well the fun golduck deck I made after SUM will get a revival with alolan raticate gx in golducks place.
basically it was golduck SUM with starmie EVO for energy recycling, replace the golduck with raticate and we can do basically the same thing
main differences 80 vs 120 base damage cap but ones a free attack while other is one water, other is 200 vs 90 hp so raticate has much more survivability + free attack means we can max potion over and over easily. also 3 retreat vs free retreat, while that bad for raticate it's meant to be a damage tank and we don't usually want it to move to the bench.
so which tools to pair with it, dumbbells +40 hp is nice putting it up to 240, float stone always good, choice band upping dam to 110 lets us 2 shot all but the biggest gx poke.
will this be a tier 1 deck, likely not but I can see it being tier 2 easily.
