Deck Primer

Why does nobody talk about Arc/Ray anymore? 530 Damage. Attach 6 energy in a turn with Flaaffy & Rose. Not like you need to, but surely that's good for something.

3 energy + belt -> ohko vstar
4 energy -> ohko vmax

And 320hp with no weakness is pretty tanky. So you can ohko basically anything and tank a hit in return, and take another ko the next turn.

But surely all of these evolution pokemon make the deck slow and inconsistent. When you're able to power up an Arceus (which isn't that difficult),

Why does nobody talk about Arc/Ray anymore? 530 Damage. Attach 6 energy in a turn with Flaaffy & Rose. Not like you need to, but surely that's good for something.

And 320hp with no weakness is pretty tanky. So you can ohko basically anything and tank a hit in return, and take another ko the next turn.

But surely all of these evolution pokemon make the deck slow and inconsistent. When you're able to power up an Arceus (which isn't that difficult), it makes it so that you really only need your deck to be set up by turn 3-4 instead of turn 2-3 because Arceus gets your energy into play, improves consistency with the vstar power, and applies pressure with its attack. Essentially, if you get an Arceus in play, you're going to get set up.

I've had a lot of fun with the deck, I think it's pretty good, and I think more people should consider Arc/Ray as a good deck.

(You just need to ignore the bad Regi and Lost Box matchups) ;)
