Haaaaarry

So I want to build a pikarom deck but most of the lists I have found either run 3 pikarom (which I only have 2) or jirachis which I have none of. I was wondering if anyone had any lists with only 2 pikarom and no jirachis. Thanks :)
 
this is the list I used before i got any jirachi

Well, I still have a PikaRom list without Jirachi and 'just' 2 PikaRom. I played and won 2 League Challenges with it, but not sure whether that was luck, skill or my deck.

Lists without Jirachi usually play 2 Tapu Lele GX instead. But the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced I have to try a build with Jirachi as well, to be honest. But still with 'just' 2 PikaRom!
 
May be run a line of 2/2 blitzl and zebstrika line?

That sounds like a good idea, I'll try out some of the top lists with that swap :)

That looks like a pretty good list. I'll definitely try it out, just curious how helpful Lisia is?

Do you have a list you're willing to share or would you prefer to keep it private? :p
But yeah Jirachi definitely increases the consistency massively.
 
Pikarom doesn't need Jirachi, frankly; it can use it, but it doesn't need it. Turbo Pikarom can work with just Pikarom, for the most part; Tapu Lele to get a supporter sometimes, but you want to avoid benching that if you can to make it too easy to take out. I like and still occasionally play that version - just going for turn two full blitz (if not turn one).

Jirachi's much more useful in the 'slow' PikaRom (which uses Zapdos and other Pokémon to attack while you work on a plan to get PikaRom out, often with a Tapu Koko <> and some energy switching).
