Is Dragapult ex STILL Tier S with Pitch Black?! Japan Results Say YES (and NO…)

What did well at the Pokemon TCG Japan Championships 2026 with Pitch Black cards legal? We see a new 1-prize deck at the top tables called Hide 'n' Seak. Using a Dhelmise in combination with Lillie's Clefairy ex to OHKO Dragapult ex for a single energy! Also Dragapult ex shows no signs of slowing down with 2 variants getting into the top 8. The winning deck was a Teal Mask Ogerpon ex and Lillie's Clefairy ex deck, pretty much a big basic box with Mega Kangaskhan ex as the draw engine. And then there's a surprise Slowking also making it in cut. Let's talk about these results and the impact on the meta game for the Pokemon TCG World Championships 2026 over in San Francisco!
