The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon Trading Card Game has a ton of products to get you eased into playing the game, and it's never been easier than in the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Scarlet & Violet era. The introduction of a line of three pre-constructed deck products in the ex Battle, Deluxe Battle, and League Battle decks have made jumping right in as simple n﷽o matꦓter your skill level.

The Deluxe Battle decks are quite strong, but they are lacking when compared to decks which have been competitively built. With just a few changes, you can easi✃ly make any Deluxe Battle deck super oppressive. The damage counter-obsessed Meowscarada ex Deluxe Battle deck iܫs one of the most fun and only requires minor upgrades.

This Battle Deck comes with a bunch of cards that are no longer tournament legal, and so we recommend taking those cards oꦕut first:

• Radiant Alakazam
• Gossifleur
• Eldegoss
• Klara
• Gapejaw Bog
• Escape Rope

10 Swap Sprigatito Cards 🐽

Which Basic You Choose Is Important

One thing that all deck builders must consider is the choice between what version of the Pokemon you use, as many of the Basics and Stage ones get multiple prints with varying attacks, HP amounts 🐠and even abilities. The Sprigatito included in the Deluxe Battle deck comes from Paldea Evolved and is useful, but there are others that you may want to use.

Sometimes, as little as 1🍷0 extra HP is all you need to keep a Basic safe on the Bench from attacks. By changing these Sprigatito to any of them that have 70 HP instead of 60, it helps keep them aliv💎e, but you do lose access to the Energy searching attack the one included has.

Which Sprigatito you include will depend on what you value more, as both the opꦇtions discussed have their uses.

9 ﷽ ꦕ Add An Ace Spec

Power That Every Deck Needs

Ace Specs are powerful cards that have some of the most game-changing effects and every deck should include one. There are two that work best for this deck and those are Grand Tree and Prime Catcher. The most commonly used Ace Spec is Prime Catcher, with nearly every deck running it due to its powe🐠rful gusting ability on an Item card. Gusting is powerful, but gusting on an Item is game-defining, and it synergizes well with Meowscarada ex's attack.

The Grand Tree, on the other hand, is a Stadium card which helps speed up your setu💃p. While in play, this Stadium allows you to evolve two Stages at once. When you evolve into a Stage one, you can then search your deck for the Stage two that it evolves into and evolve it right away. This means by going first you can have Meowscarada ex up and ready as early as turn two.

8 Add Adre🐻na-Brain Munkidori Or Cursed B🥀last Dusknoir

Even More Damage Counters

While it is very easy to get damage counters on the Bench with Meowscarada ex, the deck currently has no passive way of getting them onto the Active Pokemon. This is rough, as Meowscarada's attack, Scratching Nails, needs them on the opposing Pokemon to do more damage. Luckily, there are plenty of Pokemon that can do this through their own abilities, and the best for this deck are Munkidori and Dusknoir from the expansion 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Shrouded Fable.

Dusknoir is a risky Pokemon that has the ability Cursed Blast, which can put a whopping 13 damage counters on any one Pokemon at the cost of discarding itself and giving your foe a Prize Card. Munkidori is less risky, but it does require you to attach one Darkness-type Energy to 🅘make its Adrena-Brain ability work, in which it can move three damage counters from one of your Pokemon to one of your opponents.

7 🌼 Add Technical Machine: Evolution Or Technical Machine: Devolution

Evolving Your Strategy

Pokemon Tool cards come in many forms with tons of different powerful effects and some of the stronges💞t are the Technical Machines, which give your Pokemon new attacks. The most widely used of these are TM: Evolution and Devo🌄lution. TM: Evolution is able to help set up multiple Meowscarada ex at once for just one Colorless Energy by searching your deck for two Pokemon that evolve from your Benched Pokemon and evolving them instantly.

For the same cost, TM: Devolution does the opposite, making your opponent return each of their evolved Pokemon's highest Stage card back into their hand. This can be catastrophic for any deck, but when combined with Meowscarada's damage counter spread, it is ridiculously strong, especially if they used Rare Candy. Pokemon will go from havi𒐪ng massive HP pools as a Stage two back down to very small ones as a Basic.

6 Add Budew

The Strongest Pokemon In The TCG

One of the biggest meta shake-ups came crashing on into the scene in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Prismatic Evolutions, and it wasn't some big 🃏ex or a powerful Supporter, but instead this tiny little Budew card. Do not underestimate the power this card has behind that cute face, as Budew has been destroying many decks across the scene thanks to its attack.

Budew for zero Energy can do a devastating ten damage and lock your opponent out from using Item cards on their next turn. So many decks rely on se𝔉arching out cards in their deck using Items and, by locking them out, they will spend many turns struggling to do anything. This card will buy you time to set up and with this deck put more damage counters on benched Pokemon using Meowscarada ex.

5 🧔 Add Judge Or Ionဣo

Disruptive Supporters

Hꩵand disruption is a key part of any deck, but Meowscarada ex benefits from it even more than most due to wanting your opponent to have as little room to work around its offensive options. T🍌here are two great Supporter cards that are great at this, but both will also affect your hand.

Judge is a Supporter card that gets both players to shuffle their hands into their deck and draw four new cards. If you want to have a more lethal comeback effect, then Iono is the Supporter for you. Like Judge Iono forces 🌞both players to shuffle their hand into their deck but, each player꧃ draws cards equal to their number of Prize Cards remaining.

The deckജ comes with a few questionable Supporters, such as the four copies of Youngster which you should replace with Iono or Judge.

4 Add Bܫuddy-Buddy Poffin Or Bug Catchi🐼ng Set

Get Pokemon Into Play Faster

On first♒ impressions, this deck has one strength, and that is Pokemon draw. However, since the release of this deck, even better ones have been unleashed onto the scene. Buddy-Buddy Poffin is essentially a bett🅷er Nest Ball, being able to get two Basics from your deck rather than just one, as long as they have 70 HP or less.

Since this deck mainly uses Grass-type Pokemon you can also make use of the Bug Catching Set Item to accelerat🧜e both Grass-type Energy and Pokemon. When used, this Item allows you to look at the top seven cards of your deck and then put any Grass-type Energy or Pokemon you find there into your hand, which is very strong for any Grass deck, but especially so for Meowscarada ex.

3 ꦐ Add A Pidgeot ex Line Or Dudunsparce

Colorless Support

Every deck needs decent supportive Pokemon to help draw you what you need, but this Deluxe Battle deck lacks this pretty badly. So, how better to ꧙fix this than to add one of the most game-defining supports in Pidgeot ex from the Obsidian Flames expansion. This powerhouse has been in countless decks thanks to its Quick Search ability, allowing you to search your deck for any one card once per turn.

If you want something more interesting, you can get it with the included Dunsparce by evolving it. Find A Friend is a great opening attack that gets your Sprigatitos on the board easily, but Dunsparce may end up stuck in the Active after it has done its job and that's where the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Temporal Forces Dudunsparce co💖mes in. With its Run Away Draw ability, you get to draw three cards and shuffle it back into your deck ready to be drawn and used again.

2 🦩 Add Rare Candy And More Meowscarada ex Cards

More Tricks Inbound

One of the biggest issues with the base deck is how slow it can be to set up a single Meowscarada ex due to the lack of one key item that nearly every evolution-based deck runs, Rare Candy. This Item card allows you to skip the Stage one and go straight from a Basic to a Stage two. This is super powerful as it speeds up your s🌄etup and allows you to ru♛n less of the Stage one card.

The deck only comes with two Meowscarada ex but most decks tend to run the maximum four copies of their main attacker. Doing this helps Meowscarada ex to be able to scatter damage all over the board earlier, as iಌt makes it much more consistent to find it. This, combined with the Rare Candy, will allow you to deal with nearly anything as long as you include plenty of Grass-type Energy to make use of the ability.

1 Add Teal💎 Mask Oไgerpon ex

The Best Addition Any Grass-Type Deck Can Make

One thing that this Meowscarada ex deck lacks is supportive Benched Pokemon that synergizes with the Grass-type. Luckily, since the release of this deck, one of the best supportive Pokemon has been released, and conveniently, it is also a Grass-type. Teal Mask Ogerpon ex was released in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Twilight Masquerade and has been used in tons of decks since thanks to its powerful𒆙 ability and attack.

While at first the Teal Dance ability seemingly works against Meowscarada ex's, as both r൲equire Grass-type energy to be used, in the end it is a tool that this deck heavily benefits from.🐈 In dire situations, you just need to draw cards to find ways to deal with a threat and with Teal Mask Ogerpon you can do that with ease while also powering it up to attack.
