Each year, the Standard format rotation brings change and new life to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Old strategies fall by the wayside as new ones emerge, and some strategies gain new relevance as their toughest adversaries leave the format. We've already discussed a Volcanion deck and a Yanmega BREAK deck that have the potential to be great, but let's take a look at some other decks that look to be promising for this new season of the Pokémon TCG.
Mega Evolution Takeover
With the notable exception of Shintaro Ito's victory with Mega Audino-EX at the 2016 Pokémon TCG World Championships, Mega Evolution Pokémon didn't have a ton of success in the previous season. Most of them were just too slow to keep up with Night March decks or had a Weakness to those pesky Joltik or Pumpkaboo. But with those out of the way, it could be time for some of these massive Pokémon-EX to rise again.
