Mega Sharpedo ex in Pokemon TCG Pocket has been a rising star for its rapid energy generation and strong early game, designed to disrupt enemy strategies while speeding up your own in the same attack. For this reason Sharpedo has been hanging around the meta for a while, but it's only now that we've seen it rise to previously unmatched levels when paired with the Wild Swing Gyarados and ever-reliable Chien-Pao.

Best Mega Sharpedo ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP
To make the best Sharpedo deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket, use the following build:
- Magikarp (Wisdom of Sea and Sky) x2
- Gyarados (Wisdom of Sea and Sky) x2
- Carvanha (Ruler of the Skies) x2
- Mega Sharpedo ex x2
- Chien Pao x1
- Mantyke x2
- Poke Ball x1
- Copycat x1
- Lisia x2
- Professor's Research x2
- Training Area x1
- Wallace x2
Energy: Water
This deck is all about quick deployment and building up to Stage 1 ASAP, using Lisia to draw both Carvanha and Magikarp and get them on the field, then using Wallace or card draws to evolve them. Once that's set up, you use Sharpedo to come out as your early assault, disrupting your opponents, at the same time building up for Gyarados to do up to 140 damage with its Wild Swing attack.
Not only that, but Wild Swing can be used to discard damaged Pokemon that might otherwise be a weak point. If Sharpedo is badly hurt, you can deny your opponent the Cyrus-drawn victory by having Gyarados send it to the discard pile.
- Pros
- Incredibly disruptive early game
- Chien-Pao remains incredibly strong
- Solid energy generation across the board
- Cons
- Electric decks are a common weakness
- Gyarados can only really be used for major damage twice at most
