Best Pokemon TCG Pocket Tyranitar (Wisdom of Sea and Sky) deck guide: Strategy breakdown

1) Tyranitar

HP: 160
Ability: Energy Plunder - Once per turn, move all Darkness Energy from your Pokemon onto Tyranitar.
Move: Buster Tail
Move damage: 130
Move cost: 3 Darkness, 1 Colorless

Tyranitar acts as your late-game sweeper, hoarding Energy with its Ability (Energy Plunder) to deliver massive damage with Buster Tail. The goal is to build your board with Darkness Energy across early attackers, then consolidate it all onto Tyranitar late-game finishes.

2) Naganadel & Nihilego

Naganadel (HP 100): Uses Electro House to deal 40 damage and inflict Poison for just one Dark Energy, perfect for early aggression and pressure.
Nihilego (HP 70): Stacks Poison damage by 10 with its More Poison Ability and chips in with New Wave (30 damage for 2 Energy that also poisons).

These Ultra Beasts pressure your opponent early while building up Energy. Once they fall, Lusamine lets you recycle two discarded Energy directly back into play, maintaining your setup for Tyranitar.
