The Shining Revelry expansion has lit up the Pokémon TCG Pocket competitive scene with new mechanics, shiny reprints, and game-changing cards. Players everywhere are brewing fresh decks while old archetypes evolve to adapt. If you’re preparing for serious competition or just want to stay ahead of the curve, knowing the best decks in the Shining Revelry meta is essential. In this article, we will be breaking down the Top 5 Competitive Decks dominating the Shining Revelry meta, complete with a look at their strengths, weaknesses, and why they’re winning right now.

• Giratina EX and Darkrai EX Deck
  

The key cards in this deck are as follows:

• Darkrai EX x 2
  
• Giratina EX x 2
  
• Sabrina x 1
  
• Leaf x 1
  
• Giant Cape x 2
  
• Rocky Helmet x 2
  
• Cyrus x 1
  
• Mars x 1
  
• Pokemon Center Lady x 1
  
• Red x 1
  
• Potion x 2
  
• Poke Ball x 2
  
• Professor’s Research x 2
  

Darkrai ex pairs well with Giratina ex, as both are Pokemon that reward you merely for existing on the field. You can easily complete your turns by attaching Energy to Darkrai ex and ending with Giratina ex’s Broken-Space Bellow. Darkrai ex’s Nightmare Aura can bring opposing Pokemon within KO range of Giratina ex’s Chaotic Impact. Once Giratina ex or Darkrai ex are ready to attack, replace your Active Pokemon with Leaf. When Darkrai ex’s progressive damage is insufficient, use Red to meet crucial HP benchmarks like as Dialga ex’s 150.

• Weavile EX and Darkrai EX Deck
  

The key cards in this deck are as follows:

• Sneasel x 2
  
• Weavile EX x 2
  
• Darkrai EX x 2
  
• Sabrina x 1
  
• Leaf x 2
  
• Giant Cape x 2
  
• Cyrus x 2
  
• Dawn x 1
  
• Red x 2
  
• Poke Ball x 2
  
• Professor’s Research x 2
  

This Darkrai ex variant can deal a whopping 90 damage with Dawn. Attach an Energy to a benched Darkrai ex to activate Nightmare Aura, which deals 20 damage to your opponent’s Active Pokemon. Then, use Dawn to transfer it to your Active Weavile ex and strike with Scratching Nails for 70. This deck can easily achieve this combo.

• Giratina EX and Mewtwo EX Deck
  

The key cards in this deck are as follows:

• Mewtwo EX x 1
  
• Giratina EX x 2
  
• Sabrina x 2
  
• Blue x 1
  
• Leaf x 2
  
• Giant Cape x 2
  
• Rocky Helmet x 1
  
• Cyrus x 1
  
• Dawn x 2
  
• Red x 2
  
• Poke Ball x 2
  
• Professor’s Research x 2
  

This deck performs similarly to an 18 Trainer deck, but with an additional Pokemon. Mewtwo ex can aid to KO the Pokemon that Giratina ex cannot defeat in a single hit. This deck necessitates patience and preparation. An overcommitment of resources can often result in early defeat for the player. Try not to play all your hands in the starting rounds.

• Gyrados EX and Origin Forme Palkia Deck
  

The key cards in this deck are as follows:

• Magikarp x 2
  
• Gyrados EX x 2
  
• Manaphy x 2
  
• Origin Forme Palkia x 1
  
• Misty x 2
  
• Sabrina x 1
  
• Leaf x 1
  
• Giant Cape x 2
  
• Irida x 2
  
• Red x 1
  
• Poke Ball x 1
  
• Professor’s Research x 2
  

Manaphy is the appropriate starting card for this deck due to his ability to set up teammates. Once Manaphy has been defeated, try to send out Origin Forme Palkia. Once properly set up, send out a Gyarados ex and score KOs. Matches against Fighting decks with Hitmonlee are difficult since they can KO a Benched Magikarp with Stretch Kick. In these matches, check to see if Hitmonlee is on the field, or safely bench Magikarp if you can evolve the next turn or have a Giant Cape available.

• Bibarel EX and Origin Forme Palkia Deck
  

The key cards in this deck are as follows:

• Manaphy x 2
  
• Origin Forme Palkia x 2
  
• Bidoof x 2
  
• Bibarel EX x 2
  
• Sabrina x 1
  
• Leaf x 1
  
• Giant Cape x 2
  
• Irida x 2
  
• Potion x 2
  
• Poke Ball x 2
  
• Professor’s Research x 2
  

This deck uses Manaphy as an Energy accelerator, allowing Origin Forme Palkia and Bibarel to be the deck’s primary attackers. If Manaphy is knocked out or is not in your hand, you can employ Origin Forme Palkia as a wall while Bibarel is setting up.
