The Joltik Box deck is one of the newest to emerge as a viable pick in the Pokémon TCG metagame. A deck which contains certain similarities to the Miraidon ex deck, the Joltik Box deck has made an immediate impact on the meta since its tournament debut in April 2025, with third-place finishes at the Milwaukee Regionals and Johannesburg Special Event as well as a seventh-place finish at the Monterrey Regionals.

Strategy

Unlike most other decks, the card that’s this deck’s centerpiece isn’t one of its main attackers. Instead, the Joltik card from Stellar Miracle [SV7] serves to power up the attackers by loading them up with Energy cards via its Jolting Charge attack. The deck’s three main attackers, which are typically the recipients of these Energy cards, are Miraidon ex from Violet ex [SV1V], Iron Hands ex from Future Flash [SV4M], and Pikachu ex from Super Electric Breaker [SV8].

This deck works best when the player goes second so that the player can use Jolting Charge on the first turn. It’s imperative that the player powers up the deck’s attackers as soon as possible due to the high Energy costs of their respective attacks.

Each of the deck’s three attackers is used to counter specific opponents. Miraidon ex works best against decks which are built around Basic Pokémon, including mirror matches. Iron Hands ex provides a strong matchup against decks built around Stage 2 Pokémon as well as single-Prize Pokémon. Finally, Pikachu ex is highly effective against decks built around Stage 1 Pokémon as well as high-HP Basics with more HP than what Miraidon ex would be able to comfortably handle.

Price

Buying all the cards in the Froslass/Munkidori deck costs a minimum of 12,170 JPY (~US$83).
