Meta staples like Pikachu ex and Mewtwo ex aren’t going away any time soon.
But my favourite deck isn’t particularly popular.
This deck is, of course, my Team Rocket-themed deck, featuringWeezing and Arbok.
I’ve played this deck more than any other and it’s not only good, it’s fun.
Scolipede Makes Everything Better
The most obvious change to the deck is swapping Arbok for Scolipede.
120 damage is enough to KO Pikachu ex.
With pop in weaknesses and that 10 poison damage, Scolipede also one-hit KOs Mewtwo ex.
There’s another benefit of using Scolipede over Arbok.
Poison Sting also poisons your opponent, setting up perfectly for you to evolve into Scolipede next turn.
Tweaks And Changes
I’ve shifted a few other elements of the deck to accommodate Scolipede.
As a three-stage evolution, it takes up two extra spots in your deck.
I’ve also added Leaf, another Mythical Island card that helps with positioning.
I’ve also added one basic Pokemon to aid consistency.
Druddigon would also work, but I opt for a lone Salandit.
It faints quickly, but occasionally its 50 damage Venoshock can win a game.
As such, the deck now looks like this:
And it works a treat.
Unmoderated player names are ruining the Pokemon TCG Pocket experience.
