Ive been playing Pokemon TCG Pocket for a little over a month (I took an extended holiday to New Zealand, if anyone asks) and in that time Ive tried a whole lot of decks, and been impressed by very few.

Right now the best decks in the Pokemon TCG Meta are: S-tier Mewtwo ex (Psychic): This deck focuses on Mewtwo ex up front and having Gardevoir on the bench, using the latter to rapidly power up the former to do massive damage. Pikachu ex (Lightning): A high-speed deck designed to do rapid damage before the opponent can set up their own play.

If you want to counter that deck, your best bet will be using a deck centered around Pikachu, everyone's favorite Pokémon. This means having many lightning-type Pokémon on the bench to activate our Pikachu EX. The key to this deck is to evolve your Pokémon as fast as possible, as the base health of most of these cards isn't that high.
