Pokemon: 11
Strategy:
This is based off the brand new scans, so there might be some changes later on for that reason. However, I do think that anything that can power up Groudon relatively fast is going to work. Primal Groudon-EX hits for 100 + 100 if there's a Stadium in play, which has great synergy with Scorching Earth (discard a (R) or (F) energy, draw 2 cards). Victini is, as far as I can tell, the fastest energy acceleration we can get him, and in addition it uses the other type of energy that we can discard with the stadium. The rest is pretty standard, discard stuff and use Maxie or Sycamore for drawpower.
Any feedback is appreciated, and please tell me if I forgot something vital, this is off the top of my head tbh. Can't wait to try it out in February though!
