What’s your favorite deck right now?

curious what some of the hot decks are outside of the meta.

this one has been hugely fun for me. It honestly has been winning online 7/10 games, and is about 50/50 against Celebi (really just depends if they get Serperior finished early, nothing you can really do after that), but Marowak develops so quickly and if you get both flips it’s a 160er one shot knock out of anyone by Gyrarados and Charizard pretty much. It’s also really fun to see people pass on attacks as not to damage Primeape and get 100+ damage coming back their way. Weakness might be the single Machamp trio(I only have one) so it rarely develops until the ends if the game lasts that long, which it doesn’t with Marowak and Primeape on the front lines. If you do get Machamp it’s really fun though. Anyway not saying this the ultimate meta beater but it seems to be a really good combo of quick development and low energy requirement with big punches that will knock out 3 or 4 points before they know what even happened. Just a really fun deck to try out if you have the cards.


2x Marowak, 2x Cubone, 2x Mankey, 2x Primeape, machop, machoke, Machamp EX, 1 potion (can be so vital to keep Primeape alive), 2x pokeball, 2x prof, 1x giovanni (that extra 10 brings down Celebi all the time), 2x Sabrina
