Deck Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The strongest deck in A3a.
It can handle most decks in A3b as well, but it’s weak against top-tier Fire decks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Play, Strategy & Gameplay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Basic Deck Rotation<\/div>
\n

A 1-1-2 progression from Pheromosa and Kartana (or Kartana and Pheromosa) to Buzzwole ex.
Use Pheromosa and Kartana to take one Prize and deal damage to the opponent\u2019s ex Pok\u00e9mon with Pheromosa.
Buzzwole ex can attack consecutively by utilizing the abilities of two Celesteela.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

First Turn Strategy & Ideal Setup<\/div>
\n

Use Celesteela as a wall, then start dealing damage with either Pheromosa or Kartana from the next turn. The rest proceeds the same as when going second.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Second Turn Strategy & Ideal Setup<\/div>
\n

Attack with either Pheromosa or Kartana to take one Prize. Since you don\u2019t want them to be knocked out immediately, use Leaf Cape or Erika to help keep them alive longer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Key Playing Points to Always Keep in Mind<\/div>
\n

Manage damage carefully so that Buzzwole ex doesn’t get targeted by Cyrus. Since Buzzwole ex is your finisher, make sure you play in a way that ensures it has enough Energy. Also, be prepared for the possibility that Lusamine in your hand might be discarded by Mars.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Matchup Strategy Against Specific Decks (Charizard ex Deck)<\/div>
\n

Even with Leaf Cape, Buzzwole ex can be knocked out in one hit by Charizard ex\u2019s attack. So, before sending Buzzwole ex into the Active Spot, you should deal damage to Charizard ex with Celesteela. Alternatively, try to knock it out before it evolves.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Who Should Use This Deck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recommended for players who want to enjoy strategic play, from beginners to advanced players.
Best used when Fire decks are not prevalent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
