Time to find out if you’re really pulling worse cards than everyone else, or if everyone else is in the same boat.
Naturally, Arceus ex was expected to dominate proceedings, given the plethora of Pokemon with “Link” abilities that support it, but the God Pokemon currently only occupies one of the top 10 spots, with Dialga and Palkia both far more prominent.
It’s worth noting that these rankings are likely to change heavily as only a handful of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket tournaments have been held since the Triumphant Light launched last week. New card combinations will be discovered, and new archetypes will rise to the top; however, it’s the first snapshot we’ve got of what will be Pokemon TCG Pocket’s longest meta to date.
So far, a deck comprising of Arceus ex and Dialga ex has the highest win rate, sitting at 58.62 percent. This deck is also, by far, the most used deck in the current meta, with it being used 2.5 percent more than any other deck, which makes its win rate even more impressive.
Interestingly, though, the number one spot is the only time Arceus ex appears in the current top ten, according to Limitless TCG. In addition to taking the top spot, Dialga ex takes the number two position in a deck shared with Mew ex.
Arguably, the most dominant card, at the moment at least, is Palkia ex, with the Water-type Pokemon taking up four of the top ten spots. It combines with Magnezone, Starmie ex, and Articuno ex, as well as going solo to fill those positions. Alongside Arceus ex, Gallade ex and Garchomp ex are the only new cards that crack the current charts.

While the meta has changed rapidly since the release of Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, in no small part thanks to the game’s hectic, often overwhelming release schedule, things should have a little longer to settle this time around. There are scheduled to be around two months between the release of Triumphant Light and the game’s next expansion, A3, leaving plenty of time for things to be chopped and changed.
