Deck Primer

Hello Everybody I'm "El Nico"! 

Today I bring you this awesome variant of the powerful Joltik box with the main attacker: ⚡Electivire ex⚡ 

My favorite part of electivire is that you only need 2 energies (1⚡ and 1colorless)  to start making damage, 50 damage to 2 Pokémon in play, this means you can deal with the active Pokemon and spread some damage to the bench or directly attack the bench, with this you can snipe some weak pokemon in bench before they get their full potential,

Hello Everybody I'm "El Nico"! 

Today I bring you this awesome variant of the powerful Joltik box with the main attacker: ⚡Electivire ex⚡ 

My favorite part of electivire is that you only need 2 energies (1⚡ and 1colorless)  to start making damage, 50 damage to 2 Pokémon in play, this means you can deal with the active Pokemon and spread some damage to the bench or directly attack the bench, with this you can snipe some weak pokemon in bench before they get their full potential, like dreepy/drakloak, Marnie's impidimp/morgrem, and many more. But what if they manage to setup a strong Pokémon like Goldengo ex? no problem at all, because Electivire second attack deals 180 base damage to the active pokemon using 3 energies, but you can greatly boost it if you put 2 extra energies (5 energies total) because your damage is increased by 100 dealing a total of 280! Enough to KO a Goldengo ex and if you was able to attack or deal at least 50 damage to other titans like Charizard teracristal, Archaludon ex, Marnie's Grimmsnarl you can KO them with the 280 attack.

The basic setup: Follow the same setup as the regular Joltik box, put Miraidon ex in your bench use "Tandem unit" to bring Joltik and electabuzz (or ironhands if you are able to take a KO with him) use Joltik to charge your main attacker, then try to find Heavy baton to attach it to Electabuzz or Ironhands, by doing this you almost guarantee an inmediate setup for another attacker of your choice and dominance over the match.

Cons: So far so good, as solid as this deck is, it will always have its flaws, When playing this decks in official leagues I've always find or get ways to setup, but as any other decks, if you brick, you brick hard, also not getting ready in early game almost cost you the match, if you can't setup an Ironhands on second turn better don't setup it at all because it may be an easy target and the worst part is, that if  you charge your ironhands and have its heavy baton but it already have 200 damage for the attack of a Dragapult, most likely they will try to boss order it and switch it to the bench to KO him with the 60 damage, if they do this, Heavy baton will not be activated and the energies will be lost, you can overcome this, but its an absolute hard hit.

Aditional tips: I added one Zeckrom EX for the "endgame" where you are at 1 or two prizes to win or lose and the oponent is at the same posittion, Zeckrom can deal the last heavy KO needed to win the match. but if by bad luck you start with it, its almost a free KO for the enemy, this is the reason only 1 is needed in the deck. Latias EX is also a situational Pokémon, it helps you a lot to move between joltik, ironhands, Zeckrom or Miraidon, wich in many matches you will start with any of them and paying their retreat cost may risk your game, you can't move your electivire so be aware of that and only put him there when he is ready to attack at least with his first attack, because most likely he will be there until knock out or if the other boss orders' you. Miraidon ex is your main setup engine, you may add another one if you feel like you struggle to setup but for me one is more than enough, I don't attack much with him but there is always the option to send it to fight, I mean 220 damage is a good amount and with heavy baton you can charge it after a KO and he will be ready to attack and maybe finish the match. Dudunsparce is the draw engine, you can change it but for me is the best, because you can re use it as many times as you like is not hard to setup, the only con is that you must use it on the bench and a fully setup draga may KO him giving a free prize so be careful when you use it.

 

I guess thats more than enough explanation for this deck, so if you have any comments leave them and I will surely read them, any advice is appreciated.

I am "El Nico" and I will see you in the next deck!
