The arrival of new cards with the Hidden Spring expansion has completely revolutionized the metagame of Pokémon TCG Pocket.
Strategies that once seemed unbeatable have fallen behind, and today, decks that combine speed, control, and high offensive power stand out. Among them, Raikou ex and Suicune ex decks are positioned as the strongest at the moment.
A renewed metagame with Hidden Spring
The release of this expansion introduced the Legendary Dogs and brought renewed value to classics like Celebi and Suicune ex, which have opened the door to new combinations. Competitive players have found in these cards the central axis to build decks capable of dominating PVP, with mechanics that take advantage of both drawing additional cards and chain damage.
In this context, two decks stand out that have consolidated themselves at the top of the meta: the offensive and direct Raikou ex deck and the versatile and destructive Suicune ex deck.
Raikou ex deck: speed and constant pressure

The Raikou ex deck is characterized by a simple yet forceful approach: taking advantage of its ability to draw additional cards each turn, accelerating the setup of a devastating attack with Magnezone.
The inclusion of Oricorio allows players to neutralize opposing Pokémon ex at key moments, while supporters like Sabrina, Lylia, or Cyrus provide stability during the match. This is a deck classified as Tier A+, ideal for those seeking an offensive, fast, and easy-to-execute playstyle.
Suicune ex deck: control and explosive damage
Unlike Raikou, the Suicune ex deck stands out for a more strategic offense. Its ability allows players to draw additional cards while dealing damage by taking advantage of a full bench, making it an increasing threat as the duel progresses.
The reinforcement of Greninja, with its ability to deal multiple damage through shuriken, increases the pressure on the opponent. Additionally, cards like Nákara (Irida) and Rare Candy facilitate the team's rapid evolution. This deck has been classified as Tier S, considered one of the most powerful in Pokémon TCG Pocket today.

A competitive meta in constant evolution
The Hidden Spring expansion has made it clear that the metagame of Pokémon TCG Pocket can change radically with each new batch of cards. Raikou ex and Suicune ex decks currently dominate the competitive scene, but the community is already exploring new synergies with other legendary Pokémon that could displace the current favorites.
The truth is that both novice and experienced players find solid options in these decks to climb the ranks in PVP and stay at the forefront of strategy.
