I 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:finally pulled Darkrai ex in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon TCG Pocket. I used my tried-and-tested pack method of getting 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:my daughter to open my packs for me, and she pulled th🐠e beautiful alt art version. She didn’t understand why I was so excited – nꩲearly 200 packs of Space-Time Smackdown and no Darkrai was sending me west – and complained that there wasn’t a Pikachu or Snorlax in there, but I quickly got to work.

It’s the nature of RNG that a second 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Darkrai ex followed shortly after, and I set to ꦬwork building a deck. Darkrai and Weavile had caught my attention as soon as the new set dropped, so I started there.

Playing The Meta

Darkrai looks into a bedroom from outside a window. Inside the Darkrai ex and Magnezone cards are centered.

But I didn’t get on with it. Sure, Weavile ex only needs one Darkness energy to do as much as 70 damage (90 with a🙈 weakness on the opposing side), but the whole deck wasn’t consistent enough. I co💎uldn’t draw the cards I needed at the right time. I shifted the Trainers around, I tweaked and I tinkered, but no dice.

Other people were having suc💙cess with the deck, but it just wasn’t working for me. So I went Full Meta. Darkrai ex and Magnezone. I’m not proud.

Wait a minute. This wasn’t really working either. Sure, sometimes I pulled o🦩ut a win through sheer attrition, but it wasn’t consistent. I won about 50 percent 🧜of my matches, which is nothing compared to the devastating alchemy of my favourite Weezing/Scolipede combination.

Again, I tweaked, but nothing seemed to sit right. Finding success w♛ith a deck often entails a lot of practice, but I gave each of these a fair shake, and they just didn’t do it for me in the even♛t matches. Perhaps they’re better in tournament scenarios than a random leaderboard? Perhaps they’re overrated? Perhaps they’re just not for me?

Pokemon TCG Pocket Electivire And Magneton Deck

The Electivire promo card, from the Cresselia ex Drop Event.

The most important thing I took from my Darkrai ex experiments was that I didn’t find the deck fun. The constant plink, plink of Darkrai ex taking down your opponents 20HP at a time just didn’t appeal to me – and that’s c🍎oming from a Weezing player.

So I decided to 🍷go off-meta. I love Lightning-types, so I’d build around them. There’s got to be a way to utilise Magnezone in an all-Electric deck, right? Right.

🐼Okay, you caught me. Using Magnezone isn’t exactly off-meta. Magneton’s Volt Charge ability is really good right now, and some of the very best decks in the game use it. But I haven’t seen many people use it in conjunction with Electivire. Here’s my list:

  • 2x Electabuzz (I use the A2 version with Charge)
  • 2x Electivire
  • 2x Magnemite
  • 2x Magneton (make sure this is the Genetic Apex version with Volt Charge)
  • 2x Magnezone
  • 2x Poke Ball
  • 2x Pokemon Communication
  • 2x Professor’s Research
  • 2x Lt. Surge
  • 1x Volkner
  • 1x Sabrina

Everything here revolves around my trusty Electivire, Hugh. The idea is to set him up as fast as possible to deal 120 damage a𝓀 turn. If he goes down, I should be able to set up my second Electivire, HughTwo, even quicker. However, I’ve made a few bold calls in order to do this.

He’s called Hugh because I made a typo in the deck n♐ame ‘High Voltage’.

Most Lightning decks find Volkner more important than Lt Surge. I disagree. While it’s handy to grab two energy from your discard pile, Surge can pull four (or more) energy off your bench to buff Electabuzz and pull a surprise attack. With Magneton generatin✅g energy so quickly and the potential to have two on yo🐬ur bench, you can set up an Electivire in a single turn. People don’t expect it, so they get overconfident, leave their precious ex cards in, and generally misplay.

A single V🧜olkner is handy for the la༺te game, don’t get me wrong, this 2:1 ratio of Surges to Volkners works best. Every other card barring Sabrina is vital, so there’s no room for any of the fun new Pokemon Tools, but I don’t think any would seriously impact this deck. You’re meant to hit hard, get knocked out, and set up again immediately to take the win.

A Gio🐲vanni would be nice, as that would a🍌llow Electivire to one-hit KO Palkia from full health, but a little chip damage from Magnemite would achieve the same result.

This isn’t a deck that never bricks, but also sometimes the stars align a๊nd you can have four energy on your Electivire by your second turn. This is a deck about speed and support, and it’s the most fun way to play Pokemon Pocket.
