Deck Primer

If you were wondering if Tera type Pokemon were going anywhere post rotation, rest assured: they won’t be. Gradually it’s becoming clear that Tera Box decks are becoming a deck type in their own right.

If you were wondering if Tera type Pokemon were going anywhere post rotation, rest assured: they won’t be. Gradually it’s becoming clear that Tera Box decks are becoming a deck type in their own right. While in the past we often called these decks centered on Area-Zero Underdepths Terapagos ex decks, more and more Terapagos ex plays a supporting role in this strategy, while a retinue of toolbox attackers remain on standby to hit for weakness and win games. 

Again in this deck we see a lot going on, but the central theme of the deck are Tera Pokemon. This deck can field a pretty insane number of basic attackers that wouldn’t be possible without a stadium like Area-Zero Underdepths. Although missing from this list are the powerful Palkia and Radiant Greninja, you can still enable that double attack/double KO against lower HP Pokemon via Well-Spring Mask Ogerpon ex. It’s highly likely we’ll be seeing this attacker show up in a lot more decks as we don’t have a catch-all attacker like Radiant Greninja to rely on anymore. While this Ogerpon ex lacks the powerful Concealed Cards ability, you still have plenty of consistency and card search thanks to the Noctowl with Jewel Seeker to help you find what you need when you need it. To ensure your attackers have adequate energy to get their attacks off, this deck leans hard into Crispin, Sparkling Crystal, and Energy Switch.

 

With a powerful Tera Box deck like this running wild in the post rotation format, it’s no wonder Pokemon like Milotic ex that negate Tera Pokemon’s attacks are so popular!

why do you run the psychic energies? becuase I feel like having more energy for you other pokemon would be more important than hving the energies to be able to do latias' attack.

 

Great deck though! super high quality post!
