Paldea Evolved is here! annnnd BACK WITH ANOTHER BANNNGERRRRRR! Check out my other decks for more non-meta fun

First Chi-Yu Ex deck on this site and Deck of the Day Woo I'm on FIRE ;;;;;;)

As the title suggests!.. Chi-Yu EX & Skeleirge Ex are an awesome combo! My first fire deck. Pretty aggressive and needs to start combos by turn 2. 

Simple Ez deck to play with. Chi-Yu at 4, you can start with it first turn to start handing out your fire energies to your benched Pokemon supa fast! By turn

First Chi-Yu Ex deck on this site and Deck of the Day Woo I'm on FIRE ;;;;;;)

As the title suggests!.. Chi-Yu EX & Skeleirge Ex are an awesome combo! My first fire deck. Pretty aggressive and needs to start combos by turn 2. 

Simple Ez deck to play with. Chi-Yu at 4, you can start with it first turn to start handing out your fire energies to your benched Pokemon supa fast! By turn 2-3 you can already fill up your Pokemon with the necessary amount of energy needed for the duration of the match. Radiant Heatran(Radiant Charizard worked as well) for back up super nuke and Magma Basin to load up the damage counters.  The real trick here is getting Rare Candy and evolving ASAP. Prize Cards RNG is the real opponent here :( 

Update: Added Ponyta and Rapidash. With Rapidash, you can discard 1 Fire energy and boost damage by 30 for 1 turn, fun stuff! Since Chi-Yu can hand out the fire energy needed straight from the deck... You'll have useless fire energies in your hand which now can be used to boost damage and knock out early game 110hp 130hp 1 hit with Chi-Yu. Also will boost Skeledirge to 1 shot 280hp EX Pokemon. Sure, there is the Choice Belt Item to boost 30 damage but that's ONLY against V Pokemon. Magma Basin is useful in the long run to recycle those discarded energies. Oh man..the Prize Card taking Ponyta or Rapidash sucks tho. 

So far, I never lose to Lunatone (as long as a painful process that is zzz) so thats cool! Even beats Chein-Pao Ex(need to go first) if you are fast enough to energy up! but if you don't... GG. 

Cons: Need to Energy up fast, Evolve fast(the deck relies on the Skeledirge to one shot asap), can burn through energy too fast, and late game can be really tough. 

Prob could use better Supporters. Fewer Energies?  buuuut yeah, work in progress. 

Please, suggestions are welcome!! **TY FOR FEEDBACK! 

Enjoy!

Arven would be good for rare candy and ultraball

ElītShroom avatar

Great deck! I think a couple more copies of ultra ball could help out with more Pokémon search.

Neat Deck!  Maybe run radiant gren for added consistency?

ImpDredd avatar

ElītShroom true, just not sure what to switch out

F4nt45m I want to BUT I just really like Radiant Charizard ;3, has been the late game goat

I've been using something similar to this deck for the past 2 days, it's really powerful and really fun... when it works. Sometimes you get into a hard slump and can't any cards working it's really a bummer. But when it does work.... oh boy it's lethal. 

I like to use Armoruge though to move the fire energy around at will, it can get you out of a pinch.

Why not use Radiant Heatran (Astral Radiance)? The rest of your deck doesn't benefit from Magma Basin, and you could hit higher numbers with him late game than Radiant Charizard can dream of. Also, I think you should consider Infernape V (SWSH Black Star Promos) as a pivot and as a way to utilize Forest Seal Stone (Silver Tempest). Since you want to find the Forest Seal Stone, we can run Lumineon V (Brilliant Stars) to find Arven (Scarlet & Violet), which gives us a reason to run Cleansing Gloves (Brilliant Stars) and Panic Mask (Lost Origin) for Gardevoir ex decks. I think Miriam (Scarlet & Violet) may be better than Klara here, simply because we can draw with it. In order to consistently find your Skeledirge and draw with Bibarel, we need 4 copies of Ultra Ball, which we can add by removing some Nest Balls (I would run 2) and energy (I would run no more than 12). Lastly, I would at least replace your Judge with Iono; its a much better card.

MindTrickNick omggg Radiant Heatran sooo much better than Charizard, like you said, great interaction with Magma Basin. I really like the rest of your suggestions as well. I am def incorporating them into the deck.

HADESWOOD I started out using Armruge but quickly noticed I never had energy issues since Chi-Yu hands them out so quickly. Especially since everything cost 2 energy to use. BUT this makes the deck super rely on Chi-yu to do its thing.. like you said, boyy, if you don't start with that Chu-Yu... slump city and most likely, cannot come back 

HADESWOOD avatar

The new changes have been working pretty good. Iono is a much better card and Arven is a god send sometimes. I am still running Armdge tho, although energy isn't really an issue, sometimes it's nice to throw bibareal into the fray and dump 2 energy to retreat into skelli for a knockout can keep you safe against boss orders and esacape rope. Love this deck tho

Johnnyx avatar

I'd be inclined to drop the Falkner for another Arven just to limit the scramble for a rare candy

Mr. MEw avatar

I would replace one Chi-yu with another iono because it gives you more late game disruption options, and 4 copies of Chi-yu isnt really needed.

I think radiant zard is just better than Heatran because the Chi Yu is gonna have you down Prizes, due to being a Low HP 2 Prizer.

DragonMaster avatar

love the chi yu / skeliger combo.
