Deck Primer

Quite an underrated deck that can be pretty good when played correctly.

Strategy: In the early game, start off by setting up your Pokémon like Capsakid and Lotad, after you have two choices:

1. Use Budew to item-lock your Opponent.

2. Use TM: Evo to evolve Capsakid into Scovillain ex and Lombre or Charcadet into Armarouge.

Armarouge helps get Fire Energy onto Scovillain to allow you to attack. Also, Ludicolo's Vibrant Dance Ability brings Scovillain's total HP up to 300 which is pretty

Armarouge helps get Fire Energy onto Scovillain to allow you to attack. Also, Ludicolo's Vibrant Dance Ability brings Scovillain's total HP up to 300 which is pretty good as it can further your Damage Output with Spicy Rage. Additionally, the ACE SPEC of choice, Hero's Cape allows you to go up to either 360 HP or 400 HP which can further your Damage Output even further. Exp. Share helps you get an Energy onto another Scovillain to be able to just attach another Energy in order to attack. Do be careful against Pult and Dusclops or Dusknoir due to their Bench Sniping capabilities. Anyways, feel free to make any changes or leave any suggestions!

Interesting list, though wouldn't the Rabsca Line help you out quite a bit to stop the Sniping from Pult?

LimeLemon avatar

Waffle Enthusiast Thank you for your feedback! Also, to answer your question, Rabsca is really helpful in this list, however, it does make the Pokémon count quite high though you could probably cut a Charcadet and Armarouge for a 1-1 Line of Rabsca.

This looks really good ! What are you thoughts about replacing the charcadet line w frosslass + munki?

LimeLemon avatar

XxBlazefire Thank you for your feedback! Also, the Froslass Line and a Munkidori could work in this deck and might be a bit better, though Armarouge's Fire Off does help quit a bit for Scovillain either way it's your choice.

Lugiawings Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoy this deck.

I never see this on Live but i always play it. My highest damage is over 1300 damage i think?

LimeLemon avatar

Lugiawings Inteteresting, also good job getting over 1300 damage. I think the highest I've gotten was like 700-800 damage.

Lugiawings avatar

The player used Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex (Twilight Masquerade) for 240 damage and i was like "Why the heck did you just do that? i can do like a 1000 damage now thanks to you".

weird suggestion, but what if you played Calamitous Snowy Mountain (Paldea Evolved) ? If you attached both energy directly to Scovillian, you could immediately hit for 290 damage.

LimeLemon avatar

inkessant That actually seems pretty good to try out. I'll do testing with it and update it if it works out well.
