Deck Primer

This is a unique deck with a pretty good winrate that utilizes Flying Pikachu VMAX's immunity basics alongside Porygon-Z's Downgrading Beam that is able to turn pokemon back into basics.

It's a good idea to at first focusing on getting an Arceus VSTAR into play so that you can use Starbirth. A good way to do this is with Porygon (Basic) who can allow you to reorder the top 4 cards of your deck. This can allow you to be more selective with what you are drawing. This also pairs well with Speed Energy

This is a unique deck with a pretty good winrate that utilizes Flying Pikachu VMAX's immunity basics alongside Porygon-Z's Downgrading Beam that is able to turn pokemon back into basics.

It's a good idea to at first focusing on getting an Arceus VSTAR into play so that you can use Starbirth. A good way to do this is with Porygon (Basic) who can allow you to reorder the top 4 cards of your deck. This can allow you to be more selective with what you are drawing. This also pairs well with Speed Energy if you were able to get a Flying Pikachu V or even VMAX onto the field already. Some cards to help you accomplish getting Arceus VSTAR turn 2 or 3 would be Evolution Insence, Poke Kid, and Capture Energy.

Once you do have Arceus VSTAR on the field then you can use Trinity Nova to get Pikachu V/VMAX ready. For Porygon-Z you can use a combination of Evolution Incense and Rare Candy. You should also make sure to attach Air Balloons to Arceus VSTAR and Porygon-Z in case of a Boss' Orders and for convinience.

Works well against: Blissey V decks, other Flying Pikachu VMAX decks (if you get yours ready first), Lugia VSTAR decks, decks with Decidueye (Porygon-Z handles them well), and much more!

Has trouble against: Radiant Eternatus decks, decks with too many VSTARs/VMAXs, and some that I may not be thinking of as of now.

As complicated as it seems, this deck is pretty easy to use! There are even a few stratagies that I haven't talked about, hope you find them all! Enjoy!!!
