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

This is a deck built around Incineroar ex<\/strong>, with a non-ex Incineroar<\/strong> included specifically to counter Oricorio<\/strong>. However, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean the deck has a clear advantage against Oricorio\u2014it\u2019s more of an even matchup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The deck makes full use of Pok\u00e9mon Communication<\/strong> to get Incineroar ex<\/strong> into play as quickly as possible. It also utilizes Hau<\/strong> to start earning points early in the game.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

Pok\u00e9mon Communication<\/strong> is not used on the first turn. Starting from the next turn, the goal is to evolve into Incineroar ex<\/strong> as early as possible. Once Incineroar ex<\/strong> is in play, the deck aims to close out the game before the opponent can fully set up, using Hau<\/strong> effectively to gain an advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

Since Litten<\/strong> takes recoil damage when attacking, it’s important to check whether it might be Knocked Out by a counterattack on the next turn before committing to the attack. After that, the strategy proceeds the same way as when going first.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

Incineroar ex<\/strong>\u2019s Fiery Fangs<\/em> deals 50 damage including Burn, and 80 damage when used with Hau<\/strong>, so it\u2019s important to carefully calculate damage, especially in the early game. Since there\u2019s a chance a second Incineroar ex<\/strong> might not make it onto the field, Lillie<\/strong> is used to help protect the first one from being Knocked Out as long as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

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

This deck is ideal for players who want a strategy that’s as straightforward as possible.
It\u2019s also a good choice for those looking to counter Oricorio<\/strong>, or for players who want to take a chance with Incineroar<\/strong>\u2019s coin flip-based attacks to swing the game in their favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
