The 2017 Pokémon TCG Play! Pokémon season is in full swing, and the first International Championships in London, England, is on the horizon. Players will be coming in from every corner of the world, eager to earn major Championship Points on their way to the 2017 Pokémon World Championships in Anaheim, California, next August.

We've seen a lot of different strategies find success at Regional Championships and other events, and now we've seen some clear patterns for what decks to expect in Standard, the format that will be used in London. Remember that you can watch matches streaming live all weekend long at Pokemon.com/Live.

New promo cards from special collections have also made an impact on some decks. Let's take a look at the top strategic decks heading into the European Internationals, including how recent cards have affected these decks.
