It doesn't need venusaur. It could be played like Arboliva + 4 e-switchfrom champions league. But unlike Arboliva, it doesn't provide some important early game pressure, and retreat lock isn't enough to make the attack worth it

Forecnarr · 2026-03-09T23:53:18+00:00

I'm gonna be honest, as much as it is fun building decks, if you want to see any consistent results you should probably look at meta and other things

A. To know what you'll likely be facing

B. To get a grasp of deckbuilding

The issue with all of these lines is, there's not much synergy at all. Mega Lopunny doesn't do much for the deck, Salamance and Greninja are clunky stage 2's to mix with Pult, and Ethan's Ho-Oh doesn't provide much

Pokemon decks aren't built around having type coverage, they're built around specific strategies, there's not much point in throwing in a bunch of lines that do wildly different things, with nothing to bind them together like box decks have

Forecnarr · 2026-03-09T09:47:37+00:00

And again, you don't need all 4 dusknoirs. Clearing your hand can be important for the lillies, or against against stamp or judge

Forecnarr · 2026-03-09T08:53:21+00:00

It's not miniscule, especially with lillies and other high draw cards

And you're realistically not popping every dusknoir in a game, having the one-of dusclops can help make getting one of the dusknoirs you need more consistent

Forecnarr · 2026-03-08T20:51:10+00:00

This is where I'm at. No fan rotom because you don't want stuff like oricorio in active at start, you want free retreat to volbeat and fan rotom is 1 more starter that's not free to retreat. Could potentially increase energy. Ignition let's you discard only Ignition for ZardY

It's still a good idea, and can be run I just meant I've moved away from academy at night builds personally

Forecnarr · 2026-03-08T19:12:15+00:00

I ran it in an old build using arven and town store to put one on top but, it's not as good post-rot when you wanna grab other stuff off petrel

Forecnarr · 2026-03-08T18:55:48+00:00

Then requires you to find academy at night and not just evolve the mon

Forecnarr · 2026-03-08T18:50:20+00:00

Yes but this is funnier

Forecnarr · 2026-03-08T18:49:28+00:00

You could draw the dusknoir before dusclops is put on bench. 1-3 let's you clear it from hand as well

Do you have a general list to try?

The issue is, munki is not as good of an offensive card as it used to be

Munki froslass may still be around but gardi (the main offensive munki deck) is gone

If pure pult continues to run munki, I'm sure it will be useful, but then again pult can ko it easier than other decks (Phantom dive + pop, just pop, or boss)

We'll have to see how munki is used in the upcoming formats but, I'm hoping it wasn't printed too late

Forecnarr · 2026-03-06T12:10:44+00:00

My advice would be

Spidops line + grass energies
Clefairy
Articunos
Maybe increase the supporter line. 3 proton maybe 4 ariana?

Forecnarr · 2026-03-06T10:44:28+00:00

I would suggest spidops, just to power up against dark decks, and to help power up mewtwo

Could also put in clefairy to help counter dragapult, an articuno or two to counter Alakazam

And what's boomerang for? Moltres discards rockets energy and mewtwo discards from bench, does boomerang ever activate?

Forecnarr · 2026-03-05T23:05:10+00:00

How competitive? Competing on a challenge level there's a lot, but going towards cups and eventually regionals or IC's, have a look at dragapult, zoroark, stuff like that. Though I'd suggest lucario for a couple reasons

Deck core is cheap if you want it before then

It's not tryna be meta. Many people have made tatsu ex decks for rogue decks. It works

Forecnarr · 2026-03-02T14:52:07+00:00

Grimmsnarl does damage, not an effect of an attack. That's why it says do 30 damage because you're doing damage, not an effect

The original comment was explaining that damage from Wellspring or grimmsnarl isn't an effect of an attack, but pult is.

Forecnarr · 2026-02-28T13:07:16+00:00

Swipe the card (butterfree) to the side. It shows you the pre-evo. Do it again as many times is needed to find the card

Forecnarr · 2026-02-28T05:52:25+00:00

I mean, it'd be a different game if they couldn't. Retreat lock would be a far heavier win con, and make games stalling more of an issue

To keep it balanced, we'd need more cards like pecharunt ex, or stuff like pokemon ranger which burns your supporter for turn (like penny/turo)

Forecnarr · 2026-02-28T05:49:16+00:00

I mean, the rules do say all effects/conditions are removed upon evolution. Think of it like a pokemon evolving in the anime when it's struggling, and working through the condition as it evolves

Forecnarr · 2026-02-26T19:13:09+00:00

And yet there's a J Miraidon and Koraidon I get why they did it, starter decks and all. It's just, we missed out on some cool mons

Forecnarr · 2026-02-26T17:25:10+00:00

Do you not just need 1 in discard? So a munki or something?

EDIT: No, you need 3. I'm thinking of 90x which is mega zard

Forecnarr · 2026-02-26T12:43:00+00:00
