Deck Primer

This is the my take on Armarouge

First and foremost I have to give credit to Chef Husky from YouTube for suggesting the enriching energy engine, the inclusion of Magearna as well as overall improving the consistency of the deck making this build have godlike setups at times. I'll link his video.

This is the my take on Armarouge

The general idea is to set up Emboar asap and then charge up Armarouge's attack while also healing it with Magearna's ability. Armarouge isn't simply hitting hard, even hard enough to OHKO Charizard, but it's ability combined with the rigid band, effectively giving it 370 HP make it impossible for most decks to OHKO it. So when Armarouge gets hit you can use Hilda to find a jet energy for Magearna using it to heal Armarouge and more importantly recovering it's ability. Fortunately for us most decks that employ cards such as Munkidori or Hawlucha to break the ability will not hit hard enough afterwards to take out Armerouge anyway (e.g. Dragapult). When they do manage to take Armarouge out you can quickly get the next one going using superior energy retrieval and Emboar's ability.

Sometimes it takes a while for the deck to get started but if you even just get an Armarouge standing it usually buys you enough time to set up and turn the tables on the opponent. Enjoy!
