Because of the lack of restrictions in Unlimited, decks can use combinations of cards which are not legal in Standard or 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 {{TCG|Archetype|decks}} being either "donk" decks focused on winning by KOing your opponent's only Pokémon in play, "lock" decks focused on preventing the opponent from taking meaningful actions | Because of the lack of restrictions in Unlimited, decks can use combinations of cards which are not legal in Standard or Expanded format play.
