Rate my Standard aggro deck
Hiya!
I normally play aggro decks in Magic: The Gathering and Lorcana. I am designing an aggro deck for Pokemon (Standard) and would be delighted to hear tips for optimizing it.
Here is my first draft:
4 | Mega Zeraora ex PBL #27 |
|---|---|
4 | Pikachu ex PRE #28 |
3 | Tynamo ASC #59 |
3 | Eelektrik ASC #60 |
2 | Fezandipiti ex ASC #142 |
6 | Basic Lightning Energy |
4 | Voltaic Lightning Energy |
1 | Unfair Stamp |
4 | Powerglass |
4 | Waitress |
4 | Carmine |
3 | Boss's Orders |
4 | Energy Switch |
4 | Energy Search |
4 | Ultra Ball |
4 | Night Stretcher |
2 | Switch |
With the initial deck list in mind, I have some questions:
- Is this deck likely to perform smoothly in competitive or casual matches?
- Are there any specific alternative energy types, cards to add, or cards to remove that would suit an aggro, raw damage strategy even better?
- What's your favorite Pokemon?

Haven't really played too many electric decks so don't know how optimal this list is but here, I added Mega Eelektross to allow for some damage if needed e.g. prized Zeraora, I also adjusted the Pokémon ratios to allow for more trainers, added Lillie's determination to allow for hand resetting after heavy discarding, TR Petrel for searching hand destruction (Ultra Ball, Prism Tower), added prism tower for more destruction. Lastly changed the Ace Spec from Unfair Stamp to Legacy Energy to decrease prizes taken from Mega Pokémon to 2 making the deck need 3 K.O.s to lose.
