Best Pokémon Trading Card Game Decks – What is a Lost Box?

The name “Lost Box” comes from the use of the “Lost Zone” mechanic and is also a “toolbox” deck. This means that the game has cards that can be used to overcome various situations. What makes it one of the best Pokémon TCG decks is its ability to consume large amounts of resources while using incredibly powerful Pokémon.

This deck contains Pokemon and Trainers, both of which use Lost Zone, and is very versatile. So let's look at the deck list. We'll break down the specifics of this deck.

This decklist is the Giritina Lost Zone VSTAR list which was circulated during a very competitive match. This is also a simplified version of the original platform you get on TCG Live. A list of Pokemon TCG Live imports can be found in the deck list.

Lost Box – Lost Zone Synergy

First, let's look at the cards we will use for our first game plan of abusing Lost Zone. Lost Zones are essentially cards that have been removed from play. Our deck wants to hit different thresholds for the number of cards we have in the Lost Zone. These cards help us or are rewards for us to reach this threshold.

One of our main cards in this game is Comfey. This allows us to draw cards from our deck as well as fill the Lost Zone with cards. Next we have the big dogs themselves, Giritina V and VSTAR. Giritina V put cards in the lost zone and made a powerful attack. Giritina VSTAR is a 10 card reward in the lost zone with her VSTAR power. This power can take down any Pokemon, regardless of health.

Our replacement for Lost Zone fans is Sabre. Especially we want to use his Lost Mine move. If we have 10 additional cards in the lost zone, we deal 12 damage counters to the opposing Pokemon. This is a form of damage distribution that surrounds Manaphy. This can cause a very fast hit.

Finally, for Pokémon, we have Cramorant, which gives us a fast attacker with a power of 110. We will have four cards in the lost zone, so going for a free attack is not a bad option.

As for trainers, we have several that interact with the Lost Zone. Colress' experience digs up five cards for us, allowing us to keep the first three cards and release the other two. Mirage Gate allows us to use Giritina and Sableye energy quickly. This allows us to collect lost tokens and win prizes.

Lastly, we have a missing gap that could be filled with Pokemon cars in games or stadiums, even our own. It is possible to target your stadium, which can help you get enough cards in the lost zone to start your game plan.

Now let's look at our pile of tool cards. Radiant Greninja and Manaphy are the only other Pokemon in the deck that each offer their own benefits. One is used to draw cards and the other is used to protect against spreading damage.

For our coaches, the Battle VIP Pass is now a very powerful card that allows us to build a bench very quickly and can also serve as a snack in the Lost Zone after the first round.

Path to the Top is a great way to get rid of opposing Rule Box Pokemon with abilities like Raikou V. As mentioned, it can also be used in conjunction with Lost Vacuum to push you past your own ability threshold.

Finding cards is especially important for Roxanne as we may have to sacrifice some of our early game Pokemon like Comfy to get online. So Roxanne refills our opponents and gives us a nice resource boost.

Perhaps the two most important tools in this box are the Switch Cart and Jet Energy. These cards give you the ability to go through and complete several Comfeys in a row, give you very quick access to the Lost Zone boundary, or give you the last few cards to complete.

Missing Box Variation

As we mentioned at the start, there are some changes

Lost Box Variant 1 – Dragonite/Raikou/Kyogre/Hawlucha/Drapion

This deck variant rejects the Giritina build and uses Dragonite V, Raikou V or Kyogre and Hawlucha or Drapion V. This variant seems to build a full bench very quickly and then starts delivering big attacks with Raikou and Dragonite. and Drapion. It's also great for spreading damage to Kyogre and Hawlucha.

This is the most common deck variation you will see and seems to be the best way to play the deck.

The Lost Box 2 variant is Charizard EX

The second option we looked at for this deck is actually quite new. Rather than playing all those additional Pokemon, this option only has one Pokemon in mind for the high damage dealer: Charizard EX. Specifically, he uses the new Charizard EX from Obsidian Flames. Interestingly, this is not a complete development. Just play Charmander, Charizard and three rare candies to evolve. There are other ways to find these cards, including Ultra Ball and Raihan.

This deck wants to move quickly and do things quickly. We also looked at the copy of Beach Court that was on file to help us. This makes our Pokemon base smaller than colorless Pokemon, meaning we can easily turn Comfey on and off and potentially leave stronger Pokemon in our active slots at the end of the chain.

Best Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck – Pokémon 151 Supplement

Given the release of the new Pokémon Set 151, what additions from that set will impact this deck?

Right off the bat, a Charizard EX with 151 would really look good in the Charizard variant. We have the means to provide energy, and the means to increase it indefinitely. Also, it absorbs a huge amount of damage. It also has an advantage over Charizard Dark Obsidian Flame because when we face a grass type pokemon, we can deal very effective damage to it. This doesn't mean we will replace the Obsidian Flames version, but rather it will be separate.

Cards that can definitely be guaranteed also include Mew EX and Zapdos EX as support and attack Pokemon respectively. Additionally, Erika's Invitation is a very strong trainer card, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a few copies of it make it onto this list. Lastly, I noticed the addition of Cycling Path to the Dragonite/Raikou option because they wanted to use power card manipulation and this could help with the use of the board to draw additional cards.

And that's all you need to know about one of the best decks in the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Lost Box. This is a really fun and provocative deck, so give it a try!
