I've showcased 17 decks on this site, but you'd best believe there are many more interesting decks lurking in the format. Below are some that might catch your fancy.
"Pure" Pult: This build cuts the Dusknoir line for Basic techs (Maractus, Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex, 2nd Munkidori) and cards that support those techs (3rd Boss, 4th Luminous Energy, Penny). Got 3rd at Regional Frankfurt.
Blaziken Pult: This build uses Blaziken ex as Dragapult ex's partner. Got 4th at Regional Frankfurt.
MunkiLass: Basically Marnie's Grimmsnarl ex minus the Grimmsnarl. Won Regional Milwaukee, Junior Division (SVI-JTG).
Noctowl Zard: There's two builds of this; the first is closer to DawnZard from SVI-PFL, using Terapagos ex as a combo enabler for Noctowl to search up Trainers to get Pidgeot ex or Charizard ex out. This build won Regional Monterrey, Junior Division. The second build is closer to Tera Box, with the star of the show being Wellspring Mask Ogerpon ex firing off Torrential Pumps powered by Sparkling Crystal and Crispin, and Charizard ex being in there as an alternative form of Energy acceleration and lategame attacker.
ZardNoir: Yet another Charizard build. This one utilizes Precious Trolley to fill the Bench with Charmanders and Duskulls, popping Dusclops/Dusknoir to reach 1HKO thresholds or to snipe evolving Basics/Stage 1s.
PultZard: Dragapult ex + Charizard ex. Got 7th at Regional Monterrey.
JoltDengo: Joltik + Gholdengo ex. Won Senior Division at Worlds and is one of the 2025 World Championships Decks.
Teal Mask Ogerpon ex is a Basic Pokémon that provides both Energy acceleration and a small bit of draw power. As such, it's ripe for decks to be built around abusing its Ability.
Ogerpon Box: Use Teal Mask Ogerpon ex to accelerate Grass Energy, then Energy Switch or N's Plan to move that Energy onto other attackers (or Ogre's Mask to switch Teal Mask for Wellspring/Cornerstone Mask).
Toedscruel ex: Use Teal Mask Ogerpon ex to accelerate Energy and Energy Switch to spread them around for Toedscruel ex's attack. Toedscruel ex's Ability provides effect immunity, and non-ex Toedscruel is an easy-to-fit tech against Gholdengo ex. Got 5th at NAIC 2025 (SVI-DRI).
Greninja ex: Uses Ignition Energy to "cheat" the discard on Mirage Barrage, and Grand Tree as its ACE SPEC. The opponent won't get an opportunity to use Grand Tree if you manage to snipe all their evolving Basics first. Got 11th at Regional Frankfurt.
Slowking: Use Xatu to attach Psychic Energy to Slowking, Jet Energy to send it Active, and Academy at Night or Ciphermaniac's Codebreaking to stack the appropriate attacker on top of your deck. If your opponent plays Colress's Tenacity, you can skip all that and just play Kyurem and use its attack for 1 Energy!
Hydreigon ex: Obsidian is expensive and color-intensive, but unlike other Bench spread attacks, it doesn't discard Energy attached to the Pokémon using it. Got 16th at Special Event Bologna (SVI-JTG).
Hop's Zacian ex: Has a cheap 1-Energy attack. Supplement its damage with all the various buffs (Snorlax, Choice Band, Postwick) and Iron Valiant ex. Technical Machine: Devolution can send high-HP Stage 1/2 ex's back into KO range.
These decks want to go first, find Pecharunt + Brute Bonnet + Ancient Booster Energy Capsule + Perilous Jungle, and pass the turn with the opponent's Pokémon Poisoned. If that's their only Pokémon and it has 80 or less HP, they lose during Checkup. Since these decks need to see so many cards on their first turn, they inevitably play Squawkabilly ex + Carmine, and their plan B involves taking advantage of a well-stocked discard pile by using cards that accelerate Energy from there.
Roaring Moon ex: Can wear Ancient Booster Energy Capsule for some extra bulk. Got 9th at Philippines Master Ball League.
Archaludon ex: Has very high HP for a Stage 1. Relicanth gives it access to a slightly better attack that converts its ability to tank hits into more damage. Got 6th at Regional Milwaukee, Junior Division (SVI-JTG).
Terapagos ex: Low Energy cost for its attack, and can use Glass Trumpet (not a Supporter) for acceleration.
Roaring Moon: The deck that won Junior Division at Worlds in 2024. The same archetype took 7th at Worlds, Junior Division in 2025.
Okidogi: 230 HP and an attack that does 170 damage for 2 Energy are pretty good stats for a Basic 1-Prizer. Prism/Legacy Energy count as both Darkness for Okidogi's Ability and Fighting for its attack. Can also wall with Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex or Mimikyu. Got 2nd at Regional Frankfurt, Junior Division.
Festival Lead: Dipplin hits 2*100 for one Energy, provided you have a full Bench and Festival Grounds out. Any damage boost is also doubled, so Brave Bangle/Black Belt's Training are worth +60/80 damage total, not just +30/40. Supporting Dipplin is Thwackey, providing searches (for ANY card) every turn, and which can evolve into Rillaboom to beat Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex.
Team Rocket's Spidops + Mewtwo ex: Spidops hits several meta Pokémon for Weakness, and Mewtwo has very high HP and damage output for a Basic ex.
Team Rocket's Porygon-Z: Similar to Ethan's Typhlosion, but with worse damage scaling.
United Wings: The equivalent of XY's Night March, but unfortunately in a format without Double Colorless Energy or Battle Compressor (though Brilliant Blender is present), and higher HP on 2-Prizers all around.
These decks are combo-like: get Energy accelerator out, get attacker out, and you should be able to convert that into KOs turn after turn. These decks can feel like Raging Bolt ex in how they scale with the amount of Energy you have on board and how you discard said Energy to pump your attack.
Iron Thorns ex: The deck that won Worlds in 2024. Lost a lot of speed after Double Turbo Energy rotated and a bigger ex-immune Pokémon came into the picture (150 HP Crustle vs 70 HP Mimikyu, plus Canceling Cologne rotated), but still managed to get 15th at Regional Monterrey.
Decks that use attacks that discard the top cards of the opponent's deck, eventually winning by deck out.
Wugtrio: Use Ignition and Reversal Energy to meet the 3 Colorless cost on Undersea Tunnel. Note that an opposing Mew ex can copy that attack and give you a taste of your own medicine.
Great Tusk: Mill away all the opponent's Energy or counter Stadiums to Neutralization Zone, then loop Dudunsparce to ensure the opponent decks out first after they are unable to attack.
Decks that try to assemble one impossible-to-kill Pokémon with damage prevention, damage reduction, healing, and/or HP-boosting effects. Crustle would fall in this category.
Milotic ex + Farigiraf ex: Got 4th at Worlds, Junior Division.
Blissey ex: The deck that the 2024 World Champion played in 2025 (he finished 63rd).
Archaludon ex: Not to be confused with the Poison donk variant. This variant uses Archaludon ex as a tank, pairing it with Munkidori to keep it healthy. Some builds add Hero's Cape or Rigid Band for more staying power.
Pidgeot Control: Trap a liability or remove all the opponent's Energy and win by deck out. Some builds go for a tanking angle instead, using Garganacl (which can use Corner from Nacli via Relicanth to trap an opposing Pokémon) and Defiance Vest to neutralize the opponent's damage.
Feraligatr: Can wall with Milotic ex or Mimikyu, or trap a non-attacking Pokémon with Big Bite while Munkidori snipes their Bench. Won Champions League Fukuoka (SVI-JTG).
