Deck Primer

This is basically a turbo Fire deck built around Volcanion’s Steam Up. The idea is to get a full board as early as possible with Battle VIP Pass and immediately start trading knockouts instead of playing a slow setup game.

Most of the time the deck attacks with Gouging Fire ex, pushing its damage higher with Steam Up to reach big OHKOs. Victini helps keep the engine going by accelerating Energy while still applying pressure, and Delphox V gives the deck an option to punish benches when the opportunity

This is basically a turbo Fire deck built around Volcanion’s Steam Up. The idea is to get a full board as early as possible with Battle VIP Pass and immediately start trading knockouts instead of playing a slow setup game.

Most of the time the deck attacks with Gouging Fire ex, pushing its damage higher with Steam Up to reach big OHKOs. Victini helps keep the engine going by accelerating Energy while still applying pressure, and Delphox V gives the deck an option to punish benches when the opportunity shows up.

The deck runs a heavy Item engine with Fiery Torch and Fiery Flint, which helps find Fire Energy, thin the deck, and keep Steam Up online every turn. Fire Crystal and Volcarona V help recycle Energy so the deck doesn’t run out of fuel if the game goes longer.

Ninja Boy is a really fun tech here, letting you turn any basic in play into the attacker you need at the moment, which can create some unexpected lines.

Overall the deck just tries to play fast, hit hard, and keep the pressure up until the prize race is over.

Id recommend switching the volcarona v with Victini Prism Star, it does the same thing but 30x damage and its a single prizer. Otherwise, looks great.
