Pokémon TCG Pocket: Pheromosa's Tier S deck that is dominating the current meta

The Dimensional Crisis expansion has shaken the competitive ecosystem of Pokémon TCG Pocket, introducing Ultra Beasts, creatures with unique abilities that, in the right hands, can dismantle any rival strategy. In this new scenario, the Pheromosa deck with Buzzwole ex has positioned itself as one of the most effective Tier S decks in the game.

Thanks to its speed, multi-attack capability, and support from key cards like Erika or Leaf Cape, this deck has become the best option for players seeking to dominate the current meta. If you're ready to take your game to the next level, this guide will explain how to build and  use the Pheromosa deck efficiently.

Complete Tier S Pheromosa and Buzzwole ex deck list

The key to this deck lies in early aggression and efficient energy management. Below is the recommended card list:

• 2x Buzzwole ex
• 2x Pheromosa
• 2x Celesteela
• 2x Erika
• 1x Helio (Cyrus)
• 1x Venus (Mars)
• 1x Pokémon Center Lady
• 1x Entita
• 2x Leaf Cape
• 2x Samina (Lusamine)
• 2x Poké Ball
• 2x Professor's Research: Professor Oak

Strategy: double damage from the first turn

The strength of this deck is based on applying pressure from the very first turn. With Pheromosa's Jump Blues attack, it's possible to attack two targets simultaneously, reducing the opponent's control over their bench and accelerating the prize race.

The goal is to wear down the opponent quickly with Pheromosa while you prepare Buzzwole ex for its final attack, Big Beat, which can close out games when executed at the right moment.

Grass-type synergies: healing and resilience

Erika's support allows you to recover 50 HP, while Leaf Cape grants an additional 30 HP, making your Ultra Beasts more resilient in battle.  This Grass-type synergy is essential for keeping your key cards active for more turns.

Celesteela as offensive and tactical support

The deck doesn't rely exclusively on  Pheromosa and Buzzwole. Celesteela can temporarily take the active spot with its Moombahton attack, while preparing a switch with its Ultrapropulsors ability. This strategic move can change the course of the match if used correctly.

Additional resources to dominate every match

• Venus (Mars) allows you to dismantle the opponent's strategy.
• Entita boosts attacks: up to 130 HP for Buzzwole ex or 30 to two enemies with Pheromosa.
• Samina delivers two energies directly to the field, ideal for accelerating key plays in the second half of the game.

Why this deck is considered Tier S

The combination of fast offense, defensive synergies, and field control makes this deck currently one of the most complete in Pokémon TCG Pocket. It dominates both in short matches and prolonged games, and offers answers against multiple types of opponents.
