Hi guys! I was searching for a crazy Porygon Z deck, and I came to this one. At firsts, I tried a Jirachi version, but I feel the Green's version is generally more consistent. I heavily drew from Cremascoli's one.
The strategy is very simple here: it's a toolbox deck which can hit for weakness most of the meta. When your Tag Team is going to get koed, just Acerola it, and redistribute the special energies.
Pokemon (13)
1 Reshiram & Charizard-GX (UNB 20)
1 Pheromosa & Buzzwole-GX (UNB 1)
2 Marshadow & Machamp-GX (UNB 82)
2 Magikarp & Wailord-GX (TEU 160)
4 Porygon (UNB 155)
2 Porygon-Z (UNB 157)
1 Yveltal (TEU 95)
Item (36)
2 Guzma (BUS 115)
4 Green’s Exploration (UNB 175)
4 Lillie (SM 122)
3 Acerola (BUS 112)
2 Choice Helmet (LOT 169)
1 Life Forest Prism Star (LOT 180)
4 Nest Ball (SM 123)
1 Pal Pad (UPR 132)
4 Energy Loto (GRI 122)
3 Ultra Ball (SM 135)
4 Pokégear 3.0 (UNB 182)
1 Switch (SM 132)
3 Rare Candy (SM 129)
Energy (11)
2 Unit Energy FDY (FLI 118)
4 Unit Energy GRW (UPR 137)
1 Beast Energy Prism Star (FLI 117)
4 Rainbow Energy (SM 137)
Anyway, the deck has its flaws.
- Obviously, its non-Gx matchup is quite bad. But I can't afford to charge a weak non-Gx mon with special energies, because I have no way to recover them when the mon get killed.
- Even if I play Green's, Porygon Z is rarely ready for turn 2.
- The deck struggles with recovering from hand disruption. If I set up Porygon Z, Green's are thrash, and I play just 4 Lillie as drawing cards. The Jirachi version fares better in this respect, but it set up Porygon Z more difficultly.
- That's not an actual problem, but do you think this deck can survive rotation? The main problem would be the Acerole loss: how can it be replaced? I don't think Super Scoop Up would be a great idea.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
