Seen nothing but that deck tonight, since I got back in great ball league. What's going on, why's that deck making a come back? Is Flareon ex that much of a threat?

I never heard about that Chein_Po, or do you mean Chien-Pao?

I wouldn't expect it to last long with Budew in the format.

I came across a Budew deck recently. What are some good cards to have ready against it?

What deck are you playing? Chien-Pao? Suggested inclusions can vary by deck.

Ok well, in that case, I'd say you could try increasing the number of Charmeleon (and maybe Pidgetto) you play, and maybe even throw in a Jacq.

You will want to pack some TM Evolution, play two charmeleon and at least one pidgeotto, and always go second when you can, focusing hard on hitting Tm Eve every turn. Then the turn after you can evolve into pidgeot and charizard.
