I was out of the game for the last year, and just picked it up again this past week. I was playing in Expanded for a bit, until I noticed that my Volcanion deck is still in format. I retooled it for Standard and it seems to be doing pretty well; it just needs a few tweaks to get a little consistency.
Pokémon: 12
It needs a Tapu Lele. I'm getting one soon, and subsequently swapping the Nest Ball/Ultra Ball tallies.
I should consider swapping out the Fighting Fury Belts for Choice Bands. It's a toss up for me, since both have been effective.
INB4 "Energy Retrieval?!" But it helps when I can't get Starmie out (which happens far too often) or when there's 3 Volcanion-EX on the bench, and I need that extra Steam Up
My biggest problem right now is consistency. The worst problem is making sure a baby Volcanion is out first turn with an energy on it, and at least one in the discard.
