Lightning Fast Mega Zeraora ex Deck, YOLO


Pokémons

*Swap 2 AR baby Zeraora into 2 Mega Zeraora ex !!!

Optional :

Consider 1 Magneton evoline into a Mega Eelektross ex and an Emolga (with free retreat) or a Stunfisk.

Consider 1 Magneton evoline into 1 Mega Lopunny evoline for Crustle match up.


STRATEGY

Prize mapping 1 - 1 - 2 - 2

Start taking prize on 2nd turn with Mega Zeraora ex, 

Try to setup Wattrell and Magnemite first (since they need to be evolved into kilowattrell and Magneton).

STRATEGY

Prize mapping 1 - 1 - 2 - 2

Start taking prize on 2nd turn with Mega Zeraora ex, 

Try to setup Wattrell and Magnemite first (since they need to be evolved into kilowattrell and Magneton).

Magneton can explode on 2nd turn to charge up Mega Zera and Kilowattrell if needed, opponent's Lille will draw 6 instead of 8.

After 2nd kill, dont hesistate to use Mega Zera's first attack for 180 damage if opponent cant OHKO it, next turn, use the second attack (150 damage) and it will retreat automatically.
Kilowattrell can be used as emergency pivot since it only needed 1 energy to retreat.


TRAINERS

Supporters :

Carmine and Naveen as draw engine, they also help discarding the lightning energies.

Canari maybe not a best choice in this Lightning deck build.

2-3 Boss Order for a competitive build (this card is a must in every Pokemon deck, no ?)

Items : 

4 Ultra Balls, 4 Poke Pads and 4 Poffins.

2-3 Night stretchers is needed due to the amount of discard that we re gonna perform.

Tool (1-2)
Air Baloons are for the Eelektrik

Stadiums (0-3)
Prism Tower is a great choice should you pick Canari over Carmine.
Battle Cage is also a great option, due to Dragapult and Alakazam.


ACE SPEC

Brilliant Blender is for maximum consistency (discarding lightning energies early for magneton's ability, or to remove useless cards mid-lategame (Poffins, etc).

Max Belt is another great option, so you can hit and run for 200 damage, surviving a turn, charge up and finish the game with his Thunder Fist (1st attack).
Hero's Cape to compensate Zeraora's HP.
Prime Catcher can be picked for competitive deck, though with carmine and naveen, Prime is probably not a best choice.


ENERGY

14 basic lightning energies to ensure that we are always have an energy on hand for Kilo or manual insertion.


TIER 3

Pros
Fast pressure, taking early prizes with Zeraora

Mega Zeraora can hit and run for 150 damage (3 energies), charge up while on the bench (+2 to 3 energies with eelektrik), hit with the first damage and assuming that he doesnt die, he can hit again next turn, potentially killing 2 Dragapult

Unfair stamp and red card proof (iono kilowattrell's ability)

Last attacker can be set pretty easily (energy attachment is not a big deal with eelektrik's ability)

Cons

Need moderate setup just to accelerate 1 energy per eelektrik

Low HP mega pokemon (Mega Zeraora)

Weak benched Pokemons (low HP for sniping)

Damage build up is mid (60x per energy)

Not many attack options, main attacker are EXs (hello crustle, bye, good game)
