Learn the best way to play a Joltik Toolbox deck as well as the complementary cards that enhance its performance.
Toolbox decks always have a place in the meta due to their capability to adapt and adjust. Joltik’s Toolbox is no different. While there are many other powerful cards in this deck, like Pikachu ex, Miraidon ex, and Iron Hands ex, the fact that it’s named after Joltik speaks volumes. These cards would be nowhere near as effective as they are without Joltik. So, let’s see why that’s the case.
Pokemon TCG Best Joltik Toolbox Deck Guide Overview
Joltik’s Toolbox operates on a simple theory: use Joltik’s move, Jolting Charge, to attach Energy to powerful Pokemon ex cards on the Bench, then swap them in and wreak havoc. As a result of working on such a simple attacking loop, this deck has the space to include almost every major supporting card in the game right now, from cleaners like Lillie’s Clefairy ex and Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex to utility cards like Fezendipiti ex and Mew ex.

How To Play this Best Joltik Toolbox Deck in Pokemon TCG

Getting Joltik early on is a godsend, especially if you also have a Bravery Charm. However, start with something like Mew ex in the Active Spot so that you can swap in Joltik multiple times to set up.

Water-type decks are definitely at a disadvantage. That being said, if this deck manages to set up fast, all opposing decks will struggle with its damage output.
Counters to Joltik Toolbox Deck in Pokemon TCG
Fighting-type decks have an advantage, especially if Galvantula doesn’t set up in time. That said, Cynthia’s Garchomp ex doesn’t let Galvantula get a boost from its ability, so it can one-shot with its first move.

Consider doing these things while playing with this deck:
- Latias ex on your Bench ensures that all the Basic Pokemon on your team (which is everyone except Galvantula) can switch around as much as they want.
- Similarly, take advantage of the lack of Stage 2 Pokemon in your deck by using the Stadium card Gravity Mountain to lower the opponent’s health.
- Finally, use Crispin to attach even more Energy to your Pokemon faster.
