Deck Primer

This build is probably worse than the other Venusaur Builds I've made but Venusaur combines decently well into Poison Box's.

Strategy: Do note that this deck has some flaws and is still going to be worked on. I recommend going first with this deck but there are decent options for going second. Anyways, try to get out Pecharunt, Brute Bonnet, 2 Bulbasaur's, Squawk, and Latias ex. Also, while doing this, try to get ABEC onto Bonnet to use the Ability to poison your Opponent then to get Pecharunt

This build is probably worse than the other Venusaur Builds I've made but Venusaur combines decently well into Poison Box's.

Strategy: Do note that this deck has some flaws and is still going to be worked on. I recommend going first with this deck but there are decent options for going second. Anyways, try to get out Pecharunt, Brute Bonnet, 2 Bulbasaur's, Squawk, and Latias ex. Also, while doing this, try to get ABEC onto Bonnet to use the Ability to poison your Opponent then to get Pecharunt into the Active along with getting Perilous Jungle into play to Donk them. Though, if you fail to Donk them that's alright since you'll be able to start setting up Venusaur. You should try to either use Pecharunt to rack up more damage on them or to item-lock them with Budew turn after turn to slowly set up Venusaur's Attack. Once you're able to stabilize Venusaur's Attack, use Bonnet's Ability to Poison Venusaur, attach Binding Mochi onto Venusaur, then Venusaur will be able to swing for 190 Damage then 220 Damage thanks to Perilous Jungle's Poison Damage. This could be further increased with Kieran to 250 but also serves as an option to switch out your Active Pokémon. Venusaur can also heal the Poison Damage off of itself and can be furthered with Munkidori bringing the heal to 90 and Munkidori also helps Venusaur have an easier time getting KO's. Pecharunt ex is a way to get your Pecharunt into the Active at certain points in the match and can be used for Irritated Outburst which is quite helpful for an Endgame Attack. Squawk helps as an Early Option for your First Turn to ensure a Donk along with Carmine since they help get the cards you need. Also, if you're going second just set up 2 Bulbasuar's, Brute Bonnet, Munkidori, Budew, and potentially Squawk and try to item-lock them with Budew. This is a bit of a shorter description which I do apologize for but anyways feel free to make any changes or to leave any suggestions!

I will be testing a 3rd Venusaur ex and Shaymin in this deck.

When will the normal Venusaur and Blastoise ex decks come? Also, you should make another Tinkaton deck for Destined Rivals and other Team Rocket decks.
