Ifinally pulled Darkrai exinPokemon TCG Pocket.
Darkrai and Weavile had caught my attention as soon as the new set dropped, so I started there.
Playing The Meta
But I didnt get on with it.
I couldnt draw the cards I needed at the right time.
I shifted the Trainers around, I tweaked and I tinkered, but no dice.
Other people were having success with the deck, but it just wasnt working for me.
So I went Full Meta.
Darkrai ex and Magnezone.
This wasnt really working either.
Sure, sometimes I pulled out a win through sheer attrition, but it wasnt consistent.
Again, I tweaked, but nothing seemed to sit right.
Perhaps theyre better in tournament scenarios than a random leaderboard?
Perhaps theyre just not for me?
So I decided to go off-meta.
I love Lightning-types, so Id build around them.
Theres got to be a way to utilise Magnezone in an all-Electric deck, right?
Okay, you caught me.
Using Magnezone isnt exactly off-meta.
But I havent seen many people use it in conjunction with Electivire.
Heres my list:
Everything here revolves around my trusty Electivire, Hugh.
The idea is to set him up as fast as possible to deal 120 damage a turn.
However, Ive made a few bold calls to make it do this.
Hes called Hugh because I made a typo in the deck name High Voltage.
Most Lightning decks find Volkner more important than Lt Surge.
Youre meant to hit hard, get knocked out, and set up again immediately to take the win.
This is a deck about speed and support, and its the most fun way to play Pokemon Pocket.
It won’t be long before the ban hammer falls on them.
