Pokemon TCG Pocketis always shifting and reinforcing the meta with every new expansion set that drops in-game. Every new expansion brings a range of cards such as general monsters, ex cards, viable ace Pokemon, and Supports, Items, and Tools to help implement various strategies. No matter if players are looking to go head-to-head in PvP matches or simply grind event challenges to pile up rewards, a strong deck composition can make all the difference.
Alcremie is a unique card that has found a viable spot in many deck builds, having been brought into the game through theEevee Grove expansion. Alcremie has a unique strategy involving stacking attack power depending on how many times you have used the move of its pre-evolution, Milcery, which makes it a rather fun and viable choice that can be put into play. If you’re looking to discover one of the best Alcremie deck builds, all relevant information, including a complete card list, has been outlined in the guide below.
Best Alcremie Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, Explained
The advantage of utilizing Alcremie in a deck build is from the unique Sweets Overload attack, which ramps up extra damage every time you have used the Sweets Relay move, available to Alcremie’s pre-evolution, Milcery. Players can get even more value out of this card by pairing it with Swirlix and Slurpuff, which both also utilize Sweets Relay, therefore adding to the buff that Alcremie can use with Sweets Overload in the late-game. Ideally, players will want to use their Swirlix/Slurpuff while they build up Alcremie on the bench, and then switch in as late as possible, whilst also playing safely enough to not lose too many points in the process, then deal massive damage with Sweets Overload for late-game wipes.
Most importantly, players will need to ensure that when building this deck, they edit it so thatthe deck utilizes Water-type Energy. While Swirlix, Slurpuff, Milcery, and Alcremie are all Psychic-type cards, their move requires ‘Colorless Energy’ to function, meaning players can equip any kind of Energy in that circumstance. The selection of Water Type as the deck Energy ties in with the use of Irida, which provides a much-needed healing buff at key moments, since both Alcremie and Slurpuff have lesser HP than other ace Pokemon, which tend to be ex-cards.
The remainder of the deck contains Supporter/Item cards to help reinforce this strategy, stall the opponent, and give more durability to Slurpuff and Alcremie. Giant Cape can be equipped to boost the HP a little bit, helping in these uphill battles in the early-to-mid game, or providing more of a buff for your big late-game sweep. X Speed helps assist with a switch from the Active Spot to help you avoid losing points through a knockout or to get Alcremie into play as soon as it is ready, and you have stacked up enough uses of Sweets Relay to really capitalize on this strategy.
BothSabrinaand Cyrus help stall your opponent’s strategy, assisting you by buying some time to get another use or two of Sweets Relay in and potentially even secure a knockout if you are clever with how you play these cards. If you need to scale your damage by evolving Swirlix or need to evolve Milcery on the bench in your next turn, Pokemon Communication can come in very handy for swapping out other Pokemon in your hand, as the deck only uses two different evolution lines and eight Pokemon cards in total (2x copies of each).
