This is a very raw version of a way to run Raikou-EX. I saw it, and fell in love with the card. I saw how it could be easily combined with Eelektrick and my ideas began to soar. This deck started as Magnezone/Eelektrik, with Raikou-EX teched in, but decided to switch it to Raikou-EX/Eelektrik with Magnezone teched in.
The prefered start is Thundurus, hitting 80 on turn two, discarding energy, and setting up a Raikou-EX on the bench. When Thundurus does his job, you would send up a fully charged Raikou-EX, sniping Pokemon for prizes (Eelektrik, Reuniclus, and more bench sitters get knocked out in a single blow. AWESOME!) Magnezone is used for draw, and a possible late attacker. Cryogonal is for the obvious weakness to Donphan, also why I'm running Prism Energy.
I know this deck is probably far from being as good as it should, I made this list within 15 minutes of actually sitting down to think about Raikou-EX. Please give me many suggestions on what's the best way to run this deck! PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST TORNADUS.
Cards I thought about putting in:
Eviolite
Level Ball (To search for Eelektrik fast)
UNRELEASED CARDS:
Prism Energy – Special Energy
This card provides 1 Colorless Energy.
If it’s attached to a Basic Pokemon, it provides 1 unit of every Type of Energy.
Skyarrow Bridge – Trainer’s Stadium
Each player’s Basic Pokemon has its retreat cost lowered by 1 Energy.
You can only play 1 Stadium next to your Active Pokemon during your turn. If a Stadium with a different name comes into play, discard this card.
