Best Pokemon TCG Pocket Meganium deck guide: Strategy breakdown

1) Meganium

• HP: 150
• Move - Bloomshine - Deals 80 damage and provides all your Benched cards with 20 heals
• Move Energy Cost: 2 Grass, 1 Colorless

Meganium is the backbone of this deck. While 80 damage might seem moderate, its healing ability applies across your board each turn. Its decently bulky HP also helps it stay on the field longer. The only downside to Meganium is the energy requirement and the fact that it has to go through two evolutions.

2) Shuckle ex

• HP: 120
• Ability: Solid Shell - Reduces damage taken by 20
• Move: Triple Slap - Flip 3 coins; does 20 damage per heads
• Move Energy Cost: 1 Grass

Shuckle ex serves as a durable wall in the early game. It’s not there to deal significant damage but stall while you prepare Meganium on the Bench. Thanks to Solid Shell, Shuckle ex can endure several hits, buying time without draining your energy pool, since it only needs 1 Grass Energy to attack. This allows you to focus on energizing Meganium.

• Erika: Heals 50 HP to one of your Grass Pokemon.
• Lillie: Restores 60 HP to any of your Stage 2 Pokemon, Meganium in this case.
• Leaf Cape: Adds +30 HP to the attached Grass Pokemon.
• Rare Candy: Speeds up evolution by letting you jump straight from Chikorita to Meganium, skipping Bayleef.
• Professor’s Research: Draw 2 cards to keep your hand active and consistent.
• Poke Ball: Pulls one Basic Pokemon.
• Lyra: Let's you swap your damaged Active Pokemon with a Benched card. Use it to rotate between two Meganiums, so one can heal the other on the bench.

This Meganium deck is ideal for players who enjoy slow-burning control tactics, healing loops, and outlasting opponents rather than brute force. It's especially effective against chip-damage-focused decks and benefits greatly from proper timing and resource management.
