Pokemon TCG Pocket: Best Typhlosion deck guide

Typhlosion decks can be quite a threat in Pokemon TCG Pocket. The Fire starter from the Johto region has a powerful ability called Fire Breath.

Additionally, by teaming it up with Heatmor from the same expansion, that card deals more damage as a result of Typhlosion dealing burns.

In this article, we will look at the best way to use a Typhlosion deck in the current Pokemon TCG Pocket meta.
