In a groundbreaking community poll conducted by IGN, featuring over 1,000 Pokemon TCG Pocket players, Charizard ex has emerged as the undisputed champion of the current meta, securing an impressive 20.8% of total votes. This powerful Stage 2 Pokemon has revolutionized the competitive landscape with its devastating Crimson Storm attack.
Charizard ex: The Meta King
What makes Charizard ex particularly formidable is its synergistic relationship with Moltres ex. The combination enables players to accelerate energy attachment through Moltres ex's unique coin-flip mechanic, potentially adding multiple fire energy cards to benched Pokemon. This strategy perfectly complements Charizard's evolution line, allowing players to build up resources while avoiding the drawback of Crimson Storm's energy discard requirement.
Mewtwo ex: The Close Contender
Hot on Charizard's heels, Mewtwo ex secured 20.1% of votes, establishing itself as a formidable alternative in the current meta. Unlike its fire-breathing rival, Mewtwo ex offers immediate impact as a Basic Pokemon, making it an excellent opening play. Its strategic depth comes from its partnership with Gardevoir, whose Psy Shadow ability provides crucial energy acceleration.
Rising Stars and Meta Shifts
Pikachu ex claimed third place with 17% of votes, while Starmie ex secured fourth position. Both cards have gained popularity for their efficient energy-to-damage ratios, enabling quick offensive pressure. The poll also highlighted several support cards, including Misty (7.3%), Professor's Research (5.2%), and the surprisingly competitive non-ex Dragonite (4.1%).
