Revamp Urgently Needed for Top Fighting Deck in Pokémon TCG

Alright, so let’s dive into this wild world of Pokemon TCG Pocket, or as some folks might say, “cardboard crack”—but, you know, in a fun way. So, Eevee Grove released a couple of weeks ago. Can you believe it’s been two weeks? Time flies, right? Now, unless you’re hell-bent on snagging a couple of cards you’ve missed for your deck—seriously, we’ve all been there—it might be wise to stash those Hourglasses. Why? Because another expansion’s gonna drop come July’s end. Exciting times, huh?

Now, nobody really knows what’s up next, but if I had to guess, maybe some more Gen 2 or Gen 3 critters. We’ve barely seen them in this game. And fingers crossed for those fighting cards because let’s be real—they’ve been kinda meh since Triumphant Light. Could really use a jolt of energy in that department!

Not saying they’re total duds, but they’re definitely not turning heads in tournaments. The meta’s kinda stuck, leaning heavily on Space-Time Smackdown and Triumphant Light decks. Lucario Ex pops up now and then, but honestly, it’s like trying to find Waldo in a candy cane store. And speaking of memorable faces, Rampardos and Garchomp Ex are still MVPs. They’re like the Old Faithful of the Fighting deck world.

Oh! And here’s a fun side note—I found this image while scrolling through the interwebs. It’s super related and totally not just an excuse to slip in a link because, hey, aesthetics matter, right?

Anyway—wait, where was I? Ah, Rampardos! This card is like the one-and-only Rock in a sea of gravel. Came with Space-Time Smackdown and honestly, still crushing it. The card’s got that sweet 150 HP and can land 130 damage with just a single Fighting Energy. I mean, who doesn’t love a solid one-hit punch? Sure, there’s a downside with the 50 recoil damage, but isn’t that just part of life—a little give and take?

And geez, it gets juicy with Rare Candy from Celestial Guardians. Can get that Rampardos swinging by your second turn if you play it right. Silvally pairs well, for those keeping score. It’s like pairing wine with cheese, only nerdier and significantly less tasty.

Now, some might call a Rampardos/Silvally deck mix a “half-Fighting” affair because Silvally’s technically Normal. But hey, who’s counting when you’re busy wreaking havoc on your opponents?

Cards like these make booster packs totally worth buying. Yet, Rampardos can’t hog the throne forever. So, here’s hoping new expansions bring in something equally spectacular for Fighting types.

Don’t get me started on Garchomp Ex—that beast from Triumphant Light. What a throwback. Two attacks, and talk about HP—170 for a Stage 2 Ex! That’s beefy. Pair it again with Rampardos, and you’ve got yourself a powerhouse duo. And use Lillie as a Supporter to sprinkle a little healing magic. Strategy, baby!

So there you have it—deep dives, nostalgic nods, and probably more tangents than you bargained for. Can’t wait to see what twists and turns this game throws at us next!
