Deck Primer

More Magma Basin focused than my previous iteration (pokemoncard.io/deck/radiant-heatran-90266). Guzma & Hala is crucial to this deck now. It provides Special Energy search and Stadium Search.

The main strategy is to load of your bench with Buddy-Buddy Poffin (Ditto {*} is crucial, followed by Solosis, and then Doduos, situationally), then you want to prepare to start powering up Radiant Heatran with Magma Basin and getting Reuniclus, Dodrio, and Froslass in play to start adding damage counters

The deck probably lacks consistently, but I'm not sure how to best deal with that. Turn 2 is hard to take a Knock Out, unless there is a lower HP pokemon available, but T3+ should have an abundance of damage counters. If your opponent is demented and is playing Alolan Raichu Spread (or any other spread), shut them down with Machoke, evolving from Ditto {*}. Anyways, if you have any suggestions or thoughts, please leave a comment!

Tangent The core of the deck doesn't work, because Froslass (Twilight Masquerade) doesn't work with Radiant Heatran (Astral Radiance), as he doesn't have an ability. Therefore, using Reuniclus (Black & White) is necessary, but also a stage 2 that requires more setup.

This is a meta deck that utilizes Radiant Heatran that got 17th at the Los Angeles Regionals. It is a standard deck, but using Arceus VSTAR (Brilliant Stars), you can bring fire energy into play along with Magma Basin (Brilliant Stars) onto your Radiant Heatran (Astral Radiance). Then, you are able to accelerate energy to any of the attackers you wish with Armarouge (Scarlet & Violet).

MindTrickNick I appreciate the advice, and I know that this deck isn't great, but I wanted to build a deck focused on Radiant Heatran rather than simply featuring because it would be fun. Froslass does work with Dodrio for spreading to Radiand Heatran with Reuniclus, if it gets set up. I'm not trying to build a new deck, I'm trying to streamline the one I have.
