Iron Valiant and Iron Crown in Pokemon TCG Pocket are in many ways the only viable Future focused deck to emerge from the Paradox Drive booster set expansion. Like many deck builds, this is a modification of the Mega Altaria ex build, but this one focuses on a more directly damage focused early game and overt aggression with some of the advantages that come with the Future tag. If that sounds appealing to you, here's how to make the ideal Iron Valiant and Iron Crown deck build in Pokemon TCGP.

The advantage this build has over the standard Altaria build that combines with Igglybuff is that it's a bit more flexible, if arguably slightly less effective than the Iggly/Darkrai combo at its peak. If you start with Crown in the active spot and Valiant on the bench, you can do real damage from turn 1, or just discourage the opponent from putting Pokemon down. Then, of course, it's simply a matter of holding out until Altaria can be ready to go for major damage.
- Pros
- Strong early game
- Flexible build and strategies
- Good durability
- Cons
