Lysandre's Nope Card

I love this deck. I was personally inspired to play it by Kevin Baxter, who I think of as kind of the Groudon pioneer, haha. This list uses Wobbuffet to sit behind while setting up a Primal Groudon. Starting Wobbuffet against a deck that heavily relies on Shaymin-EX really cripples an opponent’s setup. This can buy enough time to Mega Evolve a Groudon-EX on the Bench with Focus Sash. Since Primal Groudon can’t be affected by disruption cards, it’s a safe strategy

I love this deck. I was personally inspired to play it by Kevin Baxter, who I think of as kind of the Groudon pioneer, haha. This list uses Wobbuffet to sit behind while setting up a Primal Groudon. Starting Wobbuffet against a deck that heavily relies on Shaymin-EX really cripples an opponent’s setup. This can buy enough time to Mega Evolve a Groudon-EX on the Bench with Focus Sash. Since Primal Groudon can’t be affected by disruption cards, it’s a safe strategy to allow it to sit back on the Bench until it’s ready to attack.

When Primal Groudon does come forward, even Rayquaza can’t immediately 1HKO it due to Focus Sash. This usually allows you to take 4 Prizes with one Groudon. With Scramble Switch, you can even take a KO with one Groudon, transfer the Energy to another once it gets hit, then take two more KOs with the second Groudon.

This is a pretty basic list, but there are actually a few options you can use to customise it. Landorus-EX is a useful tech for the mirror because it allows you to break opposing Focus Sash. I also considered playing a 1-1 Golbat PHF or Cofagrigus PLF 56 for that same reason.
