From tournament result to your own deck

PocketMeta editorial · 2026-10-06

1. Choose a useful comparison

On Meta, compare share and adjusted win rate, then open a deck type. A popular deck gives you more examples to inspect; popularity does not guarantee the highest win rate. The analysis window ends at the latest included event and can lag behind today.

2. Inspect a real list

Open a representative tournament deck and check its date, placement and W/L/D record. Compare complete recorded variations. For example, Lucario A2-92 supports Fighting damage, while a different Lucario print may not have that ability. A matching name alone is not a safe replacement rule.

3. Copy, edit and check

Choose Copy to Builder. The builder loads the recorded list for editing. Keep the deck at 20 cards and follow the validation messages about card copies, evolution and Energy. Try one deliberate change at a time and remember what role the removed card served.

4. Save or import

Save on this device stores a local browser copy; it is not the same as an account backup. Import to Pocket prepares the supported deck-share QR after validation. Check the game’s import result and your owned cards. Generating a QR does not prove the game accepted it.

5. Read results without overclaiming

10W / 10L / 1D means 50% raw win rate here: 10 ÷ (10 + 10). The draw is shown but excluded from that denominator. A partner used in 30% of this card’s decks versus 10% overall has 3× co-use lift; that is an association, not a threefold increase in winning.
