Deck Primer

Tired of getting turn 1 ability rushed? Why not utilize this Klefki Evolution tactic and Hit and Run for some major damage. With Arven and Irida its easy (minus if your TM Evolution is prized) to get off a decent Deck search and board state for the retreat and Hit. Perhaps if you can find some wiggle room a second TM Evolution would be a good shout. By Design this deck is built to enable the Rush and retreat strategy whilst only giving up a few single prize turns until you draw the palkia vstar

Tired of getting turn 1 ability rushed? Why not utilize this Klefki Evolution tactic and Hit and Run for some major damage. With Arven and Irida its easy (minus if your TM Evolution is prized) to get off a decent Deck search and board state for the retreat and Hit. Perhaps if you can find some wiggle room a second TM Evolution would be a good shout. By Design this deck is built to enable the Rush and retreat strategy whilst only giving up a few single prize turns until you draw the palkia vstar mid to late game for the VSTAR ability to clean up with Greninja or just in general. 

Disadvantages: Heavy reliance on a 1 of card make the decks first turn function a little inconsistant, Klefki does shut of the greninja ability whilst active and can in some instances be more of a hinderance than a help. 

Advantages: Easily able to polish up and rush for some heavy Turn 2 damage on the pokemons biggests Early game threats. Hitting for a potential 220 (with practice studio) and 230 damage (with practice studio and vitality band) Palafin is able to one shot some of the games most painful match ups such as Roaring Moon and Miridon whilst only giving up 1 prize in return.

Yeah reason I chose switch is so I can retreat the palafin too, switch cart wouldn't allow me to do so and I found switch gave me that better results
