    Here is some tips and tricks about using the deck

    1. Having Pidgeot EX up asap! Able to find any card in your deck is very important and can help the game in so many different ways

    2. While most decks do have abilities somewhere in there decks, not all do so make sure to charge up Radiant Charizard when possible

    3. Put Mimikyu as your main pokemon, having someone that vs and ex's can't attack is super for strategies.

    4 Rest is up to you!

    What does Radiant Charizard have to do with Pokémon with abilities?

    Some decks don't have abilities so best to have a strong attacker when decks don't have abilities

    I kinda see what you're going for, but there are a lot of issues with this deck.


    All of the pure "draw 3 cards" supporters are bad/beginners' traps. The same goes for Youngster in this format. Replace Nemona and Youngster with real draw supporters like Professor's Research and Iono. I'd also throw in Avery since you're trying to be disruptive.


    Drop the Jacq. You can maybe have one if you really want, but you're better off with 4 Ultra Balls in those slots.


    If "I don't want to risk discarding important cards" was a thought crossing your mind reading the last two paragraphs, that's just part of the game. You need to get used to it.


    Including Radiant Charizard is kinda random on its own, but dedicating 4 Fire Energy just for it is a waste. Drop the 4 Fire Energy AND 4 of the Metal Energy in favor of Luminous Energy.

    Really though, you should look into the Phantom Transformation Zoroark deck. It's a better match than a pure Scizor deck with a random Radiant Charizard, and it'll help you get over your fear of discarding.

    Thanks for the feedback! Tbh the only reason I don't use professors research is cause it can make my deck pretty small and I have lost before because of me playing it, also bout Jacq I do get it but it's kinda important for a nothing but evolution deck, I'll take your guy's advice cause I am a beginner on this. Thanks again!

    So I edited the deck and took your advice I don't have Luminous energy so I put reversal energy instead
