F2P Guide: How to Play Without Spending

All Decks are Easy to Build

The F2P Decks featured here are designed for straightforward, aggressive play and are easy to build.

We’ll focus on decks that don’t require multiple rarity. Instead, we highlight ex Pokémon decks you can reliably obtain, either by rerolling for two copies or by securing them in your first pack.

Reroll Guide

Tier List Rankings Criteria

S The top tiers of this Tier List are Decks that can function with minimal ease for best results.
A Tier A Tier Decks are also powerful, and can also function at a high level, but may not be as easy to pilot as the S Tiers.
B Tier B Tier Decks are decent, but would require more skill to achieve success with.
C Tier C Tier consists of the game's Rogue Decks. These are great for countering specific threats but required skilled pilots to succeed with.
D Tier D Tier consists of F2P Friendly decks that are good on their own. These decks have specific niches in the metagame and are outclassed by decks in the higher tiers.

Consistency

Powerful decks are able to implement a strategy consistently and effectively. Its ability to be effective at all times is a consideration for a deck's placing on this list.

Energy efficiency and damage all contribute to a deck's overall consistency.

Flexibility

Facing off against specific deck archetypes would require you to strategize and modify strategies to suit different situations. A deck's ability to pivot to different options is considered for its tier list placing.
