52 Non basic Pokemon with a retreat cost of four

4 Double Turbo Energy
__________________________________________________________________________________

380 damage per turn is all I'm seeing. This deck has no flaws whatsoever and I think that this world is currently not prepared for this Onix card to be in standard. Honestly disgusting that the designers thought printing this card wouldn't lead such a powerful and toxic deck running around. The next big tournament is going to be so boring because of the lack of variety since everyone's going to copy this deck list (Of course there will be slight alterations) which I think is pretty degenerate.

Before you ask questions about stupid things like "cOnsIstEncY!" or other dumb things like "lAcK oF SuPpOrt" I want you to know that although these may trouble Thumping Gargantuan (I'm coining this term for decks that rely on Thumping Avalanche) these silly claims can be dismissed by the fact that there's a nonzero chance this deck does 380 first turn AND the Onix isn't immediately killed.

Raichu's permanent Exp Share is weirdly bad, I'd expect it to move at least all energies, or move the energy to any other Pokemon, not just itself.
Onix might be fun, it combos with Dodonzo SV for a DCE-fueled cheap deck.
 
We have Miriam now, and we can run four. This might seem like it sucks, but Celebrations Kyogre was running around doing Energy Recycler shenanigans in Lost Box, which is a similar idea—the biggest problem might be finding good Pokemon with four retreat to include (and others with a lower retreat cost to minimize...)

And, let's be honest, on the off chance you discard 1 or 2 of your DTE, you're still knocking out basically anything that could possibly be in the active spot on turn one.

Bossing benched onix, benching them, Lack of gust, linearity, only having 4 energy. But I agree about the design part
 
The Raichu art is gorgeous. The Onix art is good too, though idk how it got in the air like that. Too bad the effects aren't good, but it could be worse.

Good luck with the consistency, bro. Finding the energy will be difficult. What if all DTE prized?

Onix - need Steelix ex, because this will be a default Onix to use. Alternate attacker to hit different weakness. 4

Raichu - 180 isn't enough to get a revenge KO. 3

And lucky for you on this satiric sabbatical, there's just enough Retreat-4 evolutions in standard that you can run all different cards!
 
I really don't understand why they keep printing 180 for 3 with a negative effect on evolutions when a basic (Snorlax) can already do it. Basically the only advantages are that nothing is weak to Colorless and being able to use Reversal Energy, but the existence of Mirage Gate makes the latter less impressive. I know a lot of cards are bulk on purpose, but this Raichu doesn't particularly look like that since they bothered giving it an Ability.

I loved the thumping fall Steelix with Nessa.

This should be interesting.
 
the 4 retreat steelix was in my cube for a while, it had a tiny niche for sure and this is neat for the same reasons.
 
Raichu could see some play in GLC format but not in standard. 180 is just too low damage for 3 energy
