Archaludon ex (BB & WF)

An interesting deck that lost play after Rotation but can still do decently well.

Strategy: I'd suggest going second with this deck. Anyways, on your First Turn, try getting out 1-2 Duraludon's, 1 Munkidori (Completely optional), Squawkabilly ex, and any other Pokémon you want to get out. Anyways, on this turn, your goal is to get your Metal Energy into your Discard Pile, which you have many ways to do that, such as Ultra Ball, Earthen Vessel, Professor's Research or Carmine, and Squawkabilly ex's

An interesting deck that lost play after Rotation but can still do decently well.

Strategy: I'd suggest going second with this deck. Anyways, on your First Turn, try getting out 1-2 Duraludon's, 1 Munkidori (Completely optional), Squawkabilly ex, and any other Pokémon you want to get out. Anyways, on this turn, your goal is to get your Metal Energy into your Discard Pile, which you have many ways to do that, such as Ultra Ball, Earthen Vessel, Professor's Research or Carmine, and Squawkabilly ex's Ability, Squawk and Seize. Pokégear helps you find your Supporter Cards that you need, and Carmine is here incase you're going First. You should also try and keep at least 1 Metal Energy in hand and at least 2 Metal Energy in the Discard Pile so you can attach a Metal Energy to your Duraludon/Archaludon ex and to use Assemble Alloy to attach the Energies onto Archaludon ex to start swinging with Metal Defender.  Hero's Cape, the ACE SPEC of choice, makes Archaludon ex much tankier by making its total HP go up to 400, and it's even tankier due to Munkidori's Ability, Adrena-Brain to move some Damage off of Archaludon in order to take easier KO's, and if you survive a Heavy Hit, which is likely, and Relicanth is in play, you can deal insane damage with Duraludon's Raging Hammer Attack. Iron Bundle provides you Early Game and sometimes Endgame gust which is really helpful at times. Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex helps as an Endgame Attacker and can help you win the game by taking the remaining prizes you need to win, and Zamazenta is here as a Single Prize Backup Attacker, which can potentially KO your Opponent's Active Pokémon or to deal High Damage to them for the damage taken on Zamazenta. Team Rocket's Venture Bomb forces damage onto your Opponent's Pokémon, if you flip Tails, use Munkidori's Adrena-Brain to move it onto their Pokémon. Pokémon League Headquarters helps against Big Basic Decks or to prevent things like Budew's Itchy Pollen or Cleffa's Grasping Draw by forcing them to need an Energy Attachment to use those Attacks, or to use 2 Energies to use TM: Evolution. Black Belt's Training allows Archaludon ex to deal 40 more Damage to ex Pokémon which is really helpful. That concludes the strategy section, so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

CTC: The cards that I'd suggest to add into this list as an alternative will be sorted into a list with a brief description, if there are any cards here or any cards of your own ideas/thoughts, cut out cards from this list that you don't find needed, with that being said, here is the list:

- 4th Duraludon - More consistency and gives you more Duraludon's to use throughout the game.

- 4th Archaludon ex - Provides more consistency.

- 1-1 Scizor Line - Gives another Single Prize Attacker.

- 1 Genesect ex - Gives you a way to find your Evolution Metal Pokémon, though using Ultra Ball is better in this deck as you can discard Metal Energy with it.

- Scoop Up Cyclone - Resets an Archaludon ex but Hero's Cape feels much better in this current format.

- 1-2 Air Balloon's - Gives your Pokémon Free Retreat.

That concludes all the cards I could suggest, so feel free to do whatever you wish with this deck and have a good day!
