The bell rings on turn three and the opponent’s bench looks harmless. You tap Flower Trick and, in a heartbeat, three Prize cards swing toward you. That moment—when a single card redraws the scoreboard—changes everything.
I watched a ranked match where one bench snipe won the game — Best Pokemon TCG Pocket Meowscarada EX Deck (Paldean Wonders Set)
I’ve been testing Meowscarada EX on the Pokemon TCG Pocket ladder, and I’ll tell you what I tell my students: you don’t outplay this deck, you out-plan it. Meowscarada EX is a sniper in the tall grass. If you want a deck that rewards tight reads and surgical targets, you and I should talk about cards, lines, and the small misreads that cost matches.

Meowscarada EX arrives in the Paldean Wonders set and is a Stage 2 you can either evolve into from Floragato or drop on Sprigatito with Rare Candy. Play it carefully: Flower Trick is the deck’s clock and its threat profile depends on your opponent’s bench composition.
At playtesting I always ask: which target scores the most points? — Pokemon TCG Pocket Meowscarada EX Deck Strategy
Short turns, smart targets. The deck’s win condition is simple: pressure the opponent’s bench until they can’t field safe evolutions. This deck is a coiled spring ready to snap when your reads line up with your draws.
Here’s how I guide you through an average game plan:
- Early turns: Mull for basics. Chingling shuts down Item-heavy counters. Sprigatito and Poké Ball find your evolution line.
- Mid game: Evolve with Rare Candy, protect your board with Teal Mask Ogerpon on the bench, and use Leaf Cape as surgical HP buffer.
- End game: Pick the bench spots that deny your opponent their biggest prize swings—heavy-evolution targets like Buneary that can become Mega Lopunny EX are priority snaps.
Counterpicks: watch for Fire decks—Mega Charizard Y EX and Mega Blaziken EX put pressure on your Grass typing; adapt with techs and careful prize management. Use Arven to bias draws toward Items or Tools when you need them, and CopyCat to chain dead draws into usable turns.
Is Meowscarada EX worth getting in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
Short answer: yes, if your playstyle prefers timing and disruption over brute-force damage. The value comes from repeatable threats—Flower Trick pressures multiple spots and forces your opponent into suboptimal plays.
Is Meowscarada EX a rare card in Pokemon TCG Pocket?
Yes. As a chase EX from the Paldean Wonders set, it sits high on many collectors’ and players’ lists. If you’re hunting on marketplace platforms or in-game packs, treat availability like a rotating meta item: popular, valuable, and sometimes thinly stocked.
What are the key cards in the Meowscarada EX deck?
Meowscarada EX, Sprigatito, Rare Candy, Poké Ball, Professor’s Research, Arven, Chingling, and Teal Mask Ogerpon form the backbone. If those pieces are intact, the deck’s lines become predictable and powerful—play those pieces, and you’ll win more matches than not.
I watch streams and keep a short checklist before every match — Final adjustments and where to practice
Practice on Pokemon TCG Pocket, watch match replays on YouTube and Twitch, and test tech swaps against the current ladder meta. Tools like the in-game trade hubs and secondary marketplaces (TCGPlayer, eBay) will shape your access to singles and give you price signals for swaps.
One small note on economy: budget for a few packs or singles—booster packs (~$4.00 ≈ €4) are cheap insurance for wild draws, while buying a single Meowscarada EX may be faster if you want immediate practice on ladder.
