The Lunatone/Solrock deck has really been dominating the meta ever since the launch of the Pokémon GO set a few weeks ago. This is a very simple deck to play and I would highly recommend it to all newer players of the Pokémon TCG. Also, its very cheap to put together so it can be considered a “budget deck”.

The Lunatone/Solrock deck has really been dominating the meta ever since the launch of the Pokémon GO set a few weeks ago. This is a very simple deck to play and I would highly recommend it to all newer players of the Pokémon TCG. Also, its very cheap to put together so it can be considered a “budget deck”.

This deck functions by discarding as many psychic energies as possible using cards such as PokéStop (Pokémon GO)  from the new set. Then using Solrock (Pokémon GO)  “Sun Energy” to put those discarded energies into play onto an attacking Lunatone (Pokémon GO)  with hopefully, a Choice Belt (Brilliant Stars)  equipped!

This deck also runs a plethora of card draw mechanics that simultaneously discard your energies such as Radiant Greninja (Astral Radiance) , Professor's Research (Pokémon GO) , and even Trekking Shoes (Astral Radiance) !

One card to watch out for with this deck is Avery (Chilling Reign) . Avery can make your discard the amount of Pokémon that you have on your bench. Therefore, limiting the number of Solrocks you have on your bench to attach energies to Lunatone with. Fortunately, this deck runs Rescue Carrier (Evolving Skies)  which will give you the ability to regain these Pokémon that are discarded by Avery.

Lastly, every single pokemon in the deck is able to use Scoop Up Net (Rebel Clash) . That being said, You have a way to protect all of your damaged Pokemon or abuse Solrock and Radiant Greninjas abilities. Doing so may allow you to “Turbo” energies onto a Lunatone for a very explosive attack.

If you like playing efficient budget decks then this is the deck for you!

If you have any questions or concerns about this deck list, please kindly comment.

What's your take on adding 1 Cancelling Cologne to deal with pokemon that has abilities to prevent damage from basic pokemon?

Thank you for your question! Yes, you could absolutely run a 1 of canceling cologne in this list if you are playing against a mechanic that is preventing your basic pokemon from dealing damage. Every Pokemon list has what I call "flex slots" in them. In this deck's case, I would suggest cutting 1 quickball or 1 of the rescue carriers for the 1 of canceling cologne. Honestly, most Lunarock decks are only running two rescue carriers. I chose to run a 3rd just for consistency. Therefore, the third rescue carrier is definately a "flex slot".
