Pokémon TCG Pocket: the Meowscarada deck that dominates the Brilliant Festival meta

This deck has established itself as one of the most accessible and powerful Tier A in the current environment

With the arrival of the Brilliant Festival expansion to Pokémon TCG Pocket, the metagame has received a breath of fresh air. New cards, abilities, and synergies are redefining strategies, and one of the most notable combinations at the moment is the Meowscarada deck, which has established itself as one of the most accessible and powerful Tier A in the current environment.

Meowscarada: the star of the moment

Meowscarada's Claw Fighting attack is the core of this deck. Its main virtue lies in gaining 70 power points (HP) when facing a Pokémon ex, reaching 130 HP, and going up to 150 HP when used in conjunction with the Red support card. This figure allows it to easily eliminate many of the Pokémon ex that dominate the format.

"A simple but lethal combination, capable of taking down opponents before they can react," highlight several competitive players.

Leafeon ex: an ideal complement

But Meowscarada is not alone. In this strategy, it combines with Leafeon ex, whose Forest Breath ability accelerates energy charging. This allows it to use Solar Beam quickly, being a solid response to Pokémon that do not belong to the ex category.

Additionally, the deck includes supports like Erika, which helps recover HP, and Giant Cape, which reinforces the vitality of your creatures in battle.

Recommended card list

  • 2x Eevee
  • 2x Leafeon ex
  • 2x Sprigatito

  • 2x Meowscarada

  • 2x Red
  • 2x Poké Ball
  • 2x Professor's Research: Professor Oak

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Excellent against Pokémon ex
  • Easy to assemble and understand
  • Great synergy between Meowscarada and Leafeon ex
  • Weakness against Fire-type decks
  • Advantage against Water-type decks

For those looking for a variant, it's possible to replace Eevee and Leafeon ex with Arceus ex and Carnivine, although the original synergy keeps a better balance in offense and speed.

"This Meowscarada combo is a real powerhouse if played well. It destroys Water decks and defends like few others against ex decks," conclude from the competitive community.
