Retro (Rocket/Gym) - Life Drain

As the name implies, this deck revolves around one attack: Sabrina’s Kadabra’s Life Drain. With a variety of tricks, you’ll be able to ensure a successful Life Drain almost always results in a KO. You could, for example, use Sabrina’s Venonat’s Poison Antennae to poison a Pokémon, making sure it will be knocked out immediately following Life Drain. Alternatively, you could use Sabrina’s Venomoth’s Sonic Distortion to leave a Pokémon Confused.

You could, for example, use Sabrina’s Venonat’s Poison Antennae to poison a Pokémon, making sure it will be knocked out immediately following Life Drain. Alternatively, you could use Sabrina’s Venomoth’s Sonic Distortion to leave a Pokémon Confused. That way, if it fails to attack after Life Drain, it will knock itself out. If a Pokémon survives the turn following a Life Drain, don’t worry—Dark Golbat’s Sneak Attack makes for an easy KO while still allowing you to attack. If that isn’t an option, you still have Dark Golbat’s Flitter attack or Mr. Mime’s Magic Darts, the latter of which can be used by Sabrina’s Alakazam thanks to its Psylink Pokémon Power. Though you’re limited to 15 Trainers, you’ll still want to save space for Sabrina’s ESP, which allows you one chance to re-flip coins for an unsuccessful attempts at Life Drain or Sonic Distortion.
