Hey PTCGO Store　 readers! Welcome back to another article here on the site! The Dallas Regional Championships are coming up soon on the 17th of January and the first thing about the expanded format we need to pay attention to is the new Meowth VMAX card that is officially going to be legal for Dallas. Meowth V and Meowth VMAX are the first cards to be released from the Sword and Shield set in the Pokemon TCG in the form of a promo box where you can buy the code for right here on our website. Meowth VMAX is the card we are going to be looking at because Meowth V isn’t that good besides using it to evolve into Meowth VMAX. Let's take a look at the Meowth VMAX and talk about why I think this new exciting card could make a splash in future Pokemon TCG events.

Howdy PTCGO Store　 readers! This is Isaac bringing you another article, this time on the current state of the standard format as well as my top pick going into expanded. After all the tournaments with the current standard format, it has become very defined and the same top decks continue to perform well. Malamar has picked up a large amount of success as many players are beginning to realize its potential and the large skill gap that it presents. After experiences with the Pokemon TCG format several times at regionals and cups, I’ve concluded that Pokemon Gardevoir & Sylveon GX is my favorite deck in PTCGO and has the best matchup spread.

Whats up PTCGO Store readers! Its Isaac again, bringing you another article this month! Today, I’m going to be talking about the Pokemon TCG San Diego regional championships and then taking a look into my favorite deck in expanded, Zorogarb.

Whats up PTCGO Store readers! Today, I’m going to be bringing you guys my first article talking about  Daytona regionals and how the meta has shifted, as well as my tournament report from Daytona this past weekend!

The results from LAIC had a big impact in determining the metagame for Daytona regionals. In Brazil, MewMew, ADP, and ability zard were the three biggest decks as well as the top three decks with the strongest results. Ability zard ended up winning the entire event along with Mewtwos and ADPs taking up the majority top 8 spots as well.

 

Hey guys! Welcome back to another article here on The PTCGO Store　! In this article, I am going to be talking about the best ways to build a deck for Pokemon TCG -/Online around my new favourite card in the standard format, Charizard & Braixen GX from the newest set Cosmic Eclipse (buy Pokemon Online codes). Later on in the article, I will also be giving a meta prediction of what the top 5 decks I expect to see perform well at LAIC this weekend. What makes Charizard & Braixen so special is its Brilliant Flare attack, that at a hefty cost of 4 fire energy can search for any 3 cards from your deck. Because Brilliant Flare is such a powerful search attack, it can leave a lot of room for creativity on how you want to best abuse the attack. The tech options are endless, and the deck can jam pack a lot of obscure counts because of the guaranteed search to have them exactly when you need it. You can use the card in many different styles of decks, including a tech in “Greens Zard”, a tech in “Ability Zard”, and its own Green’s Exploration based deck paired with control cards. With the first International Championships coming up at the end of this week, these are the most expected ways players attending the event will use Charizard & Braixen GX. Here are my current lists for all 3 decks that use Charizard & Braixen GX, and why they are good going into the International Championships in Brazil.

Hello readers, welcome back to another article here on The PTCGO Store　! In this article, we are going to be talking about the results from the most recent expanded event, Richmond Regionals. We ended up seeing JW Kriewall take down the event with an unexpected deck in Rowlet and Alolan Exeggutor/Vileplume. We are also going to be talking about what the best decks are going into Portland Regionals happening this weekend now that we have an expanded regional in the books. We saw Turbo Dark with a Weavile GX tech that made the deck’s bad Rowlet and Alolan Exeggutor/Vileplume, and Zoroark Control matchups favored also get second place in the event, as well as quite a lot of Zoroark Control, Buzzwole/Garbodor, and other various popular expanded decks. We also saw that no Archie’s Blastoise, or Sableye/Garbodor decks make day two which came as quite a shock as many top players were preaching it to be the best deck in the format. With these new results, the format becomes more expected and players going into Portland will know more of what they need to test against when choosing their deck for the event.

So you have grown a small collection of Pokémon Trading Game cards and you want to become better at the game. You might have seen a Regional Champiosnhip winning list on pokemon.com or maybe your friend showcased you their newest masterpiece. Where do you begin? Do you counter the deck that just won someone five thousand dollars or do you play the same deck? What about your friend with their pet deck? There are a bunch of ways to determine where to go, but which way is the best? The goal of this article is to help you grow as a player and learn some tips to test more effectively in this game. Enjoy. 

Hello readers, my name is Arlo Neel and I am an active competitive Pokemon TCG player in the United States. Recently, I have joined the Nerd Rage Gaming national team, and achieved a Top 4 finish in Greensboro, NC last season as well as a couple other strong finishes. In my first article here for The PTCGO Store　, I will be talking about my favorite deck in the expanded format, Zoroark GX/Garbodor leading into Richmond regionals. This is a popular expanded deck that I've spent the most time playing throughout my Pokemon TCG career, and also the deck I’ve had the most success with. Even with a huge array of new powerful Tag Team GX Pokemon being introduced into the expanded meta as well as very powerful control cards in Reset Stamp and Lt. Surge’s Strategy, I still believe Zoroark/Garbodor is in a prime position to take the expanded meta by storm once again.

Hello fellow readers! My name is Alec Geissler and I’d like to talk about Trevenant, a deck that’s been slipping under the radar for a little bit now. I have been thinking about Trevenant for a while now and I think something like Toronto Regionals last year is what we are going into Richmond with. We are in a “blind” meta with a new set, we have no idea what’s good (this time we do with Control decks) and we have no tournament results to base off.
