Hey guys, this is the first deck I've made on pokemoncard.io and I'm pretty happy with it, it placed me 7th in a league cup the other day.

A good idea for this deck is to go second so you can use Irida on your first

Hey guys, this is the first deck I've made on pokemoncard.io and I'm pretty happy with it, it placed me 7th in a league cup the other day.

A good idea for this deck is to go second so you can use Irida on your first turn to get you a rare candy and a baxcalibur and when paired with other cards like Nest Ball, Battle VIP Pass and Ultra Ball can get you a pretty good set up at the end of your first turn ideally with Chien Pao or Palkia V in the active and a Frigibax, Radiant Greninja and Chien Pao/Palkia V (depending on which one you didn't put in the active. The fundamentals of this deck is to get Chien Pao and Baxcalibur set up ASAP because with Chien Pao's Shivery Chill ability you can grab 2 basic water energies from your deck and immediately attach both of them to your pokemon or using Star Portal to get 3 energies from your discard and attaching them to your pokemon which powers up Hail Blade so much that if you discard all those 5 energy from your pokemon it can hit for a whopping 300 damage! Calamitous Snowy Mountain is a great card for dealing with your opponents pokemon that just slightly slip out of the reach of Palkia Vstar or Chien Pao because it deals 20 damage for each energy attachment to that pokemon, I've found this really useful early game when your opponent is still setting up their pokemon and I've used it a few times to KO a Zacian or Mew. Lost City is also a great stadium to prevent your opponent taking back their pokemon from the discard pile with the use of Klara or other trainer cards as it makes pokemon that get knocked out go straight to the lost zone. Lost Vacuum is also great lost zone based card as it lets you sacrifice one of the cards in your hand to the lost zone in order to put any stadium or pokemon tool card into the lost zone, which is good when dealing with cards like Collapsed Stadium or Artazon (that's if you've fully set up your bench though, otherwise I suggest capitalizing on the Artazon early game). Bibarel and Skwovet have great chemistry with each other if you've got a bad hand because you can use Skwovet's Nest Stash ability to put your hand onto the bottom of your deck and draw a card and if you combine that with Bibarel's Industrious Incisors which lets you draw until your hand has five cards, it's like having an infinite Professor's Research (without the 2 other cards though but with this deck the only cards you really need are energy to power Subspace Swell or Hail Blade). 

That's a basic overview of the deck. I found this really fun to play and I hope you do too. I'll probably start making more decks on this platform but until then I hope you try out my deck and have a ton of fun with it.
