Learn the best way to use a Hop’s Corviknight Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
While Hop’s Zacian ex is the most common card to build a deck around, Hop’s Corviknight is a nice single-Prize alternative. Its second move, Steel Wing, does around 150 damage—relatively paltry by modern standards—but lets it take 60 less damage from the opponent’s move on the next turn in return. With Hop’s Choice Band attached, Hop’s Corviknight can be a fun card to play with.

How To Play This Best Hop’s Corviknight Deck in Pokemon TCG
Ideal Starting Hand
If possible, you want to start with Hop’s Rookidee in your Active Spot and attach a Hop’s Choice Band to it to use Intimidating Stare at no cost. Alternatively, you could place Hop’s Rookidee and Beldum on your Bench and put Hop’s Snorlax in the Active Spot. After that, attaching a Technical Machine: Evolution to evolve them will give you access to a Corvisquire and a Metang on the next turn.
Best Hop’s Corviknight Deck in Pokemon TCG: Key Cards
Here’s the strategy for this deck:
- Hop’s Corviknight sets up and attacks with Steel Wing.
- Metang is there to use its ability to help attach Basic Metal Energy from your deck with its ability.
- Hop’s Choice Band reduces the amount of Energy needed while boosting the damage dealt by Hop’s Pokemon.
- This lets Hop’s Snorlax be more than a passive wall and a decent secondary attacker in its own right.
- Finally, the Stadium card Postwick applies a further damage boost for any Hop’s Pokemon in play.

Something to consider while using this deck
- Hop’s Cramorant remains a fickle attacker who can suddenly become deadly against your opponent for a turn. It can only attack when your opponent has 3 or 4 Prize cards left, but with a Hop’s Choice Band attached and Hop’s Snorlax and Postwick in play, it can deal 210 damage for one to two turns.
