Learn the best way to use an Ancient Box Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Ancient Box is a combination involving cards affiliated or related to ancient Paradox Pokemon. However, Ancient Box as a whole is a deck focused on using Roaring Moon and its move Vengeance Fletching, which becomes more powerful for each card designated as Ancient in the discard pile.
The plan for this deck is to discard as many Ancient cards as possible to power up Roaring Moon’s Vengeance Fletching. As such, this deck has plenty of discard and draw options for that purpose.

- Dudunsparce will help acquire more cards by acting as a draw engine thanks to its ability, Run Away Draw.
- Cards like Professor Sada’s Vitality, Earthen Vessel, and Explorer’s Guidance act as both useful draw engines as well as fodder to be discarded to power up Vengeance Fletching.

Best Ancient Box Deck Guide in Pokemon TCG: Tip
While it isn’t useful early on, Koraidon from Surging Sparks can act as a revenge killer if a Roaring Moon is taken out on the previous turn. This is because its move Unrelenting Onslaught deals 180 damage if an Ancient Pokemon attacked on the previous turn.
