The decks I see a lot of online are-

  • psychic
  • grass
  • fire
  • dragon

Every once in a while I run into someone with an electric build or something out of the ordinary but psychic has been dominant.

I’ve really been enjoying playing a Dark type deck online. The type advantage really dismantles the psychic decks and has been strong enough with the cards I have available to put up a good fight against everything else. It’s really been fun trying to plan out and streamline over the last few days of playing.

What have you been playing and seeing?

    My favorite has been a Dragonite deck with two Weezing and Koga to essentially stall while I spend 4-5 turns evolving and energizing a Dragonite.

    The strongest deck I’ve found to play has been a double Pikachu ex, double Zapdos ex, pikachu > Raichu deck.

    Pikachu EX has really easy early game KOs, then I can use Surge to give Raichu to clean up or snipe an EX on the opponent’s side after Pikachu softens it for a quick kill.

      Both of those sound really interesting.

      That koga/weezing combo is really tanky, especially early in a match. The Pikachu deck sounds especially lethal too!

        Another one that I’ve been playing around with is a Serperior + Celebi EX deck.

        Celebi wants energy to do the coin flips with, similar to Zapdos EX, and Serperior makes it really easy to have 6-10 coin flips in the end game.

          Another one that I’ve been playing around with is a Serperior + Celebi EX deck.

          This is what I meant when I said plant decks in the OP. This seems to be a very common combo that commonly RNGs itself into oblivion lol.

              The only one I’ve seen is the one I’m running which is focused on Weezing/Nidoking. Weezing is either a stall or an attacker depending on what’s on the other side of the table and the draws. There’s still some tuning to be done with trainers and items. Koga is really handy for keeping steady damage going without being overwhelmed right away. If there’s one thing it struggles with it’s hard hitting KOs but it usually makes up for it by wearing down their front lines until they are protecting their ex pokemon instead of attacking with them.
