In the competitive universe of the digital TCG Pokémon Pocket, the balance of the metagame is going through a critical stage.
Decks centered around Giratina overwhelmingly dominate high-level matches, but the real core of the problem lies in the influence of accessories within the most popular decks. Elements like Giant Cape and Rocky Helmet have become a constant, which restricts strategic diversity and limits free play options.
The dominance of accessories in the metagame
Both accessories are present in the majority of current competitive decks. They provide key defensive and offensive advantages, which means that without them, many strategies become obsolete. Currently, the game only offers one card capable of removing them: Starly, a basic Pokémon whose attack deals minimal damage and allows the removal of an enemy tool.
"Building a deck around Starly is not viable in the current environment, leaving players without an effective way to respond to the supremacy of these items," analyze members of the competitive community.
This situation creates a stagnation effect in the meta, with few variations among the most successful lists.
