Volcanion decks such as Azul's have been some of the hottest at the North American International Championships. This deck can be hungry for Energy, so Azul answers the call with Turtonator-GX and its Nitro Tank-GX attack, as well as Starmie and its Space Beacon Ability.

Hayden's deck is a testament to the amazing quality of the Sun & Moon—Guardians Rising expansion—every one of his Pokémon hails from it. Metagross-GX hasn't quite blown up yet, but it has all the elements to become a winning Pokémon.

Greninja BREAK keeps going and going. It was a standout Pokémon at the 2016 US National Championships, and it's still making a big splash one year later. Justin's deck features a streamlined set of Pokémon, with only the popular Talonflame outside of the Greninja line.

Pablo has created a deck where none of his opponent's Pokémon are safe. Decidueye-GX, Alolan Ninetales-GX, and Tapu Koko can all deal damage to Benched Pokémon, and Tapu Lele-GX and Mewtwo can hit the opponent's Active Pokémon with serious force.

The talk of this deck might be the challenging and fun Zoroark BREAK, but don't overlook the value of Drampa-GX. Sarah includes the Team Magma's Secret Base Stadium card to help put damage on her own Pokémon, maximizing Drampa-GX's Berserk attack. It also serves to knock out other pesky Stadium cards such as Brooklet Hill and Forest of Giant Plants.

There's a lot going on in Steffen's Pokémon-stuffed deck. The core of this deck is still Mega Rayquaza-EX and its Emerald Break attack, which is aided by the Sky Field Stadium card. New Pokémon have lined up to fill the Bench, including Oricorio and Tapu Lele-GX, as well as Sudowoodo to keep the power of Sky Field all to himself.

Tom's deck reminds his opponent's that Garbodor has been a fiendish Pokémon for quite some time. Not only does it include the latest Garbodor that can punish opponents for playing Item cards; it also includes the earlier Garbodor that shuts down Abilities.
