Decklists and analysis
 |
| Beedrill-EX gave Alex Hill an answer to Garbotoxin. |
Meanwhile, Kevin Baxter and Sam Chen debuted an unusual Xerneas BREAK deck, with Baxter taking it into Day 2 and finishing 14th. The deck used the promo Snorlax-GX card, making Baxter the first player to make Day 2 with a GX Pokemon in his deck. Chen also became the first player to use a GX attack on stream, flipping over his GX counter for a massive Pulverizing Pancake GX, much to the appeal of the audience.
Trivia
- The M Gardevoir-EX STS matchup is generally considered a terrible one for M Mewtwo-EX, but Mewtwo player Igor Costa was actually able to take town a Gardevoir (Connor Finton) in Top 4!
