Plenty of other combinations were tried as well — Articuno, Starmie, Wigglytuff, Ekans, and more — but judging by the key matchups and win-rate distribution, these three pillars shaped the overall flow of the event.
Overall Usage and Win Rate Analysis
Mewtwo ex Gardevoir
The most-played deck of the event, yet its average win rate sat below 50% at roughly 47.8%. With so many players picking it up, it drew concentrated counterplay from the rest of the field.
Pikachu ex Zebstrika
Posting a solid share and win rate, it spearheaded the rise of Lightning-type decks.
Charizard ex Arcanine ex
Its consistent performance kept it appearing near the top of the standings. It struggled to break into title contention, however, which points to weaknesses against Lightning decks and certain counter cards.

Final Takeaways
This tournament will be remembered as the moment Lightning-type decks (the Pikachu ex family) emerged as the meta breaker cutting through the field. Mewtwo ex Gardevoir, the established powerhouse, saw its overall win rate dip under concentrated counterplay despite widespread adoption — but it still claimed part of the top standings, proving its raw power.
Looking Ahead
• Counter strategies targeting Lightning-type decks are likely to appear.
• Watch whether Mewtwo ex Gardevoir can reclaim the meta by adopting comeback tools or new counter cards.
• Creative builds like Wigglytuff ex Ekans could also shape a new meta.
