Miraidon ex Magnezone Breaks Double Digits in Pocket
Miraidon ex Magnezone breaks into double digits in Pokémon Pocket as Mega Lucario ex popularity also went up.
Pocket's top deck is getting even more usage. Miraidon ex Magnezone reached 10.1% usage for the week ending July 13, up from 7.6%, and it is the only archetype in double digits across the data we've seen. Tracked across 3,442 decks from 40 online tournaments on Play Limitless, it has now climbed three weeks straight (5.8% to 7.6% to 10.1%), the closest thing Pocket has to a settled trend right now.
Behind it, the field did a lot of reshuffling. Suicune ex Baxcalibur rebounded to 7.2% (+3.7) to reclaim second, and the week's single biggest riser was Mega Lucario ex Lucario, up from 1.7% to 6.0% (+4.3) and into third. That is specifically the Lucario-partnered build. The solo Mega Lucario ex archetype actually dipped over the same stretch, so the jump is a real move toward that pairing. Indeedee ex Giratina ex also broke into the upper tier, up to 3.1% from 0.7%.
The decks giving up that ground were last week's top ones. Greninja Mega Sableye ex, second a week ago, fell to 4.5% (−3.0), and Mega Gardevoir ex Mega Diancie ex dropped from 4.8% to 1.6% (−3.2). Both had spiked the previous week.
| Deck | Last week | This week | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mega Lucario ex Lucario | 1.7% | 6.0% | +4.3 |
| Suicune ex Baxcalibur | 3.5% | 7.2% | +3.7 |
| Miraidon ex Magnezone | 7.6% | 10.1% | +2.5 |
| Indeedee ex Giratina ex | 0.7% | 3.1% | +2.4 |
| Mega Sceptile ex Greninja | 6.7% | 5.0% | −1.7 |
| Greninja Mega Sableye ex | 7.5% | 4.5% | −3.0 |
| Mega Gardevoir ex Mega Diancie ex | 4.8% | 1.6% | −3.2 |
Keep in mind this is usage share, not win rates. It tracks what players are bringing, not what is winning. And Pocket is moving fast: the top ten looked very different two weeks ago, so treat most of these as one-week swings in a churning format. The exception is Miraidon ex Magnezone, whose climb is now three weeks deep. The big question is whether anything can stop it from running away with the top spot.
