- You can use the Hydreigon EX to attack for 80 when under an effect of attack or an ability(ex: Regice AOR#24) at the cost of a Double Dragon Energy. Item lock kills this deck, so be aware of it. I would not call this a tier 1 deck only because of M Gardevoir EX (both PRC#106 and STS#79), which are both in the meta right now. Feel free to leave a comment on improvements to this deck.
- The strategy to this deck is to start with Reshiram and power up a Rayquaza EX. Then spirit link it and evolve to mega. Retreat using the Hydreigon/stadium into M Rayquaza EX. Then hit, dealing a OHKO. You can then retreat back into Reshiram to attach more energies to the M Rayquaza.
- It's easy to catch your opponent off guard when you use Hydreigon to attack. It deals a decent 80 damage, so it is sustainable. The one problem with this deck is energy discard. Lots of attacks in this deck require an energy discard or a coin flip discard. This is why Fisherman is in this deck, but I seem to never use it for a good purpose. If someone could help me with this, I would appreciate it very much. Until then, C'ya!
