The Paradox Drive Espeon card in Pokemon TCG Pocket is incredibly good as a central pillar of various Sleep decks, used with Darkrai to knock foes out and then have them take continous chip damage in the early game. This deck is a modification of the continously powerful Altaria deck build, one that focuses less on Altaria dependence, but still keeps it in reserve. For more details, here's everything you need to know about the best Espeon deck in Pokemon TCGP.

Best Espeon deck build in Pokemon TCGP
Yet another variant of the Altaria deck, the addition of Espeon from Paradox Drive makes it all the more focused on the initial sleep.

Energy: Psychic
Doubling down on the power of Sleep, Espeon's ability to put foes to sleep with a 1-energy attack means that you can potentially do 80 damage on your first turn (assuming that you also have both Darkrai cards out), as well as leaving them unable to react. That's a devastating opening play, and buys you plenty of time to set up Altaria before coming in with major damage later on.
We've reduced the number of Altaria cards on the board to 1, as Area Zero allows you to draw more frequently and the upped attack power in the early game balances it out.
- Pros
- Incredibly powerful early game
- Very good draw abilities
- Altaria ex remains as powerful as ever
- Cons
- Can be ruined by status immunity
- Low health pools in many cards
