Deck Primer

An odd deck that can deal high damage under the right circumstances.

Strategy: I'd recommend going second with this deck due to Budew but going first is fine. Anyways, for your First Turn, get out 2 Magcargo's, Squawk if possible, and Budew if you're going second. Anyways, further on into the game, Academy at Night can make the top card of your deck a Fire Energy which allows Magcargo to swing for 280 which is great but can do much more with the ACE SPEC of choice, Maximum Belt bringing

An odd deck that can deal high damage under the right circumstances.

Strategy: I'd recommend going second with this deck due to Budew but going first is fine. Anyways, for your First Turn, get out 2 Magcargo's, Squawk if possible, and Budew if you're going second. Anyways, further on into the game, Academy at Night can make the top card of your deck a Fire Energy which allows Magcargo to swing for 280 which is great but can do much more with the ACE SPEC of choice, Maximum Belt bringing it up to 330 Damage which can one shot everything up to 330 HP! (if they're an ex) Professor's Research is the main Draw Engine as discarding cards is quite helpful but the 2 Arven's are here to still help get set up, Iono for the usual disruption, Turo's Scenario to reset a Pokémon, and Briar to help take your remaining prizes if your Opponent is at 2 Prizes remaining. TM: Evolution helps get out your Magcargo's a bit easier and if you're item-locked. I don't have anything else to say so feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

This deck has some flaws like getting Fire Energy attached to your Magcargo's so a Chi-yu ex or a 1-1 or 2-2 Line for Armarouge could help make it a bit easier.

HighDesertStorm This deck is kind of outdated since it's for Journey Together's format, but Team Star grunt could work but the main focus of this deck was to get your own Energy on top of your own deck.
