The best trainers create the most balanced and cool card decks, which everyone can try out. These decks are frequently updated, and we have prepared for you a list of the best Pokémon TCG decks for March 2024.

Giratina VSTAR

This deck has shown itself from the best side, winning numerous tournaments. Just in the last few months, Giratina VSTAR has taken 8 prize places, which speaks to its effectiveness better than anything else. 

For beginners, this deck may seem awkward, as it can noticeably fall behind the opponent's deck at the beginning of the game. Do not give up on Giratina VSTAR, as this is where the tactic lies. You need to close the Lost Zone, using Comfey and Colress's Experiment cards. This is necessary to open Mirage Gate and strengthen the Giratina VSTAR card to deal colossal damage.

Also, remember that by the end of the match, you can use the Roxanne card, which can significantly spoil the game for your opponent. In combination with the Path to the Peak card, you can altogether disable Rule Box Pokémon, which are widely present in other decks.
