🏆 The Best New Decks for Ranked Battles in Wisdom of Sea and Sky

The new expansion Wisdom of Sea and Sky has brought exciting updates to the Pokémon TCG Pocket metagame. Whether you're climbing the Ranked Battles ladder or just fine-tuning your strategy, the right deck can make all the difference.

Let’s dive into the top decks you should be playing right now—and how Pocket Swap can help you trade for the cards you need to build them.

🦇 Crobat ex + Umbreon ex: Fast Poison Control

Key cards: Crobat ex, Umbreon ex, Sylveon, Darkrai

This deck focuses on early pressure and poison synergy. Thanks to Rare Candy, Stage 2 Pokémon like Crobat ex have become a strong pick. Crobat’s Venomous Splash costs just 1 Energy, hits for 70 damage, and poisons the opponent—ramping total damage up to 170 over two turns.

Pair it with Pokémon like Nihilego for added poison boosts or Darkrai to keep up the pressure. With 170 HP and low retreat cost, Crobat ex is durable, agile, and deadly.

✅ Why it wins:

• One-energy attacker
• Great synergy with Poison-based cards
• Perfect for early-game control

🔮 Espeon ex: Survivability and Synergy

Key cards: Espeon ex, Eevee ex, Sylveon ex

Espeon ex is a smart counter to aggressive decks. Its Ability, Psychic Healing, recovers 30 HP when it’s in the Active Spot. That’s often enough to avoid knockouts from key threats or sidestep disruption from cards like Cyrus.

Combined with strong Eeveelution energy support, this deck plays well into both healing and consistent damage strategies.

✅ Why it wins:

• Built-in healing from the Active Spot
• Strong synergy with other Eeveelutions
• High consistency with good Energy support

🐘 Donphan ex: Midgame Monster

Key cards: Donphan ex, Rampardos

Donphan ex is a Stage 1 powerhouse that scales into the late game. Its attack, Gigantic Press, deals 50 damage for 1 Energy, or 110 damage when fully powered up with 3 Energy. That flexibility makes it a reliable attacker throughout the match.

Donphan’s 160 HP makes it hard to knock out in one hit, giving you more time to build your board.

✅ Why it wins:

• Versatile damage options
• Great tank against popular attackers
• Strong pressure without relying on evolution chains

🐉 Dragonite ex: High Damage, High Reward

Key cards: Dragonite ex, Pichu, Cleffa, Zeraora

At last, Dragon-type Pokémon ex are making waves with Dragonite ex. It has one attack—Giga Impact—but it hits like a truck: 180 damage for just 3 Energy. The catch? Dragonite can’t attack next turn after using it.

Luckily, with more Energy acceleration and switch options in TCG Pocket, this downside is manageable. Plus, Dragonite ex has no Weakness and 180 HP, making it a true late-game threat.

✅ Why it wins:

• Huge damage output
• No exploitable Weakness
• Synergizes well with switching cards
