Deck Primer

A deck inspired by the ex Start Decks from Japan, now based around Golisopod ex.

This deck only uses cards from SVI-PAR.

I would appreciate feedback and suggestions on improving the deck to fit with other ex Start Decks.

I like it, maybe 1-2 super rod? plus poliwrath feels too op for starter decks, maybe add a 3-2-1 line of it and then add some colorless pokemon

Starmie23 I decided against adding Super Rod to these decks since I want to keep Pokemon recovering at a minimum. As for Poliwrath, I would say it is a fine addition. The deck structure I use requires me to use a 3-2-2 line for a Stage 2 Pokemon unless it is an ex, which in that case it is 3-2-1. Requiring 3 energies for the big attack is a big investment in this format, so it's not too worrying. Plus that fact 250 is only happening 50% of the time and therefore is unreliable.
