Deck Primer

Hey!

I am still learning the game, but this is my attempt at trying to future proof the Gardevoir EX League Battle Deck for the 2025 Roration that is going to happen. I tried making the deck competitive, but I am still on low ranks on TCG Live. I am having a good time playing this deck, but I would love some feedback and hlp making it better.

Nice decklist! I think Brilliant Blender will def be the way to go after rotation. U could still add back in the Drifloon and Scream Tail tho. Maybe drop the kirlia line too.

@thepokeman brilliant blender helped a lot. I didn't think about removing the kirlias, but 3 extra Pokémon instead would be good. I am having a lot of trouble against the new Charizard EX, this monster just aniquilates almost my full team due to their weakness.

Some options that I tried were:

Abra - Kadabra - Alakazam EX

Duskull - Dusclops - Dusknoir

Mewtwo

But I am also trying to make a deck that I can afford here in my region, which is kinda hard too. The second one I posted was a bit better on this point, but I am still getting completely murdered by the Charizard EX...

Mewtwo is bad you could probably remove him along 2 of the kirlias along with a few 4 of the psychic energies and add in 2 Iron Leaves + a few Grass Energy. *
Bravery Charm can be replaced with Earthen Vessel
-
Charizard is weak against Grass and Iron Leaves can quickly charge itself: All of your pokemon that have a colorless cost can hold onto your
grass energies and when Iron Leaves comes into from your hans play it can inmediately go into the active spot and transfer all benched grass energy onto both it self free of charge and no switch card needed. Iron Leaves is cheap in the EX battle deck boxes out now.

Glad to hear blender is working out!

Karlin I def understand making affordable decks, so I think a good option for the three spots would be 1 Drifloon (SVI), 1 Scream Tail (PAR), and 1 Flutter Mane (TEF) or 1 Klefki (PAL). You could drop some energy for a Munkidori (TWM) / Basic {D} energy line too.

 

Nocruor0 --> | You also don't need to add Iron Leaves ex. To 1 shot zard: send up garde, bench and attach charm to loon, then us psychic embrace to retreat garde, munki off garde damage to zard, then attack with loon. If ur still having trouble, maybe take out a charm for 1 coppy of Technical Machine: Devolution (PAR). If your having trouble finding the pieces you need, I'd add in some more arven. I'd suggest taking out both Switch and 1 of the moonlit hill.

 

Hope this was helpful! Lemme know what u think :)
