4. Detailed Analysis
Top Deck: Mewtwo ex Gardevoir
Mewtwo ex Gardevoir anchored the meta with the event's highest share (22.66%).

Even under counterplay from every direction, its unshakable fundamentals suggest it will stay strong.
Mewtwo ex Gardevoir (Share: 22.66%)
Win rate:50.43%
(58W 52L 5D)
The deck at the center of the tournament meta, with Energy management and consistent setup as its strengths. Despite its high share drawing counterplay from all directions, it kept a balanced record with a win rate in the low 50s.
High Win Rate Decks
Exeggutor ex Celebi ex (70% win rate), Mewtwo ex Mew ex (60%), Alakazam Mew ex (80%, small sample),
and Pikachu ex Zapdos ex (about 71.43%) all posted outstanding win rates despite low shares.
These decks were likely under-prepared for by the field, or successfully filled a specific meta-counter role.
Exeggutor ex Celebi ex (Share: 3.13%)
A powerful deck that posted a remarkable 70% win rate despite its low share. A build that read the meta correctly — one to watch going forward.
Mewtwo ex Mew ex (Share: 3.91%)
The Mew and Mewtwo ex synergy successfully countered high-Energy-cost Pokémon, putting this deck near the top with a 60% win rate.
Alakazam Mew ex (Share: 0.78%)
A surprise deck that posted the event's highest win rate (80%) despite a tiny share. There is plenty of room for it to be explored further in the meta.
Pikachu ex Zapdos ex (Share: 0.78%)
Win rate:71.43%
(5W 2L 0D)
A deck whose explosive firepower produced an unexpectedly high win rate. If its share grows, it could send ripples through the meta.
Decks Worth Watching
Pikachu ex Raichu (about 53.57%), Starmie ex Articuno ex (52%), and Ninetales Rapidash (50%) formed the middle of the field with respectable win rates.
Without any glaring strengths or weaknesses, their results could swing either way as the meta shifts.
Pikachu ex Raichu (Share: 5.47%)
Win rate:53.57%
(15W 11L 2D)
Riding speed and efficient Energy usage, it finished in the upper-middle of the field. Not quite top tier, but a deck with real potential.
Starmie ex Articuno ex (Share: 4.69%)
It ekes out narrow advantages through steady Energy management and constant board pressure. It lacks explosiveness, but its results were reliable.
Ninetales Rapidash (Share: 3.91%)
An average performer that could use a more refined build and better answers to the meta.
Underperforming Decks
Decks like Celebi ex Serperior (36% win rate) — high share but poor results — can be seen as cases of failed meta adaptation.
If they stick to the same strategy without card rebalancing or build changes, their standing in the meta is likely to erode.
Celebi ex Serperior (Share: 14.84%)
Strong at cycling Energy, but its results swung heavily depending on the opposing deck's counters. With a low win rate relative to its high share, it will need answers to the meta going forward.
5. Meta Trends
- Mewtwo ex Gardevoir's steady grip on the meta
- Potential surge from speed- and firepower-focused decks (Pikachu ex Zapdos ex, Charizard ex Arcanine, etc.)
- Confirmed potential of off-meta decks (Exeggutor ex Celebi ex, Alakazam Mew ex)
Key patterns from this tournament's meta:
- Mewtwo ex decks on top: expect more variants to appear
- Speed and firepower: fast setups are a decisive factor
- Off-meta potential: decks like Exeggutor ex Celebi ex stand out for their efficiency
Conclusion
These results point to a Pocket meta defined by diversity and experimentation.
While the reliable Mewtwo ex Gardevoir deck led the way, unexpected decks proved their worth with high win rates.
Watch for further meta shifts and the emergence of new counter strategies.
In short, this tournament showcased a meta where a stable centerpiece (Mewtwo ex Gardevoir) coexists with a wide range of strategic wildcards. Expect future events to keep exploring off-meta surprises, a faster aggro-leaning meta, and new card strategies.
