Pokémon TCG Pocket has a wide array of cards to use in deck building, but some remain more powerful than others, and Fire decks are a popular approach when opting for the best decks in the game.
Fire Pokémon have long been fan-favourites in the Pokémon franchise, which naturally extends to Pokémon TCG Pocket, with the likes of Charizard, Flareon, Entei, Moltres, and more firmly established as iconic figures.
If you’re looking to build a Fire Deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket and want to ensure you’re building the best one possible, Insider Gaming has a full build guide.
Best Fire Deck in Pokémon TCG Pocket
The best Fire-Type Decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket revolve around Mega Charizard Y, which debuted in the Crimson Blaze expansion, with Entei ex or Moltres ex standing as the best headliners to partner it with.
Entei ex has the edge over Moltres as a crucial member of the supporting card of Mega Charizard Y, with the Legendary Pulse ability allowing you to draw a card at the end of your turn if it is in the Active Spot.

On top of this, it has a decent attack, while the likes of Charmeleon are decent additions to the deck, as it’s Ignition ability allows you to put more Energy onto your Active Pokémon when you use it to evolve a Pokémon.
Finally, the likes of Lillie, which heals 60 damage from a Stage 2 Pokémon, Flame Patch, which adds a Fire Energy from your discard pile to your active Pokémon, and Protective Poncho, which protects a Benched Pokémon from all damage done from opponent’s attacks and Abilities, round off this strong deck.

Mega Charizard Y ex Pokémon TCG Pocket Deck Strategy Guide
Mega Charizard Y ex’s Crimson Dive attack has the ability to one-hit-KO every Pokémon in the game, though the downside is the recoil damage it takes.
Bringing Mega Charizard Y ex into the fold as quickly as possible is the priority, using the likes of Charmelon, Flame Patch, and Entei ex to accelerate the Energy onto your Active Pokémon.

The likes of Professor’s Research, May, and Copycat can help to bring extra cards to your hand, if you’re missing what you need to push forward, and having Entei ex as your Active Pokémon while you gather energy onto the Charmander or Charmeleon you’re planning to eventually evolve into Mega Charizard Y ex.
Beware of Pom-Pom Oricorio, which is an effective counter to Mega Charizard Y ex, and decks centred around Magnezone and Greninja can be quicker to establish into their main strategy.
