Best Metal Type Decks Tier List

Deck Tier List Criteria

	The best decks are in the S tier, which are decks that have amazing consistency on top of being easy to build and function with minimal difficulty.
	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 Decks are decent, but would require more skill to achieve success with.
	C Tier consists of the game's Rogue Decks. These are great for countering specific threats but required skilled pilots to succeed with.

Probopass ex Deck	• Probopass ex is easily set up by Dialga ex. • Can be difficult to KO thanks to its Attack and Adaman.
Yanmega ex Deck	• Yanmega can easily be added to decks since its attack doesn't require any specific type of Energy. • Dialga ex is an amazing Energy Accelerator providing two energies while dishing out damage.

C Tier

Deck	Explanation
Dialga ex and Bastiodon Deck	• Dialga ex can effectively power up Pokemon with Colorless or Metal Attack costs. • Bastiodon becomes immensely difficult to KO once it is set up.

Card Tier List Criteria

	The best cards are in the S tier, which are cards that will always be impactful whenever they are played. These are cards that must always be answered or else they will take over a game.
	A Tier cards are cards that are also powerful but do not necessarily centralize a game when they are on the field.
	B Tier cards are less impactful but are still worth using in a deck.
	C Tier cards are good but may have better alternatives available.
