Deck Primer

I have been meaning to make this deck for a long time. It is strong since the Nidoking doesn't need energy to attack if Nidoqueen is in play. Nidoking two-hiting EX Pokemon doesn't seem too strong, but it's able to attack early and does enough damage to where even if the opponent heals their Pokemon or gives it a tool, Nidoking will still be able to defeat it. Also, since the opponent needs to defeat six of any of the Pokemon in this deck to win, it's okay that Nidoking has to two-hit EX Pokemon.

Being able to use Munkidori and survival brace together is pretty awesome, too. It's also helpful that Nidoking can poisen the opponent's active Pokemon and use perilous jungle to be annoying.

Cool deck. Biggest problem is gonna be inconsistent set up and getting one shot after you lose the brace. Creative tho. Also side not but this deck insta loses to blissey because blissey decks also have 4 monkeys so they can stall w blissey in active and do 180 which kills all
