Deck Primer

Although Tera Charizard ex fell off after Budew rose, this build plays it somewhat slowly do now Charizard ex can use take advantage of item-locking your opponent. Dudunsparce + Enriching Energy allows you to draw 7 cards which is insane. Though, an arguement can be made of Pidgeot ex being better along with Unfair Stamp or Trolley. Anyways, feel free to make changes or leave suggestions!

Edit #1: Removed a Charmander from 151 and Replaced it with a Charmander from OBF to one

Edit #1: Removed a Charmander from 151 and Replaced it with a Charmander from OBF to one shot Budew earlier on.

Edit #2: Removed a dusclops and charmeleon as suggested by @Lewis chai. They were removed for a nest ball and a tm: evo.

This is certainly an interesting list. Though, Charizard ex probably would be better with a Dragapult ex build or a Terapagos ex build as that's what is doing pretty well for Charizard in Japan as of now. Besides that this deck looks fun to play with.

Waffle Enthusiast Thank you for the feedback! Anyways, I'm aware Dragapult ex or Terapagos ex would most likely be better with Charizard though it's kind of funny to make your opponent see you draw that many cards in a turn.

LimeLemon Yeah it would be kinda funny as your opponent sees you draw like 10 cards in a turn (Enriching Energy + Two Dudunsparce's).

if you have 4 copies of Rare Candy (Sun & Moon) then you can run on one copy of dusclops / charmeleon 

LimeLemon avatar

Lewis chai That's probably a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion!
