Pokemon TCG Pocket best Meowscarada deck: Strategy and key cards

1) Meowscarada: The main attacker

• HP: 140
• Move: Fighting Claws
• Move Effect: For two Grass Energy, deal 60 base damage. If the opponent's Active Pokemon is an ex card, deal an additional 70 damage — totaling 130 damage.

In today’s meta, where ex cards dominate the scene, Meowscarada becomes an efficient and deadly attacker. It can deal huge damage against common threats like Darkrai ex or Giratina ex, often knocking out major threats in one or two hits.

With Red added to the mix (+20 damage to ex Pokemon), Meowscarada’s Fighting Claws can spike up to 150 damage, enough to one-shot most ex threats, especially those weak to Grass.

Sprigatito, its Basic form, adds early-game consistency. Its Cry for Help move allows you to search and fetch any Grass Pokemon from your deck, helping you set up quickly before evolving.

2) Beedrill ex: Your late-game disruptor

• HP: 170
• Move: Crushing Spear
• Move Effect: For two Grass Energy, deal 80 damage and discard a random Energy from the opponent’s Active Pokemon.

This deck version stands out from others thanks to its inclusion of a Beedrill line. While some players experiment with Exeggutor or even pure Meowscarada decks, this Beedrill tech makes late-game board control much easier.

Beedrill ex punishes opponents that rely on stacked Energy setups — perfect against energy-hungry threats like Giratina ex, who requires four Energy to launch attacks. One Crushing Spear can throw off their rhythm entirely.

• Professor’s Research: Gives you two additional cards — great for maintaining hand advantage.

Does the Pokemon TCG Pocket Meowscarada deck counter Giratina ex and Darkrai ex?

Absolutely. This deck is built to punish ex Pokemon, and both the current meta Darkrai ex and Giratina ex fall in that category.

• Darkrai ex is Grass-weak, so not only does Meowscarada’s Fighting Claws do extra damage for targeting an ex card — it also benefits from the type advantage. That turns 130 damage into 150, enough for an instant knockout.
• Giratina ex isn’t weak to Grass, but it’s highly Energy-dependent, needing four to attack. Beedrill ex’s Crushing Spear helps cripple it by stripping away Energy at random, making it much harder for Giratina to stay threatening.

This Meowscarada + Beedrill ex deck is not just powerful — it’s also a blast to play. With Sprigatito’s early setup support, Meowscarada’s meta-busting damage, and Beedrill ex’s disruptive presence, the deck offers both offense and control.

Whether you’re facing off against Darkrai, Giratina, or other ex-heavy decks, this build gives you the upper hand. Try it out — you might find it to be your new go-to Grass-type deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket.
