| '''ZPST''' is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] [[Deck archetype (TCG)|deck archetype]] and is an acronym, with each letter representing one of the four main Pokémon used in the deck. These Pokémon are {{TCG ID|Black & White|Zekrom|47}}, {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Pachirisu|18}}, {{TCG ID|Unleashed|Shaymin|8}}, and {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}}.
| |
|
| |
| == Strategy ==
| |
| The main idea of the deck is to have Zekrom as the Active Pokémon, Pachirisu and Shaymin as Benched Pokémon, and three energy cards (two of which are [[Lightning Energy (TCG)|Lightning Energies]]) in the player's hand. Pachirisu's ''Self-Generation'' allows for two Lightning Energies to be attached to itself, and Shaymin's ''Celebration Wind'' allows the energy to be moved to Zekrom. Then, the player could simply attach a Lightning Energy to Zekrom normally, and this would give it the necessary amount to use its powerful '''Bolt Strike''' attack. Tornadus would replace Zekrom if it was unable to be placed as the Active Pokémon or if it faced a serious type disadvantage.

| |
| === Pokémon ===
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Black & White|Zekrom|47}} is the main attacker of this deck. With just three energies, it can deal 120 damage using '''Bolt Strike'''. Unfortunately, it deals 40 damage to itself. Once it has enough damage counters on itself, it can use its '''Outrage''' attack instead, which increases in power with each damage counter on itself.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Pachirisu|18}}'s Poké-Power, ''Self-Generation'', allows the player to instantly place two Lightning Energies on Pachirisu when it is moved from the player's hand to the Bench. Along with {{TCG ID|Unleashed|Shaymin|8}}, it helps Zekrom have enough energy to quickly use its '''Bolt Strike''' attack.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Unleashed|Shaymin|8}}'s Poké-Power, ''Celebration Wind'', allows the player to move Pachirisu's energy to Zekrom when Shaymin is moved from the player's hand to the Bench. Along with {{TCG ID|Call of Legends|Pachirisu|18}}, it helps Zekrom have enough energy to quickly use its '''Bolt Strike''' attack.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}} is the secondary attacker of this deck. It has a resistance to the {{tcg|Fighting}} type, and can deal 80 damage for three {{tcg|Colorless}} energy by using '''Hurricane'''.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Triumphant|Magby|41}} is mainly used to counter {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Gothitelle|47}}. By using '''Play with Fire''', it burns the Defending Pokémon for no energy and puts itself to sleep. Magby's ''Sweet Sleeping Face'' then protects Magby from any damage while it is Asleep. Being a [[Baby Pokémon]], it has a free retreat cost.
| |
| === Trainers and Supporters ===
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Black & White|Professor Juniper|101}} is a Supporter card that causes the player to discard their current hand and draw 7 cards.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Sage's Training|77}} is a Supporter card that allows the player to choose 2 cards from the first 5 cards in their deck.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Professor Oak's New Theory|101}} is a Supporter card that causes the player to shuffle their current hand into their deck and draw 6 cards.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokémon Collector|97}} is a Supporter card that lets the player search for any 3 Basic Pokémon in their deck and show them to the opponent. As all of the Pokémon in ZPST are Basic Pokémon, this can help with generating the requisite Pokémon for this deck archetype to work.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokégear 3.0|96}} is a Trainer card that allows the player to choose a Supporter card from the top 7 cards of their deck.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Eviolite|91}} is a Pokémon Tool card that reduces any damage taken from attacks by 20 if attached to a Basic Pokémon.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Rocky Helmet|94}} is a Pokémon Tool card. If the Active Pokémon has a Rocky Helmet attached to itself, it damages the opponent whenever it deals damage to the Active Pokémon by using an attack.
| |
| *{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Xtransceiver|96}} is an Item card that allows the player to search for any Supporter card in their deck, after flipping a coin and getting heads.

| == Possible tech cards ==
| |
|
| |
| The following cards are often used in ZPST in place of certain cards included in the above list.
| |
| * '''{{TCG ID|Black & White|Zoroark|71}}''' - Zoroark is often used because of {{tt|'''Foul Play'''|use one of the Defending Pokémon's attacks as the attack}}, which is helpful when dealing with powerful Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|Black & White|Reshiram|26}} and {{TCG ID|Triumphant|Magnezone|96}} Prime.
| |
| * '''{{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}}''' - Dual Ball can replace {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokémon Collector|97}}, as both cards let the player search for Basic Pokémon. While Dual Ball has a slightly inferior effect, Pokémon Collector is a {{TCG|Supporter card}}, and using Dual Ball instead would allow the player to use different Supporter card.
