Deck Primer

Originally I was gonna make a list on tera box because I played an early version of that deck to arceus in prismatic format and planned to use it in journey together but I kinda just... Stopped playing ptcg live for a bit, mainly cuz I just got bored but now I'm back and raging bolt is my new 'tera box'.

Originally I was gonna make a list on tera box because I played an early version of that deck to arceus in prismatic format and planned to use it in journey together but I kinda just... Stopped playing ptcg live for a bit, mainly cuz I just got bored but now I'm back and raging bolt is my new 'tera box'. Like the deck is honestly pretty similar with how you got your tera Pokémon and your noctowls except raging bolt is more focused on, well, raging bolt and also smaller ancient attackers where's tera box just uses everyone as an attacker.

I'm confident you don't need an explanation of how raging bolt works because it's by far one of the easiest decks to use with how you just get as many energies as possible and swing with bolt and then use other attackers when convenient. I'll just summarise all the things below

Raging bolt- kill big things

Slither wing- Joltik box's nightmare since it kills Pikachu ex alongside 80% of their deck.

Baby bolt- very good to start with going first since you can start sniping stuff on your next turn if it's got 3 energy attached (I stopped a grimmsnarl player from using any grimmsnarls because they could never get more than 1, hate that deck.)

And that's what you'll be using 85% of the time. Cornerstones here not just for farigiraf ex but also as an extra tera mon for your owls and a good card for dengo ex if you can find a way to leave ogerpon as your only Mon since what are they gonna do? Baby dengo? I think not. Pecharunt is the weirdest inclusion but I saw it was able to stop any sort of retreat locking and yes while you can just include a switch there's nothing stopping them from just finding the pieces to do the lock again which tera box with wellspring and Dragapult with Maractus can reasonably achieve so pecharunt just stops that by letting you put fez in the active and free retreat with latias, and they can't just retreat lock the fez because it can attack. Energy switch is here because you can get an aggressive 3 energy bolt if needed and you can be more flexible with which energy goes where if your in a bit of a weird situation. Obviously you can swap something for mew ex if you want and be able to power that up in 1 turn with energy switch but I just haven't felt much need to use mew when fez exists and you don't need fancy attack copying when you can just bash a bolt across their head for 5000 damage. Also if you want more energy recovery since this deck can recover a max of 4 energy you can use superior energy retrieval instead of the regular one. I might use it at some point but right now I haven't felt I've been in a situation where I wish I had more energy, but I'm sure I will eventually.

Also I understand that destined rivals is introducing a stadium that really hates normal types and can turn off half this decks draw engine. But I'd like to mention that if raging bolt could do well with just ogerpon and some turbo options from a clearly faster meta I'm sure it will do fine if the opponent is able to find team rockets watchtower. Also it's not even like you can't use squawkabilly before they get the tower out which is what you can do in most games so by the time they get it down you'll be in a stable position. That's about it, go rage people.
