Update (30/09/2024): Scoop-up net has been banned, so I added Scoop up Cyclone.

So, my first Pokémon deck was an eeveelutions deck: https://pokemoncard.io/deck/eeveelutions-gx-52825

But it's not that powerful anymore because it uses GX eeveelutions. But since they started printing eeeveelutions V, I HAD to build a new deck.

The strategy remains the same. Check your opponent's Pokémon for weaknesses and go after them.

Let me start with the 'odd' inclusions. Ditto V (Shiny Vault) is back

Update (30/09/2024): Scoop-up net has been banned, so I added Scoop up Cyclone.

So, my first Pokémon deck was an eeveelutions deck: https://pokemoncard.io/deck/eeveelutions-gx-52825

But it's not that powerful anymore because it uses GX eeveelutions. But since they started printing eeeveelutions V, I HAD to build a new deck.

The strategy remains the same. Check your opponent's Pokémon for weaknesses and go after them.

Let me start with the 'odd' inclusions. Ditto V (Shiny Vault) is back again doing the same thing. If you lost a V Pokémon early in the game you can retrieve it with Ditto. It also allows you to use a second eeveelution for Leafeon and Glaceon. 

Now you ask me. Why is Galarian Zigzagoon (Shiny Vault) in the deck? The answer is synergy...

Jolteon VMAX (SWSH Black Star Promos) is the best attacker against single prize decks. With goon, you can hit two targets at once.

Vaporeon VMAX (SWSH Black Star Promos) can hit for 200 if you goon your opponent's active. 

Then just scoop it with Scoop Up Net (Rebel Clash) and you can do it again.

As a tanky option, use Glaceon VMAX (Evolving Skies) and Glaceon VSTAR (SWSH Black Star Promos) .

We play only 2 copies of Boss's Orders (Brilliant Stars) because we have extra copies on Umbreon VMAX (Evolving Skies) (which is also an awesome attacker against psychich Pokémon) and Leafeon VSTAR (SWSH Black Star Promos) V-Star power.

Vaporeon VMAX (SWSH Black Star Promos) can also bring both Glaceon evolutions to the bench and we can accelerate water energy with Melony (Astral Radiance Trainer Gallery). (Water energy can be discarded with a little cool synergy between Capacious Bucket (Rebel Clash) and Quick Ball (Sword & Shield)).

If you're playing first, you have the option to accelerate Grass energy (hence 2 copies) with Leafeon V (Evolving Skies) or getting an item (ball, bucket, incense, etc.) with Sylveon V (Evolving Skies).

And speaking of energy, Rapid Strike Energy (Battle Styles) can be used with Sylveon and Vaporeon. Elemental Badge (Evolving Skies) will help Vaporeon (was well as Jolteon) attack easily, while Ribbon Badge (Evolving Skies) will reduce the amount of prizes your opponents will get (just in case you wanna sacrifice Sylveon for a second item).

 

Overall, the deck plays well. Having the option of several different types is more powerful than it seems. Having Ditto is a backup can help a lot and once again, it doesn't matter if you win or lose... everybody will love to see so many eeveelutions played in a single deck.

PS: You may be wondering why Flareon V (SWSH Black Star Promos)'s evolution line isn't here. The answer is because Flareon VMAX (SWSH Black Star Promos) needs a lot of energy to perform well, so having them here would be more of liability than a strength. That said, just like a father can't choose between his kids, I couldn't leave my boy Flareon without a home, so I created a special warm place for it:  https://pokemoncard.io/deck/flareon-s-burning-dream-52844
