It’s also just a sound strategy to include a Marshadow in most Fighting decks.
Some decks do include both Sudowoodo and Marshadow.
Try it out if you’d like.
You might also remove theRocky Helmetsin favor ofSabrinafor more control factor, orGiant Capesfor further bulk.
There’s no two ways about it: this deck’s Energy-to-damage efficiency is unrivaled.
You’ll often start the match withRioluin the Active Spot, althoughSudowoodois a better choice whenever possible.
Better still,it could well be Arceus ex, which is weak to Fighting.
If it’s RIolu, instead, then20 base damage + 20 for weakness for 40is yours viaJab.
That’s already solid - it’s one Energy!
- butif you have Lucario on the bench, it’s 70.
If you’re blessed withbothLucarios?
Therefore, you shouldn’t shy away from sending out your Cranidos if the right situation arises.
If you might secure enough of a blow to your opponent with it, you won’tneedRampardos.
The Goal
As you could see, our strategy is all about the numbers.
It’s damage, damage, damage, the whole way down.
That’s not so bad, typically, as you’re wielding this fellow like a veritable catapult.
Arceus ex is a beast, and it is presently (read: March 2025) half-dominating the meta.
That works out quite nicely for us.
Arceus ex, on the other hand,being a Normal-bang out, takes 70 damage.
And really,any slow-to-assemble deck is in a bind against Lucario and Rampardos decks.
If you elect to include Marshadow, then there’s just the one card which requires two.
More to the point,many potential backup Darkness-types- including old favourites likeWeezing and Arbok- areweak to Fighting.
Worst Matches
In general,Grass-throw in decks are going to be a problemfor you.
Many Grass-key in Pokemon are slow to get online, butExeggutor exis the resident unstoppable fiend.
For all its strength as a one-Energy strike deck, it can be undone through sheer draw luck.
