Learn the best way to use an Unfezant Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
While Unfezant is the main card of this combination, it is enabled by its Basic Pokemon Pidove. The version of this tiny bird from Temporal Forces can evolve immediately into its Stage 2 form, Unfezant, if the right conditions are met. Alongside certain other cards, Unfezant from Temporal Forces presents an alternate form of control in the Pokemon TCG meta.
Pokemon TCG Best Unfezant Deck Guide Overview
The plan is to bring in Pidove in such a manner that it will immediately take damage and evolve into Unfezant. The rest of the deck is meant to force your opponent into an inability to do anything successfully, either by discarding energy, taking chip damage on performing an action, or being forced to mill cards.

How To Play This Best Unfezant Deck in Pokemon TCG
Ideal Starting Hand
You will want Pidove and Calamitous Snowy Mountain in your opening hand, as you will immediately be able to get an Unfezant in play. Having a Reversal Energy is also useful, as you will immediately be able to use Unfezant’s move Opposing Winds.
Best Unfezant Deck in Pokemon TCG: Key Cards
Here’s the strategy for this deck:
- Pidove should be played when the Stadium card Calamitous Snowy Mountain is in play. This Stadium card will damage any non-Water-type Pokemon when an Energy is attached to them.
- Attaching a Reversal Energy to Pidove will deal 20 damage to it, dropping its HP to 30 and activating its ability Emergency Evolution. This will let Unfezant arrive on the playing field and use its move Opposing Winds, which forces the Defending Pokemon to send two of its attached Energy back to the opponent’s hand.
- Eri and Hand Trimmer will help discard cards from the opponent’s hand, while Crushing Hammer has a chance to discard any attached Energy.

Best Matchups
Energy-intensive decks like Toedscruel Ogerpon can struggle if they are forced to re-attach Energy manually, as this will slow them down.

Best Unfezant Deck Guide in Pokemon TCG: Tip
Something to consider while using this deck
- Play Skowvet right before using Hand Trimmer to avoid having to discard any cards from your hand.
- Plusle and Minun help in dealing chip damage as Minun’s ability Buddy Pulse will cause the opponent’s Pokemon to take 20 damage whenever an Energy is attached. Spiky Energy similarly discourages attacking your Pokemon.
