帕路奇亚 VSTAR 仍在获胜！

What’s up, PTCGO Store readers? It’s your boy Zach, and I’m back with my newest article in our brand new Lost Origin format! At the time of writing this article, the format has been around for about two weeks, and the format is getting wild! Kyurem VMAX (Lost Origin) is seeing a bunch of success, Giratina VSTAR (Lost Origin) decks are improving every day, and Mew VMAX (Fusion Strike) is still getting wins at major online events! Another deck that consistently sees success is Origin Forme Palkia VSTAR (Astral Radiance), largely the best deck from our Sword and Shield to Pokemon Go Standard format. Palkia VSTAR is a deck that I’ve enjoyed playing and it has earned me Championship Points at NAIC, London Open, and Baltimore Regionals. It is in a better position in this format than last because Flying Pikachu VMAX (Celebrations) isn’t seeing much play, and it has opportunities to use Radiant Greninja (Astral Radiance) against opposing Comfey (Lost Origin). Between powerful attacks, large amounts of HP, and a bunch of technical cards - Palkia VSTAR looks like it will make a splash at both Peoria Regionals and Salt Lake City Regionals! In this article, I will be sharing two versions of a traditional Palkia VSTAR list - one with 4 copies of 战斗VIP通行证 (Fusion Strike) and one with more copies of “Ball” Search, but both of these decks are tournament ready! If you are looking for any of the cards to build these Pokemon online decks, consider picking up PTCGO codes right here at the PTCGO store! As an added bonus, use code zlesage5 to save 5% off your order of Pokemon TCG codes, including brand new Lost Origin PTCGO codes! Let’s get it!

After seeing a bunch of success at NAIC, Worlds, and Baltimore Regionals - many consider Palkia to be the best deck in the format. It has ways to search for any Trainer in your deck with 毛毛细雨 (Sword and Shield) and Inteleon (Sword and Shield), which opens up many possibilities to make almost anything happen. That includes attacking with the powerful 帕路奇亚VSTAR, sniping things with Radiant Greninja, and even attacking with Inteleon. This list gets away with a lesser count of 战斗VIP通行证 and makes room for more “Ball” search cards, like Level Ball (Battle Styles), to make your mid-game better. Players often go back and forth over which count is correct - 1 or 4 Battle VIP Pass, but the argument here is that you can use Irida (Astral Radiance) to search it out on your first turn or not worry about it. If you miss it with the second list, your deck is often flooded with dead cards when you play Marnie (Sword and Shield) or Roxanne (Astral Radiance). One of the newest additions to most Palkia VSTAR decks is Empoleon V (Battle Styles), a card meant to counter the new “Lost Zone” engine. It works well here because we can shut off Comfey and Regigigas (Astral Radiance), and we can even attack with it because this is a Water deck! Overall, this deck is incredibly powerful so let’s check out the list:

The main difference with this list is cutting some extra techs and extra consistency cards for extra 战斗VIP通行证 cards. A lot of the time your turn one is as important as the last turn of the game which is one of the main focal points of this deck! You either get your Battle VIP Pass on turn one of the game or you might struggle when your opponent plays Marnie or Roxanne if you draw into unused copies. I personally flip - flop back and forth, but I have seen success with both styles of decks. Let’s check out this list:
