Pokemon TCG Pocket: Best Miltank Deck Guide

Learn how to play the best Miltank deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket. This guide explains the strategy and decklist for you to utilize its potential.

Miltank is a colorless basic Pokemon introduced in the Secluded Springs expansion of Pokemon TCG Pocket. While this expansion has already given us the meta-defining Suicune ex, Miltank has emerged from the same set as a respectable single-point attacker. In this guide, we will look at the best ways you can use Miltank to succeed in ranked battles and other competitive aspects of the game.

Pokemon TCG Pocket Best Miltank Deck Guide Overview

Miltank’s main claim to fame is its move Rolling Frenzy. This move only needs a single Energy from any type to start attacking. While it only starts at 10 base power, with each consecutive use it gets a +30 damage boost. Unlike other similar attacks in TCG Pocket, these boosts stack.

The main issue with Miltank is that it does not deal a lot of damage early on. This deck pairs it with Darkrai ex, who can passively deal +20 damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon thanks to its ability Nightmare Aura. To facilitate this, this deck runs Darkness Energy.

Here’s the strategy for this deck:

• Miltank used Rolling Frenzy each turn, with the damage stacking each turn.
• Darkrai ex uses its ability Nightmare Aura to deal chip damage to the opponent’s Active Pokemon.
• Supporters like Whitney and Pokemon Center Lady help to keep Miltank healthy and free of status conditions.
• Other supporters like Leaf help to switch out either Miltank or Darkrai ex owing to their high Retreat Cost, while Cyrus and Sabrina help switch in a Pokemon from the opponent’s Bench.

Best Miltank Deck Guide in Pokemon TCG Pocket: Tips and Tricks

Something to consider while using this deck

• Whitney heals more than Pokemon Center Lady, but only cures Miltank from being Asleep, Paralyzed, or Confused.
• Be wary of your opponent trying to break your Miltank’s Rolling Frenzy chain by switching it out with Sabrina, Cyrus, or Repel.
• Once Darkrai ex has three Darkness energy attached, it can also be used as an attacker.

FAQs about Miltank Deck in Pokemon TCG Pocket

Are There Other Energy Options Instead of Darkness Energy?

Yes, you can use Water Energy, which will give you a third Supporter that can heal you with Irida. However, Darkrai ex cannot be used in this deck, making Miltank the only attacking option.

Why Not Use Mars or Iono Instead of Red Card?

While both supporters are viable choices, this deck already relies heavily on multiple supporters. This makes Mars or Iono less usable on a given turn.
