Best Tinkaton ex Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, Explained
Tinkaton ex is a powerful ace Pokemon forMetal Type decks, largely due to its generous 170 HP and the impressive Terrific Thumping attack. This move deals a consistent 80 damage per turn, but with lucky coin flips, can dish out up to a whopping 160 damage per turn. That’s more than enough to knock out several notable ex cards in a single hit.
As Tinkaton is a big hitter at the cost of taking some time to set up (since it’s a 3-stage evolution), early-game offense can be applied throughSkarmory. Skarmory only needs one Energy to be equipped, and you’re able to buff this attack from 20 damage per turn to a very valuable 50 damage per turn with the use of theGiant Cape or Rocky HelmetPokemon Tools. This is enough to cause a lot of pressure in the early game and can knock out many first-stage Pokemon in one or two hits.
The rest of the deck is filled with Pokemon Tools, Items, and Supporter cards to assist in getting your cards into play whilst also disrupting the opponent as much as possible.Team Rocket Grunt,Sabrina, andCyruscan all be used to cleverly disrupt your opponent and set yourself up for an easy KO either with Skarmory or Tinkaton ex.Pokemon Communication, Professor’s Research,andPoke Ballcan assist in getting your ideal hand and key cards into play. Finally,Rocky HelmetandGiant Capecan be used to buff Skarmory in the early game or enhance Tinkaton ex in the mid-late game by enabling extra chip damage or buffing HP.
