In recent weeks and months, custom formats in the Pokémon TCG have become increasingly popular. They provide unique learning and playing environment unparalleled by the game's normal Standard and Expanded formats due to unique rules and restrictions. If you wish to become a better deck builder or player, custom format tournaments are the perfect opportunity to do so. In my eight years playing Pokémon competitively, I have picked up a great number of deck-building insights. Popularizing Poké Dolls and Pokégears in Lucario & Melmetal Pokémon online decks this season may be my most widely known deck-building contribution, but the unprecedented sandboxes of custom formats gave me the opportunity to innovate many more ways than discovering singular cards. Custom formats have allowed me to refine my strategies and put them to the test on a consistent basis. Reading this article will give you the ability to approach creating your own tournament-ready decks in custom formats like Journey and the Gym Leader Challenge with insights that will put you ahead of the competition!

Hola fellow trainers! I’ve been enjoying lots of time on vacation while competitors have been duking it out online for the top spot in grass-root tournaments and Chill TCG events alike. It’s been fun watching veteran players combat the strategies of up-and-coming rookies, both of whom have their own individual merits. I personally embrace the rogue side of things when a new set drops because it’s a bit of a shakeup to what was pre-existing around. I know there are a lot of beginner players who may not have a lot of budgets to start playing the game hyper competitively, however, today’s deck is going to go over a relatively affordable deck in the form of Lycanroc. In a world full of lots of Shadow Rider Calyrex and Eternatus, we can take advantage of those weaknesses by utilizing a Single Strike engine. Single Strike Energy is very resourceful because it can provide both Darkness and Fighting-type energy (but not both at the same time obviously). In doing so, it also provides a nice damage buff to the deck, and can be accelerated! All of the above criteria allow for us to build a pretty low maintenance, single Prize Card deck that has a decent shot at taking down the current format. That being said, I wouldn’t expect stellar results from this deck as it is not as consistent as a Tier 1 deck (such as Shadow Rider Calyrex), but it can pack a punch and take down the titans of the format often enough for me to write about it. Let’s get into the underdog of the format, Lycanroc/Houndoom!

Hey everyone my name is Gabriel Smart. I am beyond excited to begin writing for PTCGO Store! I hope everyone is having a wonderful time browsing this amazing website, and I'm happy you have stumbled upon my writing! In the next coming months, we are going to be experiencing an immense rotation that is going to completely alter this meta! Gone will be cards like Reset Stamp (Unified Minds), Arceus & Dialga & Palkia-GX (Cosmic Eclipse), Mewtwo & Mew-GX (Unified Minds), Dedenne-GX (Unbroken Bonds), Pikachu & Zekrom-GX (Team Up) and so much more! How we play the game, and how we deck build will be drastically altered as well! With that being said, it's time we take our vision to the horizon upon us! Let's dive into some post-rotation decks!

Evolving Skies, our newest Pokemon TCGO set, adds many fan-favorite Pokemon into the TCG and there are many new card strategies to discover. Of course, there is the mighty Rayquaza VMAX (Evolving Skies) that soars high, many “Eevee”-lution Pokemon that seem amazing, and of course many new Pokemon like Regidrago (Evolving Skies) that appear in the TCG for the first time. Arguably this is one of the craziest sets ever because it seems like a handshake between the competitive player base and the collectors in this game - many cards are competitive and would be an amazing showpiece in a collection. I love this set and I’m amped to share my personal top five cards so far! I love how this set continuously grows both the Single Strike and Rapid Strike mechanic, has some of the best art that we’ve ever seen, and even brings back Dragon Pokemon to the game! I could go on and on, but this set is absolutely amazing so let’s soar into these great cards!

What’s Poppin PTCGO Store readers? Chilling Reign has been out almost two months now, and I’ve had my fair share of time to test most of the new Pokemon online decks. While some of my other articles might feature Pokemon TCG cards that may require a handful of PTCGO code cards, this article has a bunch of cheaper Pokemon online decks to build. Some of the coolest decks don’t need to cost a whole bunch, like Malamar (Chilling Reign), and they can compete with a lot of the best decks in the format. This article aims to share my favorite budget decks that are rocking out in the Chilling Reign Pokemon metagame and let you know why they are so awesome!

We are finally going to get to see a few more “Fusion” cards, including some awesome cards like Dragapult Fusion. I’ve covered these new Pokemon twice before, both here - Fusion article 1 and Fusion article 2, and I wanted to make sure to cover all of the upcoming cards to keep PTCGO Store readers knowledgeable on the metagame. There are some spoilers in this article, but by reading this article you will stay above the rest of the competition in the knowledge! I’m certainly hyped for these new cards to release and I plan on covering a bunch of new Pokemon online decks once the set is fully revealed later in 2021. These cards won’t be out for a while, but you can pick up some PTCGO codes for other awesome sets right here at PTCGO Store.

Hey, what’s good PTCGO Store readers? Have you read my last article on the Fusion Pokemon cards  - New Fusion Pokemon #1? If you haven’t, you totally should because this article will be showcasing some different Fusion Pokemon. These cards are similar to Single Strike and Rapid Strike Pokemon because it has a “Fusion” stamp that lets everyone know it’s “style”. These cards are releasing in Japan and we will eventually get them everywhere else later in 2021. I’m personally hyped because these cards remind me of Tag Team Pokemon mixed with SP Pokemon (yeah, I’ve been playing that long) so I have high hopes for the future of the game! While these cards aren’t out quite yet, you can still always pick up some PTCGO codes for other sets right here at PTCGO Store. On top of that, you can use code “zlesage5” to save 5% on your next order. Continuing on from my last article, let’s check out some more of these cards!

What’s up PTCGO Store readers? Have you heard the news? There is a new style of Pokemon cards and they are Fusion Pokemon cards. Similar to past mechanics, like Single Strike and Rapid Strike, these cards feature a “Fusion” stamp at the top of the card to help identify its “style” compared to other cards. These cards are releasing soon in Japan with a tentative release date of October or November worldwide. I’ve personally been hyping these cards up to my friends and I want to share my early thoughts on them with you in this article. While these cards aren’t out quite yet, you can still always pick up some PTCGO codes for other sets right here at PTCGO Store. On top of that, you can use code “zlesage5” to save 5% on your next order.
