Archaludon ex //PARADISE DRAGONA (v3.4)

THIS DECK IS BROKEN! 🤖🤖🤖

Made some minor adjustments in this list, hope you like them!

Duraludon from Stellar Miracle hits 80+10 for each damage counter on this pokémon for 3 energies; Relicanth enables Archaludon ex to use this attack if ever needed, so that you can 1HKO things with up to "370 HP", or at least force your opponent to play around this threat, which should be really annoying. Archaludon from Stellar Miracle hits 160 for 3 energies and has an ability that gives free retreat cost

THIS DECK IS BROKEN! 🤖🤖🤖

Made some minor adjustments in this list, hope you like them!

Duraludon from Stellar Miracle hits 80+10 for each damage counter on this pokémon for 3 energies; Relicanth enables Archaludon ex to use this attack if ever needed, so that you can 1HKO things with up to "370 HP", or at least force your opponent to play around this threat, which should be really annoying. Archaludon from Stellar Miracle hits 160 for 3 energies and has an ability that gives free retreat cost to your pokémon that have a metal energy attached. Archaludon ex can 1HKO almost any basic V in the format, plus any kind of basic ex "engine" pokémon [Fezandipiti ex, Tealmask Ogerpon ex, Peacharunt ex, etc.], and can tank up to 350 damage with Full Metal Lab and Rigid Band. It's also worth noting that it can get rid of it's fire weakness, but this isn't relevant in the current meta besides some few obvious exceptions. Still, the "selling point" of this card is it's ability, one of the best "autoacceleration" options printed in this format, besides Charizard ex. It's ability could also be used to accelerate energy into the two other "cards up your sleeve" of this deck, Revavroom ex and Zamazenta-V. The Revavroom line really comes in handy here, giving you access to a perfectly sinergistic draw engine in baby Revavroom [which can discard extra energies for Archaludon ex to work with] and a scary Pidgeot-ex/Lugia-VSTAR/Palkia-VSTAR counter in the form of Revavroom ex; you can also accelerate energy into a Varoom and than use Revavroom ex' second attack to 1HKO a Raging Bolt ex or Okidogi ex, switching into a single-prizer or a full HP Archaludon ex. Zamazenta-V is your "Rotom-V" of choice here, with the pros of being able to discard energies, being more beefy [reaching the 250 virtual HP mark with Full Metal Lab], and also being an "ok" attacker once your opponent has taken 4 prizes or more. Against Iron Thorns ex, you could try to slow down the game until you can set up at least 2 Archaludon ex in a single turn, using your Canceling Cologne. This item also helps against Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex, which could be countered with Revavroom ex too. Your answer against Mimikyus are your Duraludons. Finally, Vitality Band might help fix some maths, specially against 230 HP ex basics.

The overall idea of this deck is to aim at low HP double-prizers with Boss and Catchers, while tanking as many hits as possible with the help of Turo's Scenario and Archaludon's free retreat cost ability. I have really high hopes for Archaludon ex, it's pretty funny and opens a ton of deck building possibilities. I know it really has a lot of competitive potential.

Hope you liked this deckbuild around the new Archaludon ex, and that you're as excited for it as I am! I'm totally sold into this card, lol. 🤣
