Expanded Raichu Break / Pikachu-Ex

[Matty H]

Hey guys

I was wondering what your thoughts are on this deck?

*I am using Mewtwo because I don't have a Lugia-Ex

*I am adding a Jolteon-Ex to it for his anti EX move - might replace Zapdos with him

I was trying to make a raichu based deck a bit ago, if you're going to use that raichu I suggest a couple wide lens so you can hit things like benched shaymin ex for weakness.

also I think you're a little too tech heavy and should drop a few things for more consistent lines of others.

 

[Matty H]

great idea with the wide lens i didnt think about that - but your right it is annoying when the bench with lightning weakness gets normal damage.

what trainer lines would you boost?

the idea behind the trainers right now is to try and have an answer for any sitution.
there is no real monster pokemon so they have to dodge and weave a bit.

 

[Matty H]

ok so i have reduced the variety of trainers and narrowed them down to fewer lines the focus being on ultra balls, syca, birch and flare.

i have taken zapdos out and replaced him with jolteon
and i have also added a 2nd bouffalant vs grass decks like vespiquen
