Deck Primer

Blow up your Pokémon (Dusknoir and Dusclops) to get them into your discard pile to further Last Respect's damage.

Strategy: Going either first or second with this deck is fine. For your Early Game/First Turn, attempt to get your Pokémon such as your Greavard's, Naut's, and your Duskull's up and if you go second you could try and use TM: Evolution. Xatu helps as draw support and can get Psychic Energy into play onto your Houndstone's, Dusclops and Dusknoir get damage onto your Opponent's

Blow up your Pokémon (Dusknoir and Dusclops) to get them into your discard pile to further Last Respect's damage.

Strategy: Going either first or second with this deck is fine. For your Early Game/First Turn, attempt to get your Pokémon such as your Greavard's, Naut's, and your Duskull's up and if you go second you could try and use TM: Evolution. Xatu helps as draw support and can get Psychic Energy into play onto your Houndstone's, Dusclops and Dusknoir get damage onto your Opponent's Pokémon and then gets them into your Pokémon which does further Last Respect's damage output. The ACE SPEC of choice, Grand Tree, helps get out your Evolution Pokémon out much easier and can help you get set up a lot quicker. Rigid Band, makes Houndstone a bit tankier and Rescue Board gives Xatu free retreat for a free pivot. Lillie's Clefairy can opt as another attacker and can let Houndstone have an easier shot at OHKOing Dragon Type Pokémon. Bloodmoon helps as a late game attacker due to taking many prizes. That's all I have to say for this deck so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

I'm probably not posting a second deck again, I do apologize for this but Koraidon ex needs a lot more testing than I expected it to take.

LimeLemon Interesting list, don't really have to say much about it? Anyways, when is the Koraidon going to get updated?

LimeLemon The Koraidon deck will probably be updated sometime this week.
