Because of the lack of restrictions in Unlimited, decks can use combinations of cards which are not legal in {{TCG|Standard format}} or {{TCG|Expanded format}} play. Cards such as {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Porygon2|49}} and {{TCG ID|Triumphant|Seeker|88}} which never appeared in the same Standard format, are [[Porydonk_(TCG)|frequently used together]]. Despite the large variety of cards available, only a few strategies make up what is generally considered the highest "tier" in Unlimited play, with most competitive decks being either "donk" decks focused on winning by removing all of the opponent's Pokémon from play, or "lock" decks focused on preventing the opponent from using attacks, abilities, and/or Trainer cards.
