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX (Cosmic Eclipse) / 扎西安五世 (Sword and Shield) lately! I recently took this deck to the Tryhard Monday PTCGO event on the Play Limitless website, and I won the whole thing! I’ve been putting in some serious testing with this deck for weeks now, and I can share all of my important findings with you! The best part, you can pick up a lot of the pieces for this deck here on the site without even having to trade for them! As a special bonus, you can use code zlesage5 to save 5% on your next order of PTCGO codes. Here are the products I recommend picking up to jump start this deck:

扎西安五世

Here is the ADP Zacian deck that I used to win the Tryhard Pokémon TCG Online event, and it is one of my top choices in our Battle Stylesmetagame. This list is heavily inspired by my teammate Gabriel Smart (@GabrielSmartTCG), so a huge shoutout goes to him for working so hard on this deck.

策略

The strategy of this Pokémon online deck is relatively simple, but it’s extremely effective. Your goal is to start by attaching either a Metal Energy or Water Energy to your ADP as soon as possible. You usually want to attach a Metal Energy first because Crushing Hammer (Sword and Shield) is popular, and if they get Heads, you can always use Metal Saucer to use it again. After you’re able to build up a Water and Metal on ADP, you can use Altered Creation GX for the full effect. What’s the full effect? Doing an additional 30 damage when you attack with any of your Pokémon, and you draw an additional Prize Card for each Knock Out. If you’re able to get off Ultimate Ray, you usually win the game because you can get your Zacian powered up, which can almost OHKO all Pokémon. Whenever you are able to damage your opponent’s Pokémon, you want to try to Knock Out Pokémon that are worth two Prize Cards because Altered Creation makes them worth three Prize Cards. This allows you to win the game in as little as two attacks after using Altered Creation GX, and that’s where the true power of the deck lies. Here is a normal series of attacks:

回合 1：
将金属能量附着到 ADP
使用无畏之剑对付扎西安

回合 2：
将水能附着到 ADP
使用 Altered Creation GX

回合 3：
将任意能量附加到 ADP（如果可能）
使用终极射线（可能）
使用 Boss 的命令（如有必要）攻击两张奖品卡宝可梦
抽取三名奖品
*如果 ADP 被击倒，请使用金属飞碟准备 Zacian V / Mawile-GX 进行攻击。

回合 4：
使用 ADP / Zacian V / Mawile-GX 进行攻击并使用 Boss's Orders（如有必要）来攻击两张奖品卡宝可梦。

这个简单的计划让这套牌赢得了“Boss，Boss，游戏”的口号，并真正成为该格式中最好的套牌之一。让我们来看看这套牌中的一些关键卡牌。

关键 TCG 卡牌

这些是这副牌中最具影响力的一些牌，它们非常有用。

玛维勒Gx

Mawile-GX - Some peeps have been wondering how to play this card correctly, and I’m here to answer that. While it can be used as a bonus attacker if your opponent has a large Bench size, we are more or less using this card for its Ability. Try to find opportunities where your opponent hasn’t touched their hand (going first before they play any cards after they play a Marnie, or when they draw Prize Cards). If you see them using Quick Ball (Sword and Shield) to discard Pokémon, it likely isn’t the best time to Captivating Wink.

艾尔德高斯五世

Eldegoss V - While the obvious use for 艾尔德高斯五世 (Champions Path) is for Happy Match, you can also use Float Up against popular decks, like Mad Party (Darkness Ablaze), to get Knock-Outs. You can recycle Boss’s Orders (Shining Fates) or other Supporters if needed too.

神盾闪击

Aegislash V - This card might not seem to have a purpose, but it allows you to go through popular wall Pokémon like Decidueye (Darkness Ablaze) or Altaria (Champions Path). It can also be strong against Mad Party, so keep that in mind.

能源开关

Energy Switch - If you miss an Energy on your ADP or your opponent gets off a Crushing Hammer, you can use Metal Saucer to power up a Metal Pokémon and use Energy Switch to power up ADP. You can also switch it up mid-game and take Energy off ADP to attack with Zacian out of nowhere. It’s truly a universal card in this deck.

混沌涌动

Chaotic Swell - With Power Plant (Unbroken Bonds) and Giant Hearth (Unified Minds) seeing a bunch of plays, 混沌涌动 (Cosmic Eclipse) is the general go-to answer. It isn’t the most exciting Stadium, but it stops the ones that help your opponent out!

玩得开心

And that’s all I have to write on the deck for now, and I hope to revisit it again in the future. ADP Zacian has been one of the best Pokémon Online decks since the release of Cosmic Eclipse, and it looks to be on a hot streak ever since then.
