Welcome to the world of competitive Pokemon TCG!

I'm here to help you explore Japan's City League meta.

Pick a format below to examine tier lists, trending cards, and tournament results.

About the Data

Scout aggregates results from Japan's City League tournaments (64-player events held daily across the country) to provide an early look at each format's competitive meta before sets release internationally. Active formats are refreshed daily.

Tier Methodology

Archetypes are assigned tiers based on meta share: S (15%+), A (8%+), B (3%+), C (1%+), and Rogue (under 1%). Weighted shares factor in placement finish -- winning decks are valued higher than raw counts.

Trends & Winning Edge

Trends compare card usage between the first and second half of each format's data window. The Winning Edge highlights cards that appear more often in 1st-place decks than the general field across S/A/B tier archetypes.

Tournament results sourced from LimitlessTCG. Champions League decklists from pokemon-card.com (official Japanese Pokemon TCG site). Scout is a fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Pokemon Company.
