Raging Bolt Ogerpon (December 2024)

Raging Bolt is your main attacker and most games require three of them. Furthermore, you want two down ASAP so that you can get maximum value from Professor Sada's Vitality. Raging Bolt easily one-shots everything, and has decent HP, so you usually won't need to attack with anything else.

Ogerpon is the engine for this deck, so you'll usually want two or three on your Bench.

For awkward opening hands, Squawkabilly can get you a whole new hand for just one Nest Ball or Ultra Ball. This

Ogerpon is the engine for this deck, so you'll usually want two or three on your Bench.

For awkward opening hands, Squawkabilly can get you a whole new hand for just one Nest Ball or Ultra Ball. This deck needs to hit its Sada combo on turn one, so that makes Squawkabilly an indispensable consistency card.

Radiant Greninja provides efficient draw power and combos well with Professor Sada's Vitality. It contributes to the speed and power of the deck.

On turns where you don't need to use Sada, you can use Boss to take two Prize cards or remove scary threats.

The late-game disruption option can win games, enable comebacks and can easily be set up with Pal Pad and Pokégear. It's also just more consistency for the opening turns, though usually Sada is better.

Energy Retrieval becomes live very early on, fuels Ogerpon and Radiant Greninja, and is overall a very useful and efficient card.

Pal Pad sets up late game plays alongside Pokégear and also helps proof you against disruption. It's also nice to have when you're forced to discard Supporters with Squawkabilly.

Since this deck often uses Sada as its Supporter for the turn, it may not have the option to use Boss's Orders when it wants to. Prime Catcher helps with this, and it really swings games when you draw it at the right time. The card is just broken.

Bravery Charm gives Raging Bolt 290 total HP, which is just insane for a Basic Pokémon. It can also be used to protect Ogerpon against Pokémon that deal 220 damage, such as Miraidon ex or Lugia VSTAR. Finally, it messes with Dragapult ex's math when it tries to set up exact KO's or board wipe.
