Temporal Forces releases on March 22nd, so its time to look at all the full art cards that have been revealed so far. There is a lot of cool art in this set, and a lot you’re going to want to chase. Check out the full list of spoilers and their translations. Always support your LGS, but I made a list of places where you can preorder if that isn’t an option.

Portland Regionals brought the meta back to its roots. A lot of familiar decks made it to top 8, with the finals being a decisive mirror match between Lost Giratina. There were a couple of odd archetypes to make top 30, but I’ll just be showing top 5. I’ll leave links to the singles for those who need them.

1. Lost Giratina
I mean, there is no surprise here. The Lost Box Engine always does great at tournaments, and Lost Giratina is no exception. The deck is a little tricky to play because you need to be efficient when sending cards into the Lost Zone, but the deck has a great draw engine, strong early-game pressure, and Giratina gives the deck its late-game pressure as well. I’ve played a version of this and love it. It’s a little tricky for beginners, but that’s why you practice. Congratulations to Jon Eng for getting first!
Energy (14) 4 Jet Energy PAL 190 4 Psychic Energy 5 3 Grass Energy 1 3 Water Energy 3
2. Fusion Mew
Fusion Mew was the first meta deck I’ve ever made. I loved it so much that I even made irl, even though I don’t have people to play with. This deck is so much fun to play, and pretty simple to pick up. Genesect is a solid draw engine, mew is a fun attacker, and with things like Power Tablet and Path to the Peak, you have a nice kit to shut down a lot of big threats. Mew is easy to learn, but beginners might have trouble with all the prominent dark Pokémon in the format. Mew VMax makes the deck a high-risk high-reward type deal. Either way, it’s a solid deck. Congratulations to Maddox Corcoran for getting top 3!
Gardevoir is my favorite deck to play. You have a solid draw engine, you have great attackers, and some neat mechanics. With Shinning Arcana Gardevoir leaving the format, she might see a little less play after rotations so I’d hold off investing too much on this, unless you aren’t playing standard. Congratulations to Bodhi Robinson for making top 4.
I’ve been playing a lot of Miraidon on the ladder, and it is a lot of fun. This is definitely the most beginner-friendly deck in the format at the moment, but with Flaffy leaving the format, I would wait till the new meta settles. This deck is easy to learn and super quick to set up. Congratulations to Nicholas Moffitt for top 5.
Last but not least we have Arceus. I haven’t played the deck, but it looks like fun. You have a nice draw engine, a few ways to accelerate energies, and some fun attacks. I’m going to have to build this one at some point. Congratulations to Makani Tran for top 6!
I know we are still waiting on Paldean Fates, but we did get some spoilers for the upcoming Temporal Forces, hitting shelves on March 22nd. There are some cool cards in this set, and a lot to be excited for. With the upcoming rotation shaking up the meta, it’s never too early to see what’s on the horizon. None of my decks will be legal soon, but I am very excited to play something new.

The San Antonio Pokemon regionals happened over the weekend, and we got to see some new archetypes hit the format. Charizard ex Finally takes the gold, and the Snorlax control continues to perform well. I’ll be listing the top five archetypes based on placement, and leave links for the singles using my affiliate links.
If you enjoy these updates, please leave a like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends. If you’re looking for any Pokemon product, get it over at TCG Player.
1. Charizard ex
I know Charizard has its hate since it was released with Obsidian Flames, but it is such a good card. It’s bulky, it can hit hard when you’re behind in prizes, and its ability lets you power up your Pokémon. It’s not unbeatable, but it creates situations that are hard to come back from. The deck is easy to learn, and will make up most of your matches on PTCGL until the next tournament. Congratulations to Azul Garcia Griego for taking first place!
To no one’s surprise, Losttina continues to do well in the tournament despite Jirachi entering the format. There’s nothing wrong with silver, and if you’re looking for a fun deck to play, this is a solid choice. I’ve played a variation of this on PTCGL and loved every minute. Congratulations to Grant Hays for 2nd place!
Energy (13) 4 Jet Energy PAL 190 4 Psychic Energy 5 3 Grass Energy 1 2 Water Energy 3
3. Palkia VStar
Palkia VStar also made its appearance. Palkia VStar has always shown up to tournaments, but San Antonio is where it truly shined. This is going to be an archetype to look out for. Congratulations to Joseph Nawal for taking Palkia VStar to 3rd place.
I know there is a lot of hate for Snorlax control because it makes for boring games, but it’s a valid strategy. I am just happy to see the format change, and it’s a great excuse to bust out Alakazam ex. Congratulations to Calvin Conner for making top 5.
This doesn’t surprise me at all, Maraidon ex is strong right now. I’ve been playing it on the ladder and love it. It is easy to pick up and pilot, and it is a really quick deck. With the inclusion of Iron Hands ex, this deck is a beast! Congratulations to Nick Robinson for getting 7th place!
The holidays have officially arrived on Aeos Island. Beginning December 7th, players can log into Pokémon Unite for some much-needed holiday cheer. This marks the return of the Snow Battle game mode, which is the only reason I’m logging back in. There are a few other events that you aren’t going to want to miss. Check out the schedule for all the details.
Meowscarada
Meowscarada is the first Paldean Pokémon to appear in Pokémon Unite, and it’s going to be a beast. Just check out that ability:
Meowscarada’s Ability, Overgrow, allows it to vanish into leaves for a short period of time after its max HP is reduced to half or less. Once triggered, Meowscarada’s movement speed and damage dealt increase for a short while, and it can even recover HP during this time by dealing damage to an opposing Pokémon.
You can pick up Meowscarada’s license through the special event happening from December 7th to January 9th. Players can complete missions to earn petals to unlock the license. You’ll need 100 pedals of the four colors to unlock Meowscarada.
Metagross
Metagross will be landing on Aeos Island on December 26th. There is no news on how we can unlock Metagross (probably with money), but we can still be excited. This is good news for those of you out there that like to play those tanky Pokémon.
I just wanted to highlight the bits I am most excited for, you can learn more in app when the events go live. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends. Happy Holidays!
Pokémon Horizons: The Series will be available to stream on Netflix on February 23rd, right in time for Pokémon Day. While I am sad that the series will no longer follow Ash and Pikachu, I am excited about what direction the new series takes. The series will Liko and Roy as they brave new Horizons in the first new anime series in 25 years.
The OfficialSynopsis:
A new adventure is beginning within the wide world of Pokémon! Arriving at Indigo Academy, a girl named Liko receives her first partner Pokémon, Sprigatito. But she soon finds herself pursued by the Explorers, a mysterious group that’s determined to take the pendant necklace she wears. Liko isn’t on her own, though, as Friede, Captain Pikachu, and the other Rising Volt Tacklers offer her protection aboard their airship. Meanwhile, a boy named Roy dreams of becoming a Pokémon Trainer, unaware of the secret hiding within the Ancient Poké Ball he carries. As Liko, Roy, and the Rising Volt Tacklers set sail for new horizons, what kind of discoveries await?
Sneak Peak
A sneak peek of the first episode is up on the official YouTube, and I recommend you check it out if you can’t wait till February.
I wasn’t going to watch this series, but I just love the animation and character design to let it pass me by. Pokémon has never been a genre-defining anime, but it has always been a comforting one. For an anime that is designed to sell toys to kids, I can’t deny that it has its moments. I am sure this series will be just as cheesy and silly as the rest, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Whether you throw it on as background noise or sit down to watch it with your kids, this is looking like an adventure you aren’t going to want to miss.
Paldean Fates is coming to us on January 26th, so let’s look at the alt art cards. This set has some pretty cards you aren’t going to want to miss. I love the gold cards, and I definitely need some of the shiny ex’s for a few of my decks. Check with your LGS to preorder any product, but I’ve collected some links if that isn’t an option.
If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.
Paldean Fates releases on January 26. This mini set will introduce a few shiny versions you’re going to want in your collection, but it’s also introducing some brand-new cards you are going to want to look at. I’ve collected what we have so far, and their translations. It’s going to be a long one. As of writing this, you can preorder the Pokémon Center Paldean Fates ETB ($59.99) and the Paldean Fates booster bundle ($26.94) from the Pokémon Center.

Preorders for the Pokémon Center ETB and the Booster Bundle are up on the Pokémon Center site. Lets take a look at all the shinys!
If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.
Paradox Riftreleases today! It has a lot of cool cards that will not only shift the meta but that you’ll want in your collection. I see a few full art cards I will be chasing, like that sweet Laudred.
If it isn’t obvious, Paradox Rift is also live on PTCGL. Players get access to the Roaring Moon ex and Gholdengo ex decks, which are very solid starts at the moment. I know Roaring Moonhas been taking over the ladder, but at least it’s not Charizard ex. It’s going to be an awkward couple of days as the meta settles, but I am here for it. At least I start grinding the mission pass.
However you enjoy the game, this feels like a very fun set to open. If the drop rates are anything like what I’ve seen on PTCGL, I love it a lot more than 151. Make sure you always support your LGS when buying any Pokemon product, but you can always pick up Paradox Rift, or any of the other sets on TCG Player through my affiliate links.
