Pokémon TCG Pocket: Best Articuno decks
Pokémon TCG Pocket The Pokémon Company
Articuno EX is one of the most powerful cards in the game, thanks to its ability to deal burst damage and hit Pokémon on the bench. Water-type decks, in general, can be fairly volatile thanks to the reliance on Misty’s coin flips, but we’ve put together some of our favorite decks that utilize Articuno EX in a consistent way. Here are some of the best Articuno EX decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Starmie EX is one of the strongest TCG Pocket meta decks as it takes just two turns to set up and has no retreat cost. Place down a Staryu earlier and attach an energy, so you can evolve and attack on the next turn. This is more consistent than Water decks that require Misty and a lot of energy, as you can set up your Articuno in the back while Starmie is attacking, with or without the Kanto gym leader. After Starmie goes down, or once your Articuno is ready, put it in the active spot and clean up the Pokémon in the front and the back with Blizzard. Here’s the deck list we recommend: 2x Articuno EX 2x Staryu 2x Starmie EX
