Joltdengo is the name of the deck used by Liao Fu Guan, the Senior Division champion at the 2025 Pokémon World Championships. It is one of the 2025 World Championship Decks released on June 19, 2026.
Each deck comes with a two-sided playmat/poster, an event booklet, a Pokémon Trading Card Game Live code card, and a special Worlds 2025 deck box, pin, and coin. The cards included in the deck are not the exact prints used by Liao, but are the most recent, lowest-rarity print with any Holofoil removed. The cards have a unique card back and Liao's signature, and in place of the set symbol and rarity, they have a note stating, "This card cannot be used in official tournaments."
Description
Packaging
It wasn’t surprising to see a deck featuring Gholdengo ex at the top tables—but Liao Fu Guan’s version takes it in an unexpected direction, using tiny powerhouse Joltik to flood the board with Energy and launching early attacks with Iron Hands ex and Pikachu ex while Gholdengo ex spends most of its time surfing in and out of the Active Spot to draw extra cards. And after your opponent takes some Knock Outs and your Energy ends up in the discard pile... well, that’s the perfect time to bust out the Superior Energy Retrieval. Time to Make It Rain!
