Arceus Duraludon Anti Meta

This deck is based upon the current meta as of January, 2023.

Breakdown:

This deck is designed to run up against decks such as Lugia, Mew, Regis, and pretty much any deck that runs special energy. 

With Lugia being the king of the format, along with various runnerups such as lost box, regis, mew, palkia, and arceus decks. Almost all of these decks run special energy. Due to Skyscraper, Duraludon is immune to all pokemon with sepcial energy, which really hurts many decks, forcing them to shut down

This deck is based upon the current meta as of January, 2023.

Breakdown:

This deck is designed to run up against decks such as Lugia, Mew, Regis, and pretty much any deck that runs special energy. 

With Lugia being the king of the format, along with various runnerups such as lost box, regis, mew, palkia, and arceus decks. Almost all of these decks run special energy. Due to Skyscraper, Duraludon is immune to all pokemon with sepcial energy, which really hurts many decks, forcing them to shut down various engines for Path to the peak. Path to the Peak is very annoying as it shuts down the main defence for duraludon. The solution is running 4-5 stadiums with skyla being a perfect card to search for these stadiums at the right time. 

The deck runs Empoleon from Battle Styles to stall decks such as Regis, Lost box, or any one-prize deck while you set up play. Drapion is added for psycic weak decks such as Mew, or Shadow Rider. Also Big Parosol is added for imunity to Giratina VStar decks that can one shot any pokemon. Avery is for bench heavy decks to restrict damage from Palkia, Raikou, or any decks that rely on draw support from benches, like Bibaral, Inteleon, or Genesect. Colapsed stadium also offers as bench restrictions, which is an advantage on Duraludon's end. Mustard is used to put drualudon down quickly and be fully charged up on turn 2.
