This week’s biggest event, Ursiiday’s Pocket Weekly #33, just wrapped up—and with another big turnout, it delivered our latest snapshot of the Eevee Grove meta as it settles in. The format is already evolving fast, with new top contenders emerging and old favorites forced to adapt.

As always, we’ll break down the most played decks, look at what actually converted to Top Cut, and talk about what it all means for Ranked. Whether you're grinding for Master Ball or just keeping up with the latest trends, this report has you covered. Let’s dive in!

Deck Distribution

This week marked a drastic shift from last week’s results, with A3b-034 A1-089 remaining firmly on top but much of the rest of the field either disappearing or seeing heavy reductions. As usual, the transition from Week 1 to Week 2 has brought one of the most transformative shifts we typically see in new metas, with players quickly adapting and new Sylveon builds rising to prominence.

A3b-034 A1-089 once again claims the number-one spot, this time with nearly double the second place. What stands out most is the incredible presence of A3a-061 A3-066 in second. Note that this combines both double-Oricorio lists and single-Oricorio variants, with the double-Oricorio builds making up the larger share.

A2b-010 A3b-034 took over in third, completely replacing last week’s Silvally variant in that slot. If you’ve been playing Ranked lately, you’ve likely faced this build yourself—it’s clearly establishing itself as a top-tier choice.

The new A3b-009 A2a-010 deck made a big splash in fourth place, showing off a flexible approach that can stand up to much of the field. A2b-035 A2-110 slipped out of the top three but remains solid in fifth, confirming it’s still one of the format’s most reliable options.

Meanwhile, A3a-006 remains a top-cut staple alongside A3a-043, even as decks like A2a-047, A3-122, and A2-089 round out the field. The overall meta leans heavily toward Oricorio variants this week, signaling a clear and growing effort to counter the top decks.

Top 64

• Compared to Week 1, the Top 64 results show some clear shifts in the meta. A3b-034 A1-089 has surged from an already strong ~19% conversion rate to over 31%, cementing itself as the deck to beat with consistent, explosive finishes. Meanwhile, A3a-061 A3-066—previously leading with around 25%—dropped to about 17%. This is still strong, but it’s not as a clear cut counter against Sylveon builds. A2b-035 A2-110 also slipped from ~17–18% down to just over 9%, showing that players may have adapted to its more predictable lines. A3a-006, which sat around 11% in Week 1, struggled even more in this cut, dipping to just 3% as Fire-focused counters and evolving tech made it less reliable. Some archetypes like A2b-010 A3b-034 and A3b-009 A2a-010 stayed steady near 7–8%, while others like A3b-009 A3-037 fell dramatically to just over 1%, suggesting that early enthusiasm didn’t always translate to consistent top cuts.
• Surprisingly, A3a-061 A2-089 is still doing decently with a 6% conversion rate, holding on well despite how long the deck has been a fixture at the top.
• Overall, this shift highlights how quickly players adapt, with A3b-034 A1-089 establishing itself as the clear frontrunner while older staples are forced to adjust or risk falling behind.

Top 4 Decks

Tournament	First Place	Second Place	Third Place	Fourth Place
Ursiiday Weekly #32	Sylveon ex Greninja	Silvally Oricorio	Darkrai ex Giratina ex	Greninja Oricorio

• The Top 4 this week is more varied than we've seen in many of our past meta reports—even up through the Top 8, the results highlight a truly diverse field.
• First place went to A3b-034 A1-089, further proving just how dominant this deck is right now. It’s likely the best choice in the format, winning for the second consecutive week and showcasing both consistency and explosive potential.
• Second place was claimed by A3a-061 A3-066, underlining that A3-066 is absolutely a top card to prepare for. It acts as a strong check against the biggest EX threats, keeping decks like A2b-010 from completely overrunning the field. This build had to navigate matchups against A2b-010 A3b-034, A2b-035 A2-110, A3b-009 A2a-010, A3a-043, and other A3-066 variants.
• Third place was taken by A2-110 A2b-035, which put up an impressive run by winning 3 out of 5 matchups against A3b-034 A1-089, with the remaining one ending in a Top 64 tie. It also faced three A3a-061 A3-066 builds and even a A1-089 A3-066. This run was particularly impressive given it exploited the fact that many Oricorio lists skipped A3-151, relying only on A2-148.
• Fourth place went to A1-089 A3-066, which teched in a single A3b-034 for added consistency. It earned its spot by defeating three A2-110 A2b-035 builds and even taking down A3a-061 A2-089 in the Top 64.

Sylveon ex Greninja – 1st Place

For the second week in a row, A3b-034 A1-089 claims the top spot. The difference now is that many players are cutting classic consistency cards like Pokémon Communication or Iono in favor of doubling down on hand disruption, adding Mars into the mix. It’s a smart adaptation, especially given how much of the field is Sylveon-based decks—A2b-010 A3b-034 in particular is the key target to disrupt early.

This was actually the first deck we featured a full guide on, so if you’re looking to pick it up yourself, you can check it out there.

Silvally Oricorio - 2nd Place

A3a-061 A3-066 has firmly established itself as one of the top decks, delivering a strong conversion rate and a second-place finish this week. We've had it ranked highly in the tier list for a while now thanks to its consistent top cuts despite having a smaller meta share, but now it’s finally getting the recognition—and results—it deserves.

The lists themselves are still evolving: the second-place build ran 2 A3-066 but only 1 Zeraora, relying on Dawn to transfer the single energy it needs. The 7th-place list stuck with 2 Zeraora, while the Top 24 featured versions with only 1 A3-066. Clearly the most “optimal” numbers are still up for debate, but so far 2 A3-066 is showing more consistent success.

---

Giratina Darkrai – 3rd Place

A2b-035 A2-110 continues to prove its staying power across metas. This particular version skipped the A3a-042 package entirely, taking advantage of the fact that many Oricorio-focused decks—and the meta overall—are cutting Guzma. Dropping A3a-042 made the deck more consistent at finding basics early, and it clearly paid off with another strong finish.

---

Greninja Oricorio – 4th Place

Fourth place went to A1-089 A3-066, giving us another Oricorio variant in the top cut. A3-066 is definitely proving to be one of the most important cards in the format. This build is especially strong for tournaments because of its flexibility in energy choices. By default it’s running Water and Lightning, but against certain matchups you can simply skip the Lightning and slot in Water and Psychic instead. That kind of adaptability is a huge advantage in competitive settings, even if it does raise some tough questions about energy advantage on tournaments.

Best Decks for Ranked

With a drastic shift from last week, a lot of lists this time around are brand new, with many players doubling down on A3b-034 as arguably the best card in Eevee Grove right now. It’s so versatile that even a single line can be potent, and it’s showing up everywhere.

---

Sylveon ex Greninja

Leading the pack is A3b-034 A1-089, posting an impressive 31% conversion rate. It’s clearly the strongest deck in the format at the moment. What makes it so potent is that it’s not only the most popular pick but also one of the few top decks that can reliably handle A3-066 variants head-on. If you're simply looking for the best-performing deck, this is it. It’s also one of the more technically demanding decks to pilot optimally, so be sure to check out the full guide if you’re looking to master it.

Silvally Oricorio

A3-066 is absolutely at its peak right now thanks to the sheer number of EX decks dominating the meta, and A3a-061 has been one of its best partners for some time. This tournament just reinforced how well it can keep those big EX decks, especially the A2b-010 pairings, in check.

Gameplan breakdown:

Going first: Open with A3a-021, use its Ability plus manual attach, and with help from A2-154, swing with A3a-061 or A3-066 by Turn 2.

Going second: Start with A3a-060, evolve into A3a-061, and swing for 100 damage on Turn 2 with any Supporter.

Charizard Sylveon ex

This is actually the main reason players are running A3-066. Although it didn’t make the Top 4, A2b-010 A3b-034 still secured a Top 9 finish in the tournament. This deck absolutely dominates almost every matchup that isn’t running A3-066, which is why so many players bring Oricorio specifically to counter it.

That dynamic is a bit different in the wilds of Ranked, where Oricorio is less common—making Charizard Sylveon an even bigger threat there. Keep in mind, though, this deck has answers to Oricorio too, thanks to the non-EX A3b-008 tech. It’s not a guaranteed win for Oricorio users, especially if they don’t run double A3-066 plus a mandatory A1-225. The moment we deal with the first Oricorio, the plan is to just switch the second one.

The gameplan runs on Fire Energy only, with the goal of evolving A2b-010 as quickly as possible. You’ll use Eevee and A3b-034 to draw cards and dig for Charizard ex pieces, letting Charizard ex use Stoke to ramp Energy and set up Steam Artillery. The non-EX A3b-008 is teched specifically for beating Oricorio.

Check out the guide if you want to learn more about how the deck works in detail.

Darkrai ex Giratina ex

A2-110 A2b-035 remains one of the format’s staple decks. With so many Oricorio variants dropping A3-151 lately, skipping the A3a-042 package is a viable choice that improves consistency. Instead, lists can lean into Rocky Helmet and Darkrai’s Ability to chip away at Oricorio-heavy builds.

You can also run four Tools and even A3-146 for extra pressure. Feel free to adjust between the classic Nihilego build or a streamlined list depending on what you expect to face.

Leafeon ex Flareon ex Sylveon ex

A2a-010 A3b-009 A3b-034 is a deck that really emerged this week, showing solid, balanced matchups across much of the field. A3b-009 offers huge damage output, while non-EX Leafeon is specifically teched to deal with A3-066 decks.

It does struggle heavily against A2b-010 A3b-034, so if you’re running into a lot of those on ladder, it might be better to pass on this one for now. Still, it’s one of the stronger decks you can bring to Ranked, with the flexibility to adapt to a wide variety of matchups.

We recently made a guide on this deck too, since it has a few nuances you’ll want to understand, so check that out if you’re interested.

Magnezone Sylveon

The Sylveon version of the deck is now overtaking the Shiinotic variant in popularity, so we’re highlighting this build for now. Including A3-066 makes it competitive against the rising number of EX-heavy lists.

The core idea remains the same: use A3b-034 to draw aggressively and search out your Magnezone pieces. You’ll be running Psychic and Electric Energy—though Magnezone doesn’t strictly need Psychic because A1-098 can handle that for you.

You’ll evolve from A2-051 into A1-098, then into A2-053, which fuels itself with Lightning Energy. Once powered up, A2-053 can take over the game, rarely running out of Energy unless it’s KO’d. It also runs A3-066 to stay competitive against EX matchups, which are rising in popularity even as Oricorio itself is seeing a slight decline.

Silvally Rampardos

A3a-061 A2-089 continues to reach new levels of consistency, with win rates rising again this week. This is largely thanks to the surge in A3-066 decks. Silvally Rampardos is one of the best counters to Oricorio-heavy lists, as it runs no EX attackers itself and preys on the matchup.

That said, the mirror against Silvally Oricorio often comes down to which player goes second, since Silvally itself dictates the early tempo of that match. Going second is key, especially with support from A2-154, which can make the deck even faster.

For a full breakdown of how the deck plays, check out this guide.

Guzzlord ex Nihilego

Even though its numbers have dipped slightly, A3a-043 A3a-042 remains one of the best decks you can run thanks to its positive matchup against A2b-010. The steady poison damage wears down Charizard, setting up easy knockouts with Guzzlord, while the Grindcore build punishes it by stripping Energy—often forcing Charizard to waste a turn using Stoke again.

Check out the guide for more details on how to pilot this classic poison strategy.

Garchomp ex Rampardos Sylveon ex

A2a-047 A2-089 A3b-034 is a bit of an oddball pick but has carved out a niche for itself, especially with all the new Sylveon lists emerging. It focuses on dominating the early game with strong pressure and punishing decks that get slow starts.

It also holds its own against Oricorio builds thanks to Rampardos, while trying to overpower Eevee setups and Silvally decks in head-to-head matchups. We recently published a guide for it as well if you want to dig in further.

Luxray Oricorio

A2-060 A3-066 is a newer twist on the Oricorio archetype that deserves mention thanks to its strong win rates recently. Time will tell if it holds momentum as the meta continues to evolve, but it's off to a promising start.

Unlike some Oricorio lists, this version uses Luxray as its main attacker. It doesn’t rely on Electrical Cord for acceleration; instead, it leans on Zeraora as its starter to set up Energy, with Volkner support helping ensure smooth early turns.

Buzzwole

A3a-006 remains a very solid pick overall, especially because of how well it handles Oricorio-based decks. The main drawback is its extremely tough matchup into A2b-010 A3b-034, which is hard to avoid given how popular Charizard Sylveon has become.

Ultimately, whether Buzzwole is the right choice comes down to what you’re expecting to face most in Ranked. It can still be a strong call in the right meta, and the guide linked above goes deeper into its matchups and strategy.

Final Thoughts

Eevee Grove’s meta is evolving quickly, and this week’s results show just how adaptable players can be. Sylveon ex remains the clear frontrunner, but there’s real depth behind it, with strong answers like Oricorio builds and creative tech choices keeping things interesting. If you’re preparing for Ranked, now’s the time to refine your matchups and pick a deck that can handle Sylveon while still holding its own against the wider field.

Good luck, and see you at Masterball!
