    Also I added a radiant Greninja just so I can start getting used to discarding cards more often

    Also check my profile for the "meta deck" I posted cause I need feedback on it, ive played with it for a while and Ive barely lost with it but I think it could be better

    Keep in mind that reveral energy *does not work* on radiant charizard because it's a basic pokemon and has a rule box. You want luminous energy. You can exchange credits for cards you don't own if you toggle "all" when looking through your card collection.

    personally i feel like full face guard is also kind of moot here since everything in your deck that can make use of it doesn't have more than 150hp at best - that's an easy knockout range for most meta decks even with 30 less damage. Defiance band is decent though and so is bravery charm as long as you remember it only applies +50hp to basics.

    Also uh. have more pidgeys in there. Ideally at least 3.

    Yeah, I forgot to mention that OP should remove Full Face Guard.


    OP, one of the fundamentals you'll learn over time about deck building is not to throw whatever into a deck just because it seems like a good card. If you're throwing in a card that reduces damage, unless you're playing a stall deck you need to ask yourself: Which matchups will this damage reduction matter in? If you can't think of any, don't add the card.
