Copycat allows both players to have the same number of cards in their hand, thus increasing Noivern V’s Synchro Loud attack damage from 60 to 180. Special mention goes to the supporter Copycat, which has been included in this deck. With a higher chance of finding Golbat, this deck can more easily set up and pull off its strategy. On the other hand, if I play 2 copies of Evolution Incense, I have a 5/40 chance of finding Golbat, since every Evolution Incense can turn into a Golbat. For example, if I’m trying to find a Golbat in a 40 card deck, I will have a 3/40 chance of drawing it off the top of my deck (since I play 3 Golbat). If your attackers can’t get onto the field in time, the opponent will probably overwhelm you before you can even fire off an attack.Īlmost every deck plays Pokemon search cards to increase the probability of finding their attackers + supporting Pokemon. In any deck, setting up Pokemon is probably the priority. Pokemon search cards ( Sonia, Great Ball, Evolution Incense) Most competitive decks play Pokemon engines in tandem with draw supporters to maximise their draw power, since supporters can’t be used more than once per turn. Bonus points go to Golbat and Crobat, which have abilities that allow the player to draw more cards. This deck plays 9 draw supporters, which though slightly excessive, ensures that the deck can find the cards it needs to function smoothly. Logically speaking, drawing more cards increases the chances of finding your attackers, energy, or whatever you need on that specific turn. I would describe a Pokemon card engine as a set of cards that increase the deck’s drawing/searching ability. Now that we understand the deck’s composition, let’s evaluate it! 2 copies of Escape Rope provide switching, while the 2 Potions provide healing.įinally, this deck plays 16 energy, with an even split of Darkness and Psychic Energy. Sonia + Great Ball + Evolution Incense help with Pokemon search, and Gordie + Energy Search, well, they search out energy. In terms of supporters, Copycat, Hop, and Dan are here to draw extra cards. In terms of Trainer cards, this deck plays 11 supporter cards and 12 item cards. Finally, Lugia, Xatu and Alcremie serve as alternate attackers additionally, Alcremie can provide energy acceleration using its “Decorate” attack. The Zubat/ Golbat/ Crobat serves as an engine for this deck, with the abilities of Golbat and Crobat allowing the player to draw cards. In terms of Pokemon, Noivern V is the star of the show, with a comparatively high damage output coupled with the ability to spread damage across the board with its Boomburst attack. Let’s start with asking ourselves, what is the main strategy of this deck? I think that it would be to power up Noivern V, then take quick KOs with its Synchro Loud attack.
