About BoltBeam
BoltBeam is an unofficial fan-made companion for the Tiered Battle solo mode in Pokémon TCG Pocket. Each battle carries several missions, each mission clears in its own game, and each one wants something different from your deck. BoltBeam works out which decks you need for a given battle, and how few.

Deck accuracy is not guaranteed. Every list here is validated for legality — 20 cards, at most two copies, complete evolution lines, payable attack costs — but decks are not play-tested, so no win rate is claimed for any of them.
Where the data comes from
- Bulbapedia and Serebii — battle rosters, mission wording, and opposing decklists, cross-checked against each other.
- Limitless TCG — the card database, ranked tournament decklists, and the NOEX format (tournament lists with no Pokémon ex). Deck links open in their Deck Builder.
No card images are hosted here. Decks are text — card name, set code, and number — and the visual is delegated to the Limitless Deck Builder by link.
How a plan is built
Each mission is reduced to a machine-checkable constraint: a set-card quota, a mono-type deck, no Pokémon ex, no Stadium cards, a knockout with a given type, a damage threshold. Candidate decks — real tournament lists where one fits, purpose-built lists where none does — are checked against every constraint, and the plan for a battle is the smallest set of decks that covers all of its missions.
Two constraints are deliberately not claimed as solved: winning without conceding a point, and winning by a given turn. Those depend on how you play, not what you bring, so they are shown alongside the deck rather than treated as satisfied by it.
What's here now
Hard and Expert tiers across eight expansions. Easy and Normal ask for 2 set cards, which almost any deck already meets, so they add little. Collection import — best decks built from the cards you actually own — is the next step and is not shipped yet.
