Deck Primer

An interesting little deck idea that I had, that works rather decently. Placing cheap, low-cost enhanced Poisoned status condition using Glimmora or Overqwil, and using Toxicroak for a harder hitting poison infliction; all while amplifying it with Radiant Sneasler -- the poor man's Virbank Gym. Use trainers like Avery to limit opponent's bench plays and Iono to keep hands reshuffling since you don't rely on too much hand control to keep things going.

While Path of the Peak does shut down your own

While Path of the Peak does shut down your own Sneasler's effect - it is in the Deck as a tech against other decks that might benefit from their stadiums, such as Magma Basin or the Lost City. If you're uncomfortable with running it, you can easily take it out and replace it with one more Great Ball and Switch cards.

Updated: Removed a copy of Glimmet/Glimmora and Qwil/Overqwil and placed in a 2-2 run of Galarian Slowking V/VMax for its Word of Ruin and Max Toxify (120 between turns is nasty).

What about adding Hypnotoxic Laser and Virbank Gym. Virbank adds more damage and Hypnotoxic has 50% paralysis

Nocruor0  - If this deck was Expanded format, definitely.  Thankfully -- Temporal Forces will be releasing what will essentially be a Virbank Gym 2.0 with a nearly identical effect (only affects non-Dark mons). This deck has been deconstructed, however, due to the rotation kicking out Slowking.  If and when it gets remade, it'll focus more on Toxicroak.

For now, I'll be utilizing a Tsareena ex/Brute Bonnet poison-combo deck with the new stadium XD
