Dougbro1: Diamond Storm as a Sacred Fire variation?

I have noticed that the defense raising effect can trigger for each opponent hit I'm surprised that's not noted on the page. [[User:Questioner|Questioner]] ([[User talk:Questioner|talk]]) 22:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

==Diamond Storm is Renamon's Attack!==

I'm surprised that no one has ever mentioned nor noticed this, but is worth mentioning here that the attack's name of Diamond Storm is already used as Renamon's signature attack in Digimon Tamers. [[User:Cynthia149|Cynthia149]] ([[User talk:Cynthia149|talk]]) 19:57, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
:No. It's simply a coincidence. And I'm pretty sure most Pokémon moves have the same name as a move/attack from other shows/games.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

==Not a Sacred Fire variation==

I recognize that the two moves were probably stated to be variations on one another for the following reasons (and you can let me know if I missed any):
Both moves have:
:1: 100 power
:2: 95 accuracy
:3: A secondary effect that has a 50% chance to activate
While these are all impressive similarities, there is one striking difference that causes me to question whether these moves can truly be called variations, namely that Diamond Storm is a multi-target move. In a single battle, it would make sense, but I think the number of targets does affect what we consider "variations." Otherwise, {{m|Dragon Hammer}} would be listed as a variation of {{m|Land's Wrath}}. Because of this, I do not think we should classify Diamond Storm and Sacred Fire to be variations on one another. I'd be glad to know your thoughts, though. '''[[User:Dougbro1|Dougbro1]]''' ([[User talk:Dougbro1|Talk]]) 22:01, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Wailord/Fossils (TCG)

2026-02-24T20:49:17Z

Dougbro1: Removed speculation and cleaned up

{{ArchetypeInfobox
|title=Wailord/Fossils
|image=WailordexEXSandstorm100.jpg
|image2=ClawFossilEXSandstorm90.jpg
|caption={{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wailord ex|100}} and {{TCG|Claw Fossil}}
|cards={{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wailord ex|100}}, {{TCG|Claw Fossil}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil}}, and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Bellossom|16}}
|types={{e|Water}}{{e|Grass}}
|era=2004
}}
'''Wailord/Fossils''' was a rogue [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck}} piloted by Colin Moll to a top eight finish at the {{TCG|2004 World Championships}}. In retrospect, many players regard it as a very strong {{TCG|deck archetype|archetype}}. The deck’s primary focus involves using a variety of mechanisms to keep damage off {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wailord ex|100}} in order to maximize the output of its ''Dwindling Wave'' attack.

==Strategy==
[[File:BellossomEXHiddenLegends16.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Bellossom|16}}]]
The player would alternate between using {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wailord ex|100}}'s ''Dwindling Wave'' and ''Super Deep Dive'' attacks. ''Dwindling Wave'' does 100 base damage, enough to knock out most Pokémon of the era, but does 10 less damage for each damage counter on Wailord ex. ''Super Deep Dive'' heals 30 damage from Wailord ex and switches it with one of the user's Benched Pokémon. When using ''Super Deep Dive'', the player would switch into either {{TCG|Claw Fossil}}, {{TCG|Root Fossil}}, or {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} whenever possible, since these do not give up any Prize Cards when Knocked Out. Wailord ex would be safe on the Bench, and the opponent would be forced to waste a turn attacking a Fossil. Meanwhile, the player can use {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Bellossom|16}}'s ''Heal Dance'' {{TCG|Poké-POWER}} to heal even more damage from Wailord ex and further maximize ''Dwindling Wave'''s damage output.

==Key cards==
[[File:RootFossilEXSandstorm92.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Root Fossil}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wailord ex|100}}''' - Wailord ex serves as the deck's primary attacker. With 100 base damage, ''Dwindling Wave'' was capable of Knocking Out most Pokémon of the era in one attack. ''Super Deep Dive'' heals damage from Wailord ex and gives the player the opportunity to switch into a Fossil, stalling the opponent for a turn and providing an additional turn of uninterrupted healing via Bellossom's ''Heal Dance''.
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Bellossom|16}}''' - Bellossom's ''Heal Dance'' was used to heal damage from Wailord ex; in combination with ''Super Deep Dive'', it kept Wailord ex healthy for higher damage with ''Dwindling Wave''. The inclusion of {{TCG|Multi Energy}} in the deck also allows Bellossom to attack in a pinch.
* '''{{TCG|Root Fossil}}''' - Root Fossil, though officially a {{TCG|Trainer card}}, acts as a Basic Pokémon while in play. However, it does not give up a prize when Knocked Out, making it a perfect target to switch into with ''Super Deep Dive''. Additionally, Root Fossil has the {{TCG|Poké-BODY}} ''Spongy Stone'' that allows the player to remove one damage counter from it between turns. With only 40 HP, though, it was typically Knocked Out in one attack.
* '''{{TCG|Claw Fossil}}''' - Claw Fossil served the same purpose as Root Fossil. However, its Poké-BODY ''Jagged Stone'' is substantially more useful, as it can place one damage counter on the attacking Pokémon upon being damaged.

==Typical decklist==

==Possible tech cards==
[[File:WailordEXRubySapphire14.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Wailord|14}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Wailord/Fossils in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* '''{{TCG ID|EX Ruby & Sapphire|Wailord|14}}''' - Though neither were particularly popular, the 2004 format included two Pokémon with the ''Safeguard'' Poké-BODY: {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wobbuffet|26}} from {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} and {{TCG ID|EX Hidden Legends|Ninetales|22}} from {{TCG|EX Hidden Legends}}. Pokémon with ''Safeguard'' are invulnerable to attacks from {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}}, rendering Wailord ex useless against them. The inclusion of a non-ex Wailord increased the deck's chances of winning against ''Safeguard'' Pokémon.

==Release information==
===EX Series===
This card was included in the {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} expansion with artwork by [[Ryo Ueda]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Miracle of the Desert}} expansion. It was reprinted in the {{TCG|EX Emerald}} expansion with the same artwork, and in the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} ({{TCG|Holon Phantom}} in Japan) and {{TCG|POP Series 5}} sets with new artwork by the same artist.

===Diamond & Pearl Series===
Rare Candy was printed with another artwork also by [[Ryo Ueda]] in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Moonlit Pursuit}} and {{TCG|Dawn Dash}} expansion, and later reprinted in {{TCG|POP Series 8}}.

===HeartGold & SoulSilver Series===
Rare Candy was later reclassified in Japan as an {{TCG|Item card}} during the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, though the English Trainer cards did not adopt this naming convention until the Black & White Series. The {{TCG|Unleashed}} expansion featured new artwork by [[Noriko Hotta]], which was previously released in the Metagross Deck of the Japanese {{TCG|Leafeon vs Metagross Expert Deck}}, and the Japanese {{TCG|Reviving Legends}} expansion featured yet another new illustration by [[Shizurow]].

===Black & White Series===
Rare Candy was later reprinted in the {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} expansion with new artwork by [[Ryo Ueda]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Dark Rush}} expansion. This print brings the card effect in line with an errata issued at the start of the Black & White Series. It was later included in the Japanese {{TCG|Hydreigon Half Deck|Hydreigon}} and {{TCG|Garchomp Half Deck}}s, the {{TCG|Master Deck Build Box EX}}, as well as the {{TCG|Black Kyurem-EX Battle Strength Deck|Black Kyurem-EX}} and {{TCG|White Kyurem-EX Battle Strength Deck}}s. A Mirror Holofoil {{TCG|BW-P Promotional cards|BW-P Promotional}} version of this print was also available in Japan and was one of ten cards that could be found in {{TCGMerch|BW|Era|Gym Challenge Promotional Card Pack 4}}, which was distributed at Gym Challenge venues during June, July, and August 2012. This print features the Gym Challenge logo. The Dark Explorers print was reprinted in the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion along with a {{TCG|Secret card|Secret}} print with artwork by [[Ayaka Yoshida]]. These prints originated from the Japanese {{TCG|Blastoise + Kyurem-EX Combo Deck}} and the {{TCG|Megalo Cannon}} expansion, respectively.

===XY Series===
The XY Series brought an additional reprint of Rare Candy with new artwork by [[Toyste Beach]], included in the {{TCG|Primal Clash}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Gaia Volcano}} expansion. In Japan, this print was reprinted as a Mirror Holofoil {{TCG|XY-P Promotional cards|XY-P Promotional card}} and was one of twelve cards available in {{TCGMerch|XY|Era|Pokémon Card Gym Promotional Card Pack 5}}, which was distributed at Pokémon Card Gym venues from the month of May 2015 through the month of July 2015. This print features the Pokémon Card Gym logo. The Primal Clash print was later reprinted in the Japanese {{TCG|M Master Deck Build Box Power Style}} and {{TCG|M Master Deck Build Box Speed Style}}, the {{TCG|BREAK Starter Pack}}, and as a Mirror Holofoil in the {{TCG|Premium Champion Pack}}.

===Sun & Moon Series===
Rare Candy was reprinted again during the Sun & Moon Series as part of the {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} expansion with new artwork by [[Toyste Beach]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Sun & Moon Starter Set}} and {{TCG|Premium Trainer Box}} simultaneously on December 9, 2016. This print was subsequently available as both numbered and unnumbered Holofoil {{TCG|SM-P Promotional cards}} as part of two Japanese events. The numbered print, 025/SM-P, could be obtained as a victory award for players participating in the Pulverizing Pancake Battle at the Welcome Festa, held at the Sunshine City Convention Center in East Ikebukuro, Toshima, Tokyo on January 14, 2017. It could also be obtained as a victory award for players participating in the Pulverizing Pancake Battle 2 event at the 2017 Osaka Champion's League, held at MyDome Osaka, Osaka on February 18 and 19, 2017 and at the 2017 Miyagi Champion's League, held at Sunfesta, Sendai on April 1 and 2, 2017. The Pulverizing Pancake Battle 2 event was only held on the second day at each Champion's League venue. Both events comprised a Trading Card Game segment and a Video Game segment, and required a pair of players to enter together. The segments were not concurrent, therefore individuals could participate in both segments if they so wished, so long as each member of the pair participated in different segments. Players would receive one copy of the numbered print for every win in any segment, with a limit of four copies per person. Each numbered print also featured a {{DL|List of other event distributions in Generation VII|Pulverizing Pancake Battle Rare Candy|serial code}} used to redeem a Rare Candy in Japanese region copies of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The top four pairs in terms of overall number of wins would progress to the single-elimination finals. At the Welcome Festa only, the top three pairs at the end of the event were each awarded an unnumbered copy of this card featuring a foil stamp of their overall position, presented in an acrylic case.

It was reprinted as a Mirror Holofoil in the Japanese {{TCG|Enhanced Expansion Pack Sun & Moon|Sun & Moon}} subset, and as a {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} {{TCG|Secret card}}, both with artwork by [[Toyste Beach]]. The Secret print was later included in the English {{TCG|Guardians Rising}} expansion. In Japan, the Sun & Moon Era print was reprinted in the {{TCG|Tapu Bulu-GX Enhanced Starter Set}}, in the {{TCG|GX Battle Boost}} subset as a Mirror Holofoil card, and again as a Non Holofoil card in the {{TCG|Solgaleo-GX & Lunala-GX Legendary Starter Set}}, {{TCG|Ultra Moon}} expansion, {{TCG|Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Premium Trainer Box}}, {{TCG|Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Deck Build Boxes|Ultra Sun Deck Build Box}}, and {{TCG|Forbidden Light}} expansion. Rare Candy was reprinted with the initial Ryo Ueda artwork in the {{TCG|Celestial Storm}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Champion Road}} subset. The Sun & Moon Era print was once again reprinted in the Japanese {{TCG|Sky-Splitting Charisma}} expansion, in seven of the nine {{TCG|GX Starter Decks}}, in the {{TCG|Super-Burst Impact}} expansion, simultaneously in the {{TCG|Tag Bolt}} expansion and {{TCG|TAG TEAM GX Premium Trainer Box}}, simultaneously in the {{TCG|Double Blaze}} expansion and {{TCG|TAG TEAM GX Deck Build Box}}, and in the {{TCG|Sun & Moon Family Pokémon Card Game}} set.

===Sword & Shield Series===
Rare Candy was reprinted again during the Sword & Shield Series and was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|V Starter Sets|V Starter Set Fire}} with new artwork by [[Yoshinobu Saito]]. Its first release outside Asia was in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion, which originated from the Japanese {{TCG|Shield}} expansion. In Japan, it was reprinted in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield Premium Trainer Box}}, in the {{TCG|Charizard & Grimmsnarl VMAX Starter Sets}}, as a {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards|S-P Promotional card}}, in five of the nine {{TCG|V Starter Decks}}, in a second version of the Charizard VMAX Starter Set from the {{TCGMerch|Sword & Shield|Era|VMAX Battle Triple Starter Set}}, in the {{TCG|Single Strike & Rapid Strike Premium Trainer Boxes}}, in the {{TCG|Start Deck 100}} (available in both Non Holofoil and Mirror Holofoil versions), and in the {{TCG|VSTAR Premium Trainer Box}}. The S-P Promotional print was one of nine possible cards included in special packs sent to Event Organizers in April 2020 for distribution in official events hosted by them. This print features the Event Organizer logo in the bottom right corner of the illustration. A new print with artwork by [[Ayaka Yoshida]] was included in the {{TCG|Pokémon GO}} expansion, first released in the Japanese subset of the same name. The Sword & Shield print was reprinted in the special {{TCG|Crown Zenith}} expansion outside Asia.

===Scarlet & Violet Series===
[[Studio Bora Inc.]] provided new artwork for Rare Candy's entry in the Scarlet & Violet Series. The card was released as both a Regular card and a {{TCG|hyper rare}} in the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion. The Regular print was also included in the {{TCG|ex Starter Sets|ex Starter Set Fuecoco & Ampharos ex}} and {{TCG|Premium Trainer Box ex}} that released on the same day as the main Japanese expansion. This artwork was also released as one of the Japanese {{TCG|SV-P Promotional cards}} and was one of nine cards that could be found in {{TCGMerch|Scarlet & Violet|Era|Endorsed Independent Event Trainers Pack 2023|2023 Endorsed Independent Event Trainers Packs}}. Certified Event Organizers distributed these packs at events they oversaw in January 2023. This print has the collection number 016/SV-P and features the Event Organizer logo. This promotional print was subsequently available in {{TCGMerch|Scarlet & Violet|Era|Endorsed Independent Event Trainers Pack 2024|2024 Endorsed Independent Event Trainers Packs}}, which began to be distributed by Event Organizers at events from January 2024.

Another Japanese promotional reprint was made available as a participation prize for {{TCG|Triplet Beat}} {{TCG|Sealed format|Sealed Battle}} events. These events were held at eligible Pokémon Card Gym locations from March 10, 2023 and ran for as long as stocks lasted.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/003802.html ''パックを開けて、すぐバトル！シールド戦　トリプレットビート！'' | Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230314180315/https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/003802.html archived])</ref> This print has the collection number 045/SV-P and features the Sealed Battle event logo. In Japan, it was reprinted again in six of the {{TCG|ex Start Decks}}, the {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame Deck Build Box}}, the {{TCG|Raging Surf}} subset, and the {{TCG|Terastal Starter Set Skeledirge ex}}.

For the high-end {{TCG|Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic}} deck kit, which was released in October 2023, this card was reprinted in Holofoil with its {{TCG|Sun & Moon}} artwork. This reprint lacks a regulation mark and is thus not legal for tournament play. The Regular Scarlet & Violet print was then reprinted again in Japan in the {{TCG|Venusaur & Charizard & Blastoise Special Deck Set ex}}, the {{TCG|Shiny Treasure ex}} subset (prompting an inclusion in the {{TCG|Paldean Fates}} expansion), both {{TCG|Starter Deck & Build Sets}}, the {{TCG|Pokémon Card Game Battle Academy}} Deck Kit, both {{TCG|Battle Master Decks}}, the {{TCG|Stellar Miracle Deck Build Box}}, the {{TCG|Generations Start Decks}}, the {{TCG|Battle Partners Deck Build Box}}, the {{TCG|ex Starter Set Marnie's Morpeko & Grimmsnarl ex}}, and the {{TCG|ex Starter Set Steven's Beldum & Metagross ex}}.

In Japan, the Regular Scarlet & Violet print was reprinted twice more as {{TCG|SV-P Promotional cards}}. The first of these, numbered 159/SV-P, was one of seven cards available in {{TCGMerch|Scarlet & Violet|Era|Pokémon Card Gym Promo Card Pack 6}}, which was distributed at Pokémon Card Gym venues able to do so from April 26, 2024.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/004422.html プロモカードパック第6弾、公開！ | Pokémon Card Game Trainers Website] ([https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://www.pokemon-card.com/info/004422.html archived])</ref> This print features the Pokémon Card Gym logo.

Certified Event Organizers distributed these packs at events they oversaw starting March 1, 2025.<ref>[https://x.com/nekowaruff/status/1895757177488621771 朗（あきら） on Twitter] ([https://archive.is/4HdFi archived])</ref> This print features the Event Organizer logo like its counterpart available in the 2023 and 2024 packs.

===Mega Evolution Series===
In the Mega Evolution Series, this card is reprinted with a new "I" regulation mark as a Regular card and a {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} ultra rare card in the {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion. The Regular print featured the same artwork as the Scarlet & Violet Series Regular print of the card, and was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Premium Trainer Box MEGA}}.

==Rulings==
*In Black & White, an erratum was issued for this card, which means it can't evolve a Basic Pokémon into a Stage 1 Pokémon, or evolve a Pokémon during the player's first turn or the turn the Pokémon was put into play.
**The Rare Candy with the new effect would not be printed until Dark Explorers.
**Because of this erratum, this card's effect now matches that of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}}, a card previously released in the {{TCG|Base Set}}.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
*[[Rare Candy]] is an [[item]] in the [[Pokémon games]] that increases the [[level]] of the Pokémon it is given to by 1. It can also be used to [[Evolution|evolve]] non-fully evolved level 100 [[Methods of Evolution#Leveling up|Pokémon that evolve by leveling up]] from [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] onwards.
**The Pokémon GO print features the Rare Candy as seen in [[Pokémon GO]], which is an item that can be turned into a specific Pokémon's {{GO|Candy}} when used on that Pokémon.

Aeos Shield

2026-02-18T19:14:48Z

Dougbro1: /* Usage */ Zacian using Behemoth Bash?

{{incomplete|<nowiki/>article}}
{{missing image}}
The '''Aeos Shield''' is an item in [[Pokémon UNITE]] that is exclusive to [[Boss Rush]]. It has a flat, purple-and-orange body with an eye resembling that of an {{p|Unown}}. When used, it expands and emits a blue light barrier, similar to {{UNITE|Mr. Mime}}'s, which turns orange when blocking an attack from a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Usage==
An Aeos Shield can be used to protect one player from {{UNITE|Zacian}}'s {{m|Behemoth Blade}} in Boss Rush. When used by a player, the user cannot move, but the Aeos Shield can be rotated in any direction. Aeos Shields are temporary and stop when Zacian stops attacking. The Aeos Shield will have no effect if it is not pointed towards the attack.

Draft:Trade (TCG Pocket)

2026-02-18T19:11:04Z

Dougbro1:

'''Trade''' (Japanese: '''トレード''' ''trade'') is a feature in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] that allows players to exchange cards from their collection with registered friends via the Social Hub. It was added to the game with the update to version 1.1.0 on January 29, 2025.

A player can only have one active trade offer at a time; if the player is in a trade, they cannot send or receive trade offers.

== Trade stamina ==
[[File:TCGP Icon Trade Stamina.png|thumb|120px|right|Trade stamina]]
In order to carry out a trade, each trade partner must consume one '''trade stamina''' (Japanese: トレードパワー ''trade power''). Players can usually have a maximum of five trade stamina at once; when players have fewer than five, it will recover over time, at a rate of one trade stamina every 24 hours. Players can consume items to speed up the process: one '''Trade Hourglass''' (Japanese: トレード砂時計 ''Trade Hourglass'') will recover one hour, while one Poké gold will recover four hours; and by consuming items, players can temporarily extend their trade stamina and be able to hold up to eight at once.

One trade stamina is required to offer up a card for trade; if the trade is cancelled, or not completed within 48 hours, the stamina will be returned.

[[File:Trade TCG Pocket.png|200px|thumb|Trade of {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Nidoking|241}} and {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Nidoqueen|240}} before it takes place]]

Trading consumes [[Shinedust]], depending on the card's rarity. It used to consume [[Trade Token]]s until July 30, 2025.

* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|1}} and {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|2}}: Free
* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|3}}: 1200 units of Shinedust or 120 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|4}}: 5000 units of Shinedust or 500 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Star|1}}: 4000 units of Shinedust or 400 Trade Tokens
* Cards of other rarities cannot be traded. This also includes promo cards.

The traded cards must have the same rarity. If a card has [[flair]], it can only be traded for a card with flair. Cards from the most recent [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket expansions|expansion]] cannot be traded until the next one is released.

To trade a card, the player chooses a tradable card from their collection and sends a trade offer for that card. A 48-hour timer starts. During that time, the card is removed from the My Cards section of the app, and the other partner may send a card to be traded. Once both parties accept the trade, the cards are sent over. If no trade agreement is reached once the timer runs out, or if either player presses the "Decline" button, the cards and items are returned.

The player can block receiving trade offers in the settings. Even if they are blocking, they can still send offers themselves. The game also keeps a history of the last 30 trades conducted by the player over the past 90 days.

'''Pokémon Local Acts''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンローカルActs''' ''Pokémon Local Acts'') is an initiative to promote several {{wp|prefectures of Japan}} through various [[Pokémon]]-themed campaigns.

The Ambassadorial Pokémon act as mascots for the area, promoting tourism and exports.

Methods of Evolution

2026-01-12T23:07:19Z

Dougbro1: Added info for Pokémon UNITE

There are numerous '''methods of Evolution''' which define how and when {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution|evolve]]. Most Pokémon will evolve by leveling up while others evolve through specific means, such as being traded, achieving a certain amount of friendship or leveling at certain times, among others.

==In the core series games==
In the [[core series]] games, Pokémon normally only evolve after one of three events:
*[[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|Gaining a level]]
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve by using an item|Being exposed to an item}} (such as an [[Evolution stone]])
*{{cat|Pokémon that evolve through trading|Being traded}}

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], the above were the only triggers to evolve Pokémon. However, {{g|Sword and Shield}} introduced four new triggers, each only used by a very select few Pokémon species:
*Spinning and striking a pose with the Pokémon in the party
*The Pokémon performing a specific action in battle
*Traveling through a specific location with the Pokémon in the party
*Observing a specific object in a specific location with the Pokémon in the party

When the appropriate trigger occurs, if the Pokémon meets the requirements to evolve, it will do so. However, if a Pokémon meets the trigger in battle, it will only evolve after the battle ends.

The [[Everstone]] prevents a Pokémon's Evolution:
*In Generation II, a Pokémon holding an Everstone (including Kadabra) cannot evolve by any method.
*In Generation III, trade Evolutions are affected by the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|held item loss glitch}}: if {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}}, or {{p|Haunter}} is traded while holding any item (including an Everstone), that Pokémon will evolve and its held item will be permanently lost.
*From [[Generation IV]] onwards, the Everstone does not prevent a Pokémon evolving via [[Evolution stone]]. It also fails to prevent {{p|Kadabra}} from evolving.
*If either {{p|Karrablast}} or {{p|Shelmet}} holds an Everstone when traded for the other, neither can evolve.

===Leveling up===
[[Level]]ing up is the most common trigger for Evolution. Evolution by level up can be triggered by gaining [[experience]] in battle or by using a [[Rare Candy]]; leveling up in [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[PokéPelago|Isle Evelup]] will not trigger Evolution, although Pokémon leveled up in these ways can still evolve if leveled up by battle or a Rare Candy afterwards. All Pokémon that evolve by leveling up have at least one requirement that must be met when leveled up in order to evolve, the most common being that the Pokémon must be at least a specific level after leveling up. Other requirements include knowing a specific move, being in a specific location, or holding a specific item. A Pokémon that meets its level-up Evolution requirements will always attempt to evolve when it is leveled up in battle or by using a Rare Candy, regardless of whether it had previously been prevented from evolving.

If a Pokémon levels up in battle, it will not evolve until the battle is over. A Pokémon can only evolve once after a battle or consuming a Rare Candy, even if it gained multiple levels. Even if a Pokémon is fainted at the end of the battle, if it leveled up when it met its Evolution requirements during the battle, it will still evolve, but will not be revived from [[fainting]]. The player's Pokémon will not evolve if player loses the battle, except in Generations {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}.

Starting in [[Generation VIII]], if a [[Rare Candy]] is used on a level 100 Pokémon that evolves by leveling up and currently meets its Evolution requirements, it will evolve (without gaining a level).

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Evolution can be performed at any time as long as the conditions are met, instead of requiring a level up.

In the case of all those Evolutions by leveling up, the player can press B during the Evolution cutscene to [[Evolution prevention|cancel the Evolution]].

====At or above a certain level====
{{main|Level-based Evolution}}
Most Pokémon evolve when they reach or surpass a certain level. Once such a Pokémon has reached the required level, unless there are other requirements for its Evolution, it will attempt to evolve after every battle in which it levels up and every time it gains a level from a Rare Candy.

|}{{-}}

====When friendship is high====
{{main|Friendship Evolution}}
Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up with a [[friendship]] of at least 220. Like friendship itself, this evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation II]]. As long as the Pokémon has the required amount of friendship, unless there are other requirements for its Evolution, it will attempt to evolve whenever it levels up by battle or Rare Candy.

[[Baby Pokémon]] often have this Evolution requirement, but it is also an Evolution requirement for other Pokémon, and not all baby Pokémon have this as an Evolution requirement.

|}{{-}}

====When the Pokémon knows a certain move====
{{main|Move-based Evolution}}
Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up and know a certain move or certain type of move. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

If the Pokémon learns the required move by leveling up, that same level up can trigger the Evolution. However, if a Pokémon learns a move by level up and overwrites the required move, such that it no longer knows the required move at the end of the battle (or after completing the level up in the case of a Rare Candy), it cannot evolve.

These moves are commonly available by leveling up, although some are only learned at level 1, so they normally must be taught by the [[Move Reminder]].

| style="{{roundy}} background: #{{ground color light}}" | [[File:473Mamoswine.png|96px]] {{pcolor|Mamoswine|{{ground color dark}}}}
|}{{-}}

====In certain locations====
{{main|Location-based Evolution}}
Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up in certain locations. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

There are four different types of location that can trigger location-based Evolutions: [[Moss Rock]], [[Ice Rock]], [[special magnetic field]], and [[Mount Lanakila]]. Mount Lanakila, which is only required for {{p|Crabrawler}}'s Evolution, is the only one which is a specific location rather than a type of location.

{{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} lack the locations needed for location-based Evolutions, making them impossible within those games. Starting in [[Generation VIII]], although some games still feature location-based Evolution and others do not, it is possible to instead use [[Evolution stone]]s to evolve these Pokémon (except for {{p|Nosepass}} and {{p|Eevee}}'s Evolutions into {{p|Probopass}} and {{p|Glaceon}} respectively in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}).

|}{{-}}

====In a certain region====
{{main|Region-based Evolution}}
Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up in a specific [[region]]. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation VII]].

Pokémon that evolve this way may also need other conditions, such as requiring it to be a specific time of day. Some Pokémon evolve into different forms depending on what region they are in.

|}{{-}}

====At certain times====
{{main|Time-based Evolution}}
Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up at a certain time of day. Like the [[time]] mechanic itself, this evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation II]].

The time of day is only ever one of several requirements, never the only one. Other requirements it is combined with include having high [[friendship]] or holding a specific [[held item]].

Due to the lack of a time system in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Pokémon whose Evolution depends on the time cannot evolve.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, time is pre-set outside the [[Wild Area]] before becoming {{pkmn|Champion}}. This also influences Evolution.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{dragon color}}; background: #{{rock color}};"

| style="{{roundy}} background: #{{dragon color light}}" | [[File:697Tyrantrum.png|96px]] {{pcolor|Tyrantrum|{{dragon color dark}}}}
|}{{-}}

====While holding an item====
:''See also: [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve by leveling up with a held item]]''
Some Pokémon evolve when they are leveled up while holding a specific [[Evolution item]]. If a Pokémon evolves this way, the item disappears upon completion of the Evolution; the item is not consumed if the Evolution is cancelled. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

All Pokémon that evolve this way also require that they be leveled up at a specific time of day to be evolved.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{ice color}}; background: #{{dark color}};"
|-

| style="{{roundy}} background: #{{ice color light}}" | [[File:461Weavile.png|96px]] {{pcolor|Weavile|{{ice color dark}}}}
|}{{-}}

====If the Pokémon is a certain gender====
{{main|Gender-based Evolution}}
The Evolution of some Pokémon that evolve when they are leveled up is dependent on the Pokémon's gender. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

{{p|Combee}} and {{p|Salandit}} can evolve only if they are [[Gender|female]] (males cannot evolve). {{p|Burmy}} evolves into either {{p|Mothim}} or {{p|Wormadam}}, depending on whether it is male or female, respectively.

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{flying color}}; background: #{{bug color}};"

| style="{{roundy}} background: #{{flying color light}}" | [[File:416Vespiquen.png|96px]] {{pcolor|Vespiquen|{{flying color dark}}}}
|}{{-}}

====In a certain game====
{{main|Game-based Evolution}}
The Evolution of {{p|Rockruff}} and {{p|Cosmoem}} is dependent on the game they are leveled up in. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation VII]].

Cosmoem will evolve into either {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}} depending on the game it is leveled up in. {{p|Rockruff}} will always evolve into {{p|Lycanroc}}, but, prior to [[Generation VIII]], Lycanroc's form depends on the game Rockruff was evolved in, and Rockruff's Evolution can only occur at certain times of day (Midday Form requires it be daytime while Midnight Form requires it be nighttime); furthermore, special Rockruff that have {{a|Own Tempo}} can only evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc, which is not dependent on the game. Starting in [[Generation VIII]], the form Lycanroc becomes is no longer version-exclusive.

====Using the Let's Go! feature====
:''See also: [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve using the Let's Go! feature]]''
This Evolution method was introduced in [[Generation IX]]. Some Pokémon may evolve upon level up after using the [[Let's Go!]] feature to walk 1000 total steps (Beware of the [[Step_counting#Generation_IX | step counting]] bug).

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; {{roundy}} border: 2px solid #{{bug color dark}}; background: #{{bug color}};"

====Unique conditions====
:''See also: [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve through a unique method]]''
The following Pokémon evolve through a method that is isolated to their Evolution line only.

* In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} only, {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with a [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]], respectively, in the player's [[Bag]]. Only one of the two items can be obtained per game.
* Eevee evolves into {{p|Sylveon}} when leveled up while knowing a {{type|Fairy}} move and having at least two levels of [[affection]]{{gen|VI}}–{{gen|VII}} or high friendship{{gen|VIII}}+.
* {{p|Mantyke}} evolves into {{p|Mantine}} when leveled up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the player's party.
* {{p|Feebas}} evolves into {{p|Milotic}} when leveled up with its {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}} [[Contest condition|condition]] at 170 or above. Starting from [[Generation V]], it also evolves into Milotic when [[trade]]d while holding a [[Prism Scale]].
* When {{p|Nincada}} evolves into {{p|Ninjask}} (which it does starting at level 20), if there is an empty slot in the party, a {{p|Shedinja}} will appear. From [[Generation IV]] onward, the player must also have a spare standard {{i|Poké Ball}} in their Bag.
* {{p|Pancham}} evolves into {{p|Pangoro}} starting at level 32 if there is a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the party.
* {{p|Inkay}} evolves into {{p|Malamar}} starting at level 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down. On the [[Nintendo Switch]], this can only be accomplished in handheld mode.
* {{p|Sliggoo}} evolves into {{p|Goodra}} starting at level 50 during [[rain]] (or [[fog]]{{gen|VII}}) in the overworld. (Rain that is only present in battle will not trigger the Evolution.)
** In [[Hisui]], Sliggoo evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Goodra starting at level 50 during rain in the overworld.
* {{p|Finizen}} evolves into {{p|Palafin}} starting at level 38 when leveled up while connected with another player via the [[Union Circle]].
* {{p|Bisharp}} evolves into {{p|Kingambit}} when leveled up after defeating three Bisharp that hold a [[Leader's Crest]].
* {{p|Gimmighoul}} evolves into {{p|Gholdengo}} when leveled up while the player has 999 [[Gimmighoul Coin]]s in their Bag. This consumes the Gimmighoul Coins, and the Evolution cannot be canceled.

====Additional factors====
Some Pokémon with branched Evolutions can evolve into one of multiple different Pokémon or different forms of the same Pokémon depending on other factors, but still have the same Evolution requirements for all of these possibilities.

*{{p|Burmy}} evolves starting at level 20, but its evolved form is determined by its gender and, if female, its cloak. As Burmy, its cloak changes according to the place where it last battled but has no effect on Burmy itself; once it evolves into Wormadam, its cloak no longer changes, and its types and the moves it can learn are dependent on its cloak.
**Male Burmy → {{p|Mothim}}
**Female Burmy → {{p|Wormadam}}
***Female Plant Cloak Burmy → Plant Cloak Wormadam ({{t|Bug}}/{{t|Grass}})
***Female Sandy Cloak Burmy → Sandy Cloak Wormadam ({{t|Bug}}/{{t|Ground}})
***Female Trash Cloak Burmy → Trash Cloak Wormadam ({{t|Bug}}/{{t|Steel}})

*{{p|Tyrogue}} evolves starting at level 20, depending on its stats.
**{{p|Hitmonlee}} if Attack > Defense
**{{p|Hitmonchan}} if Attack < Defense
**{{p|Hitmontop}} if Attack = Defense

*{{p|Wurmple}} evolves into {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}} starting at level 7, depending on its [[personality value]]. It is a hidden value determined when the Pokémon is encountered and cannot be seen or affected by the player.

*{{p|Dunsparce}} evolves into {{p|Dudunsparce}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|Hyper Drill}}. The form of Dudunsparce it evolves into depends on its [[personality value|encryption constant]]. Since this value cannot be influenced or seen by the player, what a given Dunsparce will evolve into is essentially random — with a 1/100 chance of evolving into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Dudunsparce|Three-Segment Form]] Dudunsparce.

*{{p|Tandemaus}} evolves into {{p|Maushold}} starting at level 25, but if Tandemaus is not sent out in the battle it levels up in, the Evolution animation will be skipped. The form of Maushold it evolves into depends on its [[personality value|encryption constant]]. Since this value cannot be influenced or seen by the player, what a given Tandemaus will evolve into is essentially random — with a 1/100 chance of evolving into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Maushold|Family of Three]] Maushold.

===Using an item===
Some Pokémon evolve when they are exposed to a specific item. The player can use one of these items on a compatible Pokémon at any time outside of battle, which consumes the item. From Generation IV onwards, Evolution by exposure to an item cannot be prevented by holding an [[Everstone]]. Due to being able to evolve at any time, these Pokémon usually learn fewer or no moves by level up after evolving; however, in Generation VIII, even if they do not learn any additional moves by level-up, they normally can still be taught any move their pre-evolved form could learn by level up by the [[Move Reminder]].

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}} only, Pokémon that would normally evolve while holding a particular item (including by leveling up while holding a specific item) instead evolve when exposed to that item.

====Evolution stone====
{{main|Evolution stone}}
:''See also: [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stone]]''
The most common type of item that can trigger this kind of Evolution is an Evolution stone (and was the only type that could, prior to [[Generation VIII]]). Despite its name, the [[Oval Stone]] is not an Evolution stone, because it triggers Evolution as a [[held item]] rather than by being used directly.

=====If the Pokémon is a certain gender=====
{{main|Gender-based Evolution}}
While most Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stone have no additional requirements, some Pokémon that evolve this way can only evolve if they are a specific gender. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation IV]].

The only two Evolutions with this requirement are {{p|Kirlia}}'s Evolution into {{p|Gallade}} (which requires that it be male) and {{p|Snorunt}}'s Evolution into {{p|Froslass}} (which requires that it be female). These two Evolutions are the only Evolutions to use the [[Dawn Stone]].

=====In a certain region=====
{{main|Region-based Evolution}}
While most Pokémon that evolve by Evolution stone have no additional requirements, some Pokémon can evolve into a different form when they use an Evolution stone in a specific [[region]]. This evolutionary requirement was introduced in [[Generation VII]].

===Trading===
{{main|Trade Evolution}}
Some Pokémon evolve when they are [[trade]]d. The Evolution starts immediately after the trade is completed, regardless of the method of trading used. However, sometimes there are additional conditions.

In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Pokémon that evolve by trade sometimes evolve after being temporarily in a different person's possession, like [[Misty's Politoed]] being with [[Nurse Joy]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] and [[Brock's Steelix]] when he lent Onix to his brother [[Forrest]].

====Trade holding a certain item====
:''See also: [[:Category:Pokémon that evolve by trading with a held item]]''
Some Pokémon evolve when traded while holding a specific [[Evolution item]]. If a Pokémon evolves this way, the item disappears upon completion of the Evolution. This method of Evolution was introduced in [[Generation II]] (the same generation that introduced held items in general).

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Pokémon that evolve when traded while holding a specific item can be evolved without trading by using their Evolution item from the player's satchel.

====Trading for a certain Pokémon====
Some Pokémon evolve when traded with a specific Pokémon. Only two Pokémon do this so far and evolve each other through this method. This method of Evolution was introduced in [[Generation V]]. If either Pokémon holds an [[Everstone]], neither can evolve.

===Unique triggers===
[[Generation VIII]] introduced several unique triggers for newly introduced Pokémon and [[regional form]]s. These triggers are all exclusive to a single Pokémon.

* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Farfetch'd}} evolves into {{p|Sirfetch'd}} after it lands three [[critical hit]]s in a single battle.
* {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}} evolves into {{p|Runerigus}} when the player travels under certain arches in the overworld after Yamask takes at least 49 [[HP]] in [[damage]] without [[fainting]]. In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the arch to evolve Galarian Yamask is a rock formation in the [[Dusty Bowl]]; in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, it is the bridges above the [[Coulant Waterway]].
* {{p|Milcery}} evolves into {{p|Alcremie}} when the player spins and strikes a pose while Milcery holds a [[Sweet]]. Unless Milcery is {{Shiny}}, Alcremie's color depends on the [[Time-based Evolution|time]] of day, the length of the spin, and the direction of the spin; if Milcery is {{Shiny}}, Alcremie takes on its sole Shiny coloration. Alcremie's Sweet corresponds to the Sweet Milcery held. Milcery evolves into:

** Vanilla Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
** Ruby Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds during the day.
** Matcha Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
** Mint Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
** Lemon Cream Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds at night.
** Salted Cream Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for less than 5 seconds at night.
** Ruby Swirl Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
** Caramel Swirl Alcremie after spinning clockwise for more than 5 seconds during the day.
** Rainbow Swirl Alcremie after spinning counterclockwise for more than 10 seconds during the evening (between 7 and 7:59 PM in real-time in {{g|Sword and Shield}}).
* {{p|Kubfu}} evolves into {{p|Urshifu}} when shown the scroll in one of the [[Towers of Two Fists]]. The {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Urshifu|form}} it evolves into depends on the tower it is trained in. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Kubfu instead uses a specific Scroll to evolve. Unlike most Evolution items, the Scroll is not consumed after use.
** Kubfu evolves into Urshifu Single Strike Style when trained in the [[Tower of Darkness]]. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Kubfu evolves into Urshifu Single Strike Style when exposed to the [[Scroll of Darkness]].
** Kubfu evolves into Urshifu Rapid Strike Style when trained in the [[Tower of Waters]]. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Kubfu evolves into Urshifu Rapid Strike Style when exposed to the [[Scroll of Waters]].
* {{p|Stantler}} evolves into {{p|Wyrdeer}} after using {{m|Psyshield Bash}} in the [[Move mastery|agile style]] at least 20 times. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Stantler cannot evolve (it is programmed to evolve when leveled up after using Psyshield Bash at least 20 times, but this Evolution method is disabled).
* {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Basculin|White-Striped}} {{p|Basculin}} evolves into {{p|Basculegion}} after losing at least 294 {{Stat#HP|HP}} from [[Recoil|recoil damage]], not counting damage that results in it fainting. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, White-Striped Basculin must level up after losing at least 294 HP from recoil damage in order to evolve.
* {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}} evolves into {{p|Overqwil}} after using {{m|Barb Barrage}} in the [[Move mastery|strong style]] at least 20 times. In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (starting in Version 3.0.0), Hisuian Qwilfish evolves when leveled up while knowing Barb Barrage.
* {{p|Primeape}} evolves into {{p|Annihilape}} when leveled up after using {{m|Rage Fist}} at least 20 times.

===Can only evolve in other games===
{{p|Meltan}}, which first appeared in the core series games in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], cannot be evolved in the core series games. Instead, it can only be evolved in {{g|GO}}, where it can be evolved by pressing the "Evolve" button on Meltan's profile screen and spending 400 Meltan {{OBP|Candy|GO}}.

|}{{-}}

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, there is no time system:

* In Colosseum, Pokémon whose Evolution depends on the time cannot evolve.
* In XD, Evolutions that depend on the time of day instead depend on the [[Sun Shard]] and [[Moon Shard]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|List of Pokémon by evolutionary line in Pokémon GO}}
In {{g|GO}}, the only way to evolve Pokémon is to press the "Evolve" button on that Pokémon's profile page. All Pokémon (except {{p|Gimmighoul}}) require the player spend a specific amount of their own {{OBP|Candy|GO}} to evolve them, but some have additional requirements.

Some Evolutions require an item in addition to the Candy cost. All Evolutions that require an [[Evolution item]] other than an [[Evolution stone]] (except {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Clamperl}}) or [[Sun Stone]] to evolve in the core series require an item to be spent in Pokémon GO. For Evolutions introduced in Generation II, the item required is the same as in the core series. All [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolutions]] introduced in [[Generation IV]], except location-based Evolutions, require a [[Sinnoh Stone]] to evolve. All Evolutions introduced in Generation V that require an Evolution stone in the core series (except a Sun Stone) require a [[Unova Stone]] in Pokémon GO; Generation V Evolutions that require a Sun Stone in the core series also require it in Pokémon GO.

From January 10, 2020 onward, certain Pokémon do not cost any Candy to evolve if they are traded. These Pokémon are {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Boldore}}, {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Karrablast}}, {{p|Shelmet}}, {{p|Pumpkaboo}}, and {{p|Phantump}}.

Some Pokémon cannot be evolved until the player has met certain conditions while walking with them as [[Buddy Pokémon]]. This requirement is noted under the "Evolve" button.
*{{p|Feebas}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, Hisuian {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Happiny}}, {{p|Woobat}} and {{p|Pawmo}} require a sufficient distance walked (the specific distance varies between species).
*Galarian {{p|Slowpoke}}, {{p|Pancham}}, and {{p|Poipole}} require Pokémon of specific types to be caught.
*{{p|Primeape}} and {{p|Charcadet}} require Pokémon of specific types to be defeated.
*Hisuian {{p|Qwilfish}} and Galarian {{p|Yamask}} require a certain number of raids to be completed.
*{{p|Bisharp}} and {{p|Kubfu}} require opponents of certain types to be defeated in {{GO|Raid Battle}}s or [[Max Battle]]s.
*{{p|Swirlix}}, {{p|Spritzee}}, Galarian {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Floette}} each have unique requirements.

For some species of Pokémon with branched Evolutions, there are multiple "Evolve" buttons, allowing the player to choose which Pokémon to evolve into. The different buttons may have different requirements, such as one button requiring an item while another does not.

Despite having branched Evolutions, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and {{p|Clamperl}} only have a single button. Some of them have no indication of which Pokémon it will evolve into in most cases.
*Normally, if the player evolves Eevee, it will randomly evolve into one of {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}}. However, if the player meets a special requirement, the player can influence its Evolution.
**If the player is in range of a [[Mossy Lure Module]] or [[Glacial Lure Module]], Eevee will evolve into Glaceon or Leafeon, respectively. In this case, the Evolution button will indicate which Pokémon Eevee will evolve into.
**Once per nickname, if an Eevee has one of several special [[nickname]]s when evolved, it will evolve into a specific Pokémon. If the Eevee is nicknamed "{{DL|Eevee brothers|Rainer}}", "{{DL|Eevee brothers|Sparky}}", "{{DL|Eevee Brothers|Pyro}}", "[[Sakura]]", "{{DL|Kimono Girl|In animation|Tamao}}", "{{DL|Eevee users|Leafeon User Linnea|Linnea}}", "{{DL|Eevee users|Glaceon User Rea|Rea}}", or "{{DL|Eevee users|Sylveon User Kira|Kira}}" it will evolve into Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon, respectively. Once the player has evolved an Eevee using one of these nicknames, that nickname will no longer have any impact on Eevee's Evolution.
**If Eevee is currently the [[Buddy Pokémon]] and the player has earned at least 70 affection hearts, it will evolve into {{p|Sylveon}}.
**If Eevee is currently the [[Buddy Pokémon]] and has obtained at least 2 Candy for the player, it will evolve into {{p|Espeon}} during Day Mode or {{p|Umbreon}} during Night Mode.
*The Pokémon {{p|Tyrogue}} evolves into depends on its highest {{IV}}. It will evolve into {{p|Hitmonlee}} if it is Attack, {{p|Hitmonchan}} if it is Defense, or {{p|Hitmontop}} if it is HP. Unless there is a tie, the Evolution button will indicate which Pokémon it will evolve into. If there is a tie, the tie is broken randomly.
*{{p|Wurmple}} evolves into either {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}} at random.
*{{p|Clamperl}} evolves into either {{p|Huntail}} or {{p|Gorebyss}} at random.

===Pokémon UNITE===
In [[Pokémon UNITE]], all Pokémon [[level-based Evolution|evolve by level]]. This occurs at different levels than those in the core series games. For instance, a Lv. 5 Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur, and a Lv. 7 Ivysaur evolves into {{UNITE|Venusaur}}. This also applies to Pokémon that would evolve using a different method in the core series games, such as a Lv. 4 Clefairy evolving into {{UNITE|Clefable}} (instead of using a [[Moon Stone]] for this Evolution).
*An exception to this is {{p|Magikarp}}, which only evolves into {{UNITE|Gyarados}} once its effort gauge is filled by making contributions in battle.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{incomplete|section|Add WiiWare}}
{{main|Evolution (Mystery Dungeon)}}

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], several methods of Evolution work as in the core series games, but some are replaced by items and other game mechanics.

As soon as a Pokémon meets the requirements, it can evolve in the [[Luminous Cave]],{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|dx}} in the [[Luminous Spring]],{{sup/md|tds}} at the [[Tree of Life]],{{sup/md|smd}} or anywhere.{{sup/md|gti}} However, there are no [[trade]]s, [[held item]]s, or [[location-based Evolution]]s. Due to the lack of held items, all Evolution items used are stored in the player's [[Toolbox]], [[Pokémon Exploration Team Kit]], or [[Rescue Team Starter Set]].

===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Evolution Item (Pinball)}}
In {{g|Pinball}} and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}, once the Evolution Mode or Evo Mode starts and the player chooses a Pokémon to evolve, then three instances of the same {{OBP|Evolution Item|Pinball}} appear somewhere on the table, one at a time. The player is required to get the three repeated Evolution Items before the time runs up in order to evolve the chosen Pokémon. For instance, if the player attempts to evolve a {{p|Vulpix}} into {{p|Ninetales}}, they will be required to find three [[Fire Stone]]s on the table. Most available Pokémon evolve by [[experience]], which requires getting three "Ex" Evolution Items. If the Pokémon evolves by [[trade]] in the core series, then the player needs to get three [[Game Link Cable|Link Cable]] Evolution Items.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], although no methods of Evolution are mentioned in-game, the card game includes the possibility of evolving any of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon]]. Their method of Evolution in the core series is Evolution by level.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Munchlax}}'s trophy correctly implies that it can [[friendship Evolution|evolve by friendship]]: ''"Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''

==In the TCG==
{{main|Evolution#In the TCG|Evolution → In the TCG}}

In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, there are no different methods needed to evolve a {{TCG|Pokémon}}, but instead, all Pokémon evolve simply by placing an Evolution Pokémon on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into. For instance, if the player has a {{TCG|Ekans}} card in play, it evolves when a {{TCG|Arbok}} card is placed on top of it. There are multiple ways for that to occur.

Most commonly, Evolution Pokémon can be played from a player's [[hand]] to evolve a Pokémon. This cannot be done to evolve a Pokémon on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play. Evolving counts as entering play, so a Pokémon that has evolved or [[Devolution|devolved]] once during a turn cannot be evolved this way a second time.

The card {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} from {{TCG|Base Set}} allows for a {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} in the hand to evolve from a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} of the same evolutionary line, although only in situations where the Basic Pokémon is allowed to evolve. (Usually, but not always, this means Pokémon Breeder does not work on the first turn of the game or on a Basic Pokémon during the turn it enters play.) This effect essentially skips the {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} of an evolutionary line and allows for a Stage 2 Pokémon to enter play a turn sooner than otherwise possible.

The card {{TCG|Rare Candy}} allows for the process of Evolution from hand to be sped up in some manner. Its effect was changed starting in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}. Before that set, when played, Rare Candy allows a player to evolve a Basic Pokémon into either a Stage 1 Pokémon in their hand that evolves from that Pokémon, or a Stage 2 Pokémon in their hand of the same evolutionary line. This was allowed to occur even on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play. From Dark Explorers onward, an {{TCG|errata}} makes the card act nearly precisely the same way Pokémon Breeder from Base Set does, only allowing a Stage 2 Pokémon from hand to evolve from the Basic Pokémon of that evolutionary line following normal rules about evolving from the hand.

Some other {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, like {{TCG ID|XY|Evosoda|116}}, cause a Pokémon to evolve. Usually, they search another zone like the [[deck]] to find a card that evolves from the Pokémon being evolved. Most of these effects cannot evolve a Pokémon on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play, as per their own text, but a rare few cards such as {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Boost Shake|142}} and {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Wally's Training|89}} are allowed to. (Newer renditions of this effect explicitly say that they can be used on the first turn of the game or on the same turn a Pokémon enters play.)

Some {{TCG|attack}}s, {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s, and {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} can cause a Pokémon in play to evolve. It does not have to be the Pokémon using the attack, Pokemon Power, or Ability. These effects are usually not restricted by the current turn. Recurring examples of this are the Baby Evolution Poké-Power, the Ascension attack, and the Ultra Evolution attack. These effects usually ignore turn restrictions. Some of them allow for evolving into a Pokémon that does not normally evolve from the Pokémon that is evolving. One example of this is Baby Evolution allowing [[Baby Pokémon]] that are Basic Pokémon to evolve into their evolved forms that are also Basic Pokémon, even though Basic Pokémon do not evolve from any other Pokémon. Another example is that Ultra Evolution, which works like Rare Candy in that it allows a Basic Pokémon to evolve into the Stage 2 Pokémon of its evolutionary line.

Some cards reference methods of Evolution found in the core series, such as the {{OBP|Moon Stone|Vending S1}}, {{OBP|Dusk Stone|Unbroken Bonds 167}}, {{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Pancham|59}}, and {{TCG ID|XY|Inkay|74}}. Not all cards referencing methods of Evolution have an effect which evolves a Pokémon.

In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game#HeartGold & SoulSilver Series|HeartGold and SoulSilver Series]], the art for {{TCG|Pokémon}} that have evolved in the [[core series]] by either using an item, leveling up while holding an item, or being traded while holding an item included their respective [[Evolution item]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/heartgold-amp-soulsilver Pokémon.com]</ref>

The Evolution procedure from the real-life card game is used in {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], [[Pokémon Play It!]], [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{g|Trading Card Game Online}}, and {{g|Trading Card Game Live}}.

==Trivia==
* {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}} are the only [[core series]] titles to have the methods of Evolution required for some included {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} be completely unavailable.
** Pokémon whose method of Evolution [[#At certain times|depends on the time]] ({{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}) cannot be evolved into in FireRed and LeafGreen. While a {{p|Feebas}} traded in with the {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}} [[Contest condition|condition]] requirement already met can still evolve, there is no way to evolve one traded in without as that's its only method of Evolution and there is no way to affect Contest conditions in these games.
** Pokémon whose method of Evolution [[#In certain locations|depends on a specific location]] ({{p|Magnezone}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Probopass}}) cannot be evolved into in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
** Pokémon who debuted in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] whose previous Evolution has no form difference ({{p|Ursaluna}}, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Wyrdeer}}) cannot be evolved into in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

RayEels (TCG)

2025-12-13T15:39:02Z

}}

'''RayEels''' is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} that was popularly played in the 2012-2013 season. The deck's strategy revolves around charging {{TCG|Bench}}ed {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza-EX|85}} with Energy to power up its ''Dragon Burst'' {{TCG|Attack}} and Knock Out any opposing Pokémon in one attack. This deck was known for its straightforwardness and ease to play for beginner players. Rayquaza-EX was also one of the few Pokémon that could Knock Out virtually any {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} in one attack without needing to hit for Weakness. RayEels ranked 2nd place in the Seniors Division at the [[2013 World Championships|2013 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]] but, despite struggling against decks with {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Garbodor|54}}, had better results in other events beforehand. Juniors Division runner-up Clément Lamberton's version was printed as a promotional World Championships deck, {{TCG|Anguille Sous Roche}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:ProfessorJuniperDarkExplorers98.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Professor Juniper|98}}]]
RayEels is similar to other decks that use {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Eelektrik|40}}'s ''Dynamotor'' {{TCG|Ability}} to charge Benched Pokémon with {{e|Lightning}} Energy from the discard pile. Rayquaza-EX takes advantage of this engine, as its attack discards these Energy cards, but unlike most other attackers in Eelektrik decks, it also needs at least one {{e|Fire}} Energy attached to deal damage. Its ''Dragon Burst'' attack discards either all {{e|Lightning}} or {{e|Fire}} Energy attached to it to deal 60 damage for each discarded card. With three {{e|Lightning}} Energy attached (plus one {{e|Fire}} Energy for the attack's cost), Rayquaza-EX deals 180 damage, which was enough to Knock Out every Pokémon in the format.

The deck's goal is to have three to four Benched Eelektrik, one active Rayquaza-EX with enough Energy to attack and a Benched Rayquaza-EX to charge up with ''Dynamotor'' the next turn. {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Professor Juniper|98}} and {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Ultra Ball|90}} were crucial Trainers in the deck, since the player would ideally want as many {{e|Lightning}} Energy cards in the discard pile as possible within the first few turns. RayEels could also use many supporting attackers thanks to its use of multiple Energy types and its consistent Energy acceleration. Post-{{TCG|Boundaries Crossed}}, {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Keldeo-EX|49}} and {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Float Stone|99}} were common for easily retreating Pokémon without Energy.
{{-}}
==Key cards==
[[File:SuperRodNobleVictories95.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Super Rod|20}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza-EX|85}}''' - Rayquaza-EX's ''Dragon Burst'' attack can consistently do good damage with the Dynamotor engine. Its ''Celestial Roar'' attack is another way to attach Energyto itself, but it comes with the risk of discarding valuable resources.
* '''{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Eelektrik|40}}''' - Eelektrik's ''Dynamotor'' can attach a {{e|Lightning}} energy to Benched Pokémon, typically Rayquaza-EX. Eelektrik's ''Electric Ball'' attack can potentially Knock Out damaged Pokémon, but the deck usually prefers better secondary attackers.
* '''{{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Keldeo-EX|49}}''' - Keldeo-EX's ''Rush In'' Ability switches it into the Active Spot, allowing a Rayquaza-EX that had attacked the previous turn to be powered up again, while still letting the player retreat it afterwards.
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Float Stone|99}}''' - Removes the Retreat Cost any Pokémon in the deck. This is best used on Keldeo-EX, as its Ability makes retreating with other Pokémon virtually unnecessary.
* '''{{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Super Rod|20}}''' - Super Rod recycles {{e|Fire}} energy and often important Pokémon that end up discarded by Trainer cards or by being Knocked Out.
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Ultra Ball|90}}''' - Ultra Ball can be used to discard Energy and search for any Pokémon in the deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}''' - Level Ball can easily let the player get Tynamo and Eelektrik from the deck without any drawbacks.
* '''{{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Skyarrow Bridge|91}}''' - Skyarrow Bridge allows Rayquaza-EX and other Basic Pokémon with only one {{e|Colorless}} retreat cost to freely retreat.
* '''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Professor Juniper|98}}''' - Professor Juniper can discard {{e|Lightning}} Energy and draw cards at the same time.

''The following cards are often used in RayEels in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Raikou-EX|38}}''' - Raikou-EX can deal 100 damage to a Benched Pokémon, sniping certain threats before they become a problem.
* '''{{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}}''' - Mewtwo-EX is a cheap attacker that can use any type of Energy and offers {{e|Psychic}} coverage.
* '''{{TCG ID|Black & White|Zekrom|47}}''' - Single-prize attacker that deals decent damage. Could turn matches either favorably or unfavorably when starting the game in the Active Spot, since it has 130 {{TCG|Hit Points}} (which was a large number for a single-prize Basic Pokémon at the time), but cannot easily retreat.
* '''{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Victini|15}}''' - Strong counter to {{e|Grass}} Pokémon, Victini is a single-prize attacker that can deal 100 damage for 2 Energy.
* '''{{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Rayquaza|128}}''' - Rayquaza's ''Shred'' could damage Pokémon that are immune to Rayquaza-EX. Additionally, it can hit opposing Rayquaza-EX for Weakness.

Talk:SVE Basic Energies (TCG)

2025-12-12T01:52:03Z

Dougbro1: /* Move proposal (remove "Energies") */ Reply

== Holo/Reverse Holo SVE Cards ==

I have noticed that there are many types of Holographic Energy cards for the Scarlet & Violet sets. There are the Cosmos Holo (Standard & HD) pattern, a pattern that prints a reverse holo pokeball pattern across the energy card for the first type (01-08) of SVE. The remaining two types (Twlight Masquerade (09-16) being one and BB/WF (17-24) being the second) only have one type of holo pattern I believe. This is only what I've noticed, but there may be more types that I do not know about. Wouldn't it be good to have this information somewhere we could all find it? I think this is the appropriate page to do that. I guess I could do the research and post it here. Nevermind. I see its already under trivia. My bad. [[User:Hobner|Hobner]] ([[User talk:Hobner|talk]]) 18:02, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

== Move proposal (remove "Energies") ==

This page ought to be moved to "SVE Basic Energy (TCG)" or "Scarlet & Violet Basic Energy cards (TCG)" or some variation thereof. "Energy" has always been used as both singular and plural in the context of the TCG; "Energies" has never been used in an official context. This move would align with Bulbapedia's current policy guideline of prioritizing current official terminology. -- [[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 02:25, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

'''Granbull''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} played in the 2018-2019 and slightly in the 2019-2020 seasons. The deck aimed to leave the player with an empty hand every turn to deal consistent damage with a powerful one-Energy attack. Granbull has been featured at Top 2 in LAIC 2018, as well other relevant spots at Regional events.

==Strategy==
{{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Granbull|138}} is a Stage 1 Pokémon that can, for one Energy card, attack for 160 damage if the player has no cards in their hand. The player would use this attack to try to win the game, always maintaining a board state with multiple Granbull in reserve and using cards that emptied the player's hand, even if said cards otherwise have no practical effect in the decklist such as {{TCG ID|Dragon Majesty|Fiery Flint|60}} or if the player purposely failed to get cards from the deck with their effect.

Deck consistency and card sequencing are important to get around the game's limitations such as playing only one Energy or Stadium card from the hand per turn, so {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Oranguru|113}} and {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Magcargo|24}} serve as supporting Pokémon that are used to draw cards that the player would need later and manipulate the cards they would get from the deck.

==Key cards==
[[File:MagcargoCelestialStorm24.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Magcargo|24}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Granbull|138}}''' - For one Energy, Granbull's ''All Out'' attack deals 30 damage plus 130 if the player has no cards in their hand, enough to Knock Out some weak Rule Box Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Dedenne-GX|57}} in one attack with no other modifiers. Granbull notably had a resistance to {{TCG ID|Shining Legends|Zoroark-GX|53}}'s type and its 130HP allowed it to survive a few other attacks from other important Pokémon in the metagame.
* '''{{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Oranguru|113}}''' - Once per turn, allows the player to draw cards until they have 3 in their hand. While being the main or only drawing support Pokémon in the deck, this hit the right amount of resources for some cards such as emptying the hand with {{TCG|Ultra Ball}} or to just recover from turns when the player is left with no cards in hand.
* '''{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Magcargo|24}}''' - Stage 1 Pokémon that, once per turn, allows the player to put any card from the deck on top of it. Played either before Oranguru's {{TCG|Ability}} to draw the desired card immediately or before attacking to better guarantee a card in the next turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Ditto ♢|154}}''' - Can evolve into either Granbull or Magcargo with its Ability.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Choice Band|121}}''' - Increases damage against {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} by 30.
* '''{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Shrine of Punishment|143}}''' - Places 1 damage counter on all Pokémon-GX between turns, making Knock Outs on larger targets easier.
* '''{{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Diantha|105}}''' - Played only if a {{e|Fairy}} Pokémon was knocked out in the opponent's last turn to put 2 cards from the discard pile into the player's hand. The retrieved cards would usually include a Granbull that was just Knocked Out to set up another one for the turn.

==Possible tech cards==
[[File:ZebstrikaLostThunder82.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Zebstrika|82}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Granbull in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Zebstrika|82}}''' - Supporting Pokémon that benefited from the deck playing Ditto ♢ as a means to draw more cards.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Fairy Charm Ability|171}}''' - Prevents damage to the {{e|Fairy}} Pokémon it is attached to from Pokémon with Abilities. {{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Fairy Charm L|172}} could also protect damage against some popular Pokémon in the metagame. It was usually preferred to use Choice Band as removing Tool cards from opposing Pokémon was common at the time.
* '''{{TCG ID|Team Up|Wondrous Labyrinth ♢|158}}''' - Increases the attack costs of non-{{e|Fairy}} Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Apricorn Maker|124}}''' - Searches the deck for three Item cards with "Ball" on their name. Granbull was one of the few decks where this card was consistently useful, as Ultra Ball in particular was one of the best cards to use to empty the player's hand.
{{-}}

==Reasons for the loss of playability==
The following expansions released {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} which, despite giving the player three Prize cards when knocked out, had more HP and were Basic Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Team Up|Pikachu & Zekrom-GX|33}} was notable as it could knock out two Pokémon in one attack and disrupt the player's pace. The metagame also saw the increase of damage reduction and healing cards, making it harder for the deck to exchange Prize cards as effectively, besides control decks. Granbull also suffered later from the end of {{e|Fairy}} support at the {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} era, and the new {{TCG|Pokémon V}} raised the average HP of two-prize Pokémon while making its cards that dealt exclusively with Pokémon-GX less useful. Finally, Choice Band and Oranguru had also left the {{TCG|2019-20 Standard format}}, leaving less reliable cards in their stead.

Riptide (TCG)

2025-12-12T01:21:07Z

Dougbro1:

{{ArchetypeInfobox
|title=Riptide
|image=FeraligatrNeoGenesis5.jpg
|image2=PichuNeoGenesis12.jpg
|caption={{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}} and {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Pichu|12}}
|types={{e|Water}}{{e|Lightning}}
|cards={{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}
|era=1999-2000
}}
'''Riptide''' is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|Deck archetype|deck archetype}} based around the ''Riptide'' attack of {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}.

==History==
The idea for Riptide spawned soon after the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion was released. Combined with cards that could discard Energy at will, it became apparent to players that {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}'s ''Riptide'' attack could prove deadly.

==Strategy==
The point of the deck is to charge up {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}} and discard as much Energy as possible quickly. Then, the deck can attack with ''Riptide'' for massive damage. While no Energy is discarded from {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}, the downside is that all the Energy cards in the discard pile are shuffled back into the deck. However, the rest of the deck is packed with combos to cycle Energy into the discard pile at an alarming rate. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Trash Exchange|126}} switches the discard pile with the deck. This is amazingly useful to effectively discard all the Energy in the deck, dealing enough damage with ''Riptide'' to knock out any Pokémon in the game (at the time). Many other ways exist, such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}, or {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Wrath|114}}. The [[baby Pokémon]] in the deck are techs against other popular archetypes at the time that this deck was legal.

==Cards==
===Key cards===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}''' is the main attacker for the deck, using ''Riptide'' to hit for 10 damage per turn, plus 10 more damage for each {{TCG|Water Energy}} in the discard pile.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Trash Exchange|126}}''' shuffles the discard pile into the deck and discards the first cards on the top of the deck. This gives Feraligatr plenty of Energy to boost Riptide's damage.

===Other Pokémon===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Elekid|22}}''' helps mount some form of offense when the player is focusing on more important things, like powering up {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Pichu|12}}''' hits any Pokémon with a {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} for 20 damage, annihilating most decks that competed with Riptide as many decks at the time relied on Pokémon Powers to succeed.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}''' provides hand refreshment and increases the player's chances of drawing whatever card they need to get out {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}.

===Other Trainers===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Professor Elm|96}}''' is an alternative to {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}} if the player doesn't wish to waste their attack on getting different cards in their hand.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Wrath|114}}''' lets the player pick two cards in the top seven of their deck and add them to their hand, while discarding. In Riptide, the discard may actually benefit the player more than the drawing, by increasing {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}'s damage.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}''' can ruin the opponent's strategy by swapping out their ideal Active Pokémon with a useless one with a high [[retreat cost]].
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Focus Band|86}}''' can give any Pokémon the extra turn it needs to score that crucial Knock Out or retreat.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Time Capsule|90}}''' can save a player from decking out in a pinch, which seems to be the biggest problem with this deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Trader|77}}''' trades any Pokémon in the player's hand with any one from their deck, which can really speed up the deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}}''' lets the player skip an [[Evolution]], like {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Totodile|81}} to {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}, while normally {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Croconaw|32}} would be in the middle.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Secret Mission|118}}''' lets players draw cards and discard Energy.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Narrow Gym|124}}''' can disrupt the opponent's strategy by limiting bench Pokémon amount for both players. If any player has five Benched Pokémon, then they must discard one of them and any cards (including Energy) attached to it.

==Restriction==
The {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion has been banned for play in [[Rotation (TCG)|Modified Format]], so this deck is currently unplayable for any official tournament. All of the other expansions represented in the deck have been removed as well, so any variation on the deck will most likely be unsuccessful.

----
The '''Haymaker''' {{TCG|deck archetype}} was a strong competitor in the early days of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It was played heavily due to its fast, hard hitting nature that included control elements.

==Strategy==
[[File:ScytherJungle10.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}]]
As one of the earliest deck archetypes, Haymaker took advantage of useful {{TCG|Trainer card}}s and [[Basic Pokémon]] from {{TCG|Base Set}} and {{TCG|Jungle}} to set up quickly and strike hard quickly. The classic trio of Pokémon in Haymaker decks include {{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}}, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}, and {{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}. All are Basic Pokémon with 70HP, allowing them to be played straight from the hand and soak up damage early in the game. All have good damage to Energy cost ratios, with Hitmonchan able to deal 20 damage for {{e|Fighting}}, and Electabuzz able to deal 10 damage and potentially inflict {{TCG|Paralyzed|Paralysis}} for {{e|Lightning}}.

Trainer cards also factored heavily in Haymaker decks. Cards such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}}, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}, and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Computer Search|71}} allowed cards to be drawn and quickly populate the Bench. {{TCG ID|Base Set|PlusPower|84}} gave extra power to attacks, while {{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Super Energy Removal|79}} could disrupt the opponent's strategy. {{TCG ID|Base Set|Item Finder|74}} was also useful in recycling Trainer cards.

==Key Cards==
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}''' - The ability to Paralyze with ''Thundershock'' on turn 1 allowed Electabuzz to set up for ''Thunderpunch'' on turn 2, with the possibility of dealing 40 damage. Important for hitting the Weakness of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}}''' - Hitmonchan could use its ''Jab'' attack on turn 1 for 20 damage. Its second attack, ''Special Punch'', could deal 40 damage for three Energy. Important for hitting the Weakness of many Colorless and most Lightning Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}''' - Primarily valued for its combination of 70 HP with Fighting Resistance and a free Retreat Cost. With the addition of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Double Colorless Energy|96}}, Scyther could deal a consistent 30 damage from turn 2 with its ''Slash'' attack.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|PlusPower|84}}''' - Provides an additional 10 damage to a Pokémon's attack. {{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}} and matching Weakness, this allowed {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}} to quickly OHKO most Basic Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}}''' and '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Super Energy Removal|79}}''' - Allows the player to discard Energy from opposing Pokémon, limiting most opponent's to low Energy attacks. This was vital to Haymaker; even though 70 HP was large for a Basic Pokémon, multiple Evolved Pokémon could still OHKO this amount. Between S/ER and Gust of Wind, they never got the chance.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}}''', '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Computer Search|71}}''', '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Item Finder|74}}''', and '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}''' - Provides for the deck's draw and search needs, allowing the player to quickly setup. The usage of Bill was hotly debated, with the side in favor of it pointing out it made the deck faster and more consistent, while the side opposed preferred space for additional options and felt it both fast and consistent enough already. Item Finder was also often important late game, recycling a useful Trainer that had already been used several times or was discarded for other card effects.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}''' - Controlling the opponent's Active could be used to stall for time, but it was mostly used to facilitate key KO's (preferably OHKO's) that would not only earn a Prize but weaken the opponent's own setup.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Scoop Up|78}}''' - This card was used to deal with damage and the effects of attacks (including what we now call Special Conditions). Though attached Energy had to be discarded, judicious use of single Energy attacks, Scyther (with its free Retreat Cost), and/or Super Energy Removal could reduce or even eliminate this drawback.

==Possible tech cards==
[[File:MewtwoWizardsPromo3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mewtwo|3}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Haymaker in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
*'''{{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mewtwo|3}}''' - A solid choice with 70HP and the ability to deal 40 damage for {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Psychic}}{{e|Colorless}}. So long as there is Energy in the discard pile, its ''Energy Absorption'' attack allows Mewtwo to set up quickly allowing players to choose up to 2 Energy cards from there.
*'''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Magmar|39}}''' - Good for stalling the opponent with its ''Smokescreen'' attack and 70HP, while its stronger attack, ''Smog'', provides the opportunity to {{TCG|Poison}} the opposing Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Energy Search|59}}''' - This card would further thin the deck while snagging the exact basic Energy card needed. Some preferred to use the space for {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rainbow Energy|17}} or additional copies of the desired basic Energy.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Lass|75}}''' - In a deck where any Trainer cards will be used up relatively quickly, Lass can be used to disrupt the opponent's strategy with little to no impact on the players'.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Switch|95}}''' - This card was sometimes used as an alternative to running more copies of Scoop Up or Double Colorless Energy. Used well, it could help conserve Energy.
*'''{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Nightly Garbage Run|77}}''' - Can be used to shuffle Energy and Pokémon from the discard pile to the player's deck which is useful when playing against decks such as Chansey/Alakazam stall. This card can put back the Energy and Pokémon discarded by Item Finder and Computer Search.
*'''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|28}}''' - Muk is used for its ability Toxic Gas which is used for blocking useful abilities, such as Rain Dance on {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}.

==Restriction==
The Haymaker deck, being comprised mostly of cards made in the first few sets of the TCG, was one of the first to be essentially, but not explicitly, banned from play as the cards were taken out of [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]]. Due to its loss, however, the TCG was allowed to grow, and new strategies were eventually able to take root.

{{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}}, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}, and {{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}} were all reprinted as {{TCG|Retro card}}s in the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, allowing them to be played in the {{TCG|Modified format}} during the latter part of the 2008-2009 season, and throughout the 2009-2010 season.

The game was announced worldwide on [[Pokémon Day#2024|February 27th, 2024]], at 14:00 UTC, through a [[Pokémon Presents#February 27, 2024|Pokémon Presents]]. It was released worldwide on [[Nintendo Switch]] on October 16, 2025. A [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition, known as '''Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition''', released at the same time as both a physical release and a downloadable [[upgrade pack]]. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition features enhanced resolution and frame rates compared to the base version. All copies of the game are playable in ten languages: Japanese, English, German, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. It is the first core series game with a {{pmin|Latin America}}n Spanish translation.

The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] was revealed during a [[Nintendo Direct]] on September 12, 2025.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game is set entirely in [[Lumiose City]], five years after the events of {{g|X and Y}}.<ref>'''NPC:''' "The incident with [[Team Flare]] five years ago sent shock waves through the whole of [[Kalos]]." (Pokémon Legends: Z-A)</ref> A large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]] leads an urban redevelopment plan for Lumiose City, aiming to make it a city where humans and Pokémon can live in harmony.

Six months prior to the events of the game, the first instance of [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], a phenomenon where Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] without a Trainer, occurs in Lumiose City. In the aftermath, Quasartico Inc., following words of advisement from [[AZ]], creates the [[Z-A Royale]] in order to find the strongest Mega Evolution user.

The {{player}} arrives in Lumiose City and is immediately introduced to [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who allows them to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]], guides them through a night of [[Z-A Royale]], and leads them to [[Hotel Z]], where the player officially becomes part of [[Team MZ]]. As the player rises through the ranks of Z-A Royale, they also are tasked with dealing with the instances of Rogue Mega Evolutions popping all throughout Lumiose City.

After the player and Urbain/Taunie reach Rank A, Team MZ attempts to quell [[Ange]], a special device built by AZ 2,000 years ago inside of [[Prism Tower]], which was improperly activated due to the previous usage of the [[ultimate weapon]]. Urbain/Taunie Mega Evolve {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} {{p|Floette}} in order to control Ange, but this works only momentarily, as the device turns into Hyperrogue Ange Floette, destroying Prism Tower in the process. The player, assisted by other Trainers they met in the Z-A Royale and {{p|Zygarde}} {{form|Zygarde|Complete Form}}, finally stop Ange, protecting Lumiose City from the threat of Rogue Mega Evolution.

After the credits, AZ is revealed to have died moments after Ange had been stopped. Quasartico Inc. carries out the combined wishes of the player and Urbain/Taunie, which also had been asked by AZ, and allow for the Z-A Royale to exist indefinitely through the [[Z-A Royale|Infinite Z-A Royale]]. The player works out with [[Mable]] and [[Team Flare Nouveau]] in order to track down and catch {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}, which were attracted to Lumiose City by Ange, and then is recognized as worthy by Zygarde, who allows them to catch it. After Urbain/Taunie becomes the CEO of Quasartico Inc., they {{pkmn2|gift}} Eternal Flower Floette to the player.
{{endspoilers}}


==Features==
===Battle mechanics===
Unlike other core series games, which use a turn-based battle system, Pokémon Legends: Z-A uses a real-time combat system where Trainers and their Pokémon can move around a 3D space which adapts various gameplay features from {{g|UNITE}}.

The similar features presented here along with new mechanics include precise timing of when to swap out Pokémon or use their [[move]]s, moves hitting specific areas of the field, and a [[cooldown]] feature in place of [[PP]], with a different length of time for each move. The moves now use precise button commands with the A, B, X, or Y buttons when locked on to a target, which can be customized.

[[Status move]]s that affects stats are now only limited to a one level change and will wear off after a short time, which the aura that it represents disappearing once the time limit is reached.

Unlike in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[held item]]s, including {{Berries}}, are present in the game.

===Catching Pokémon===
[[Wild Pokémon]] can be encountered throughout Lumiose City. Many of them appear in "wild zones", areas of the city specifically designated as places for Pokémon to live. Similar to {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, players can attempt to catch Pokémon without having to {{pkmn|battle}} them, though battling them and lowering their HP will improve the odds of a successful catch.

A new mechanic is featured where if the wild Pokémon runs out of HP, it will become briefly stunned, allowing the player a few seconds to catch it before it vanishes. If the catch fails, the wild Pokémon will vanish.

===Friend===
Either [[Urbain]] or [[Taunie]] will appear as the player's [[friend]] depending on the [[Gender|appearance]] chosen for the [[player character]] at the beginning of the game. Players with a {{ga|Paxton|male appearance}} will meet Taunie, while players with a {{ga|Harmony|female appearance}} will meet Urbain. The player's friend works at [[Hotel Z]], where they support the hotel's owner, [[AZ]].

The game features {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Tepig}}, and {{p|Totodile}} as [[first partner Pokémon]]. The player's friend will use both of the Pokémon that the player did not choose as their first partner.

Later in the story, Taunie/Urbain will invite the player to join [[Team MZ]], who aim to protect Lumiose City and have been tasked with battling the Rogue [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon running wild around the city.

===Rogue Mega Evolutions===
{{main|Rogue Mega Evolution}}
The battles against the [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]s use a similar system as the [[noble Pokémon]] battles from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. The player has to dodge attacks from Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon in real time and launch attacks to deplete the Rogue Mega Evolution Pokémon's health bar and cause them to drop orbs of Mega Power. Gathering Mega Power will fill its meter and allow the player to induce Mega Evolution on their own Pokémon. The meter will then slowly drain, but the player is able to gather more Mega Power to keep the meter from draining; the meter will enter a cooldown mode once it has been drained.

===Z-A Royale===
The [[Z-A Royale]] is a competition held at night in Lumiose City. Participating Pokémon Trainers start at Rank Z, and can rank up by defeating other Trainers in promotion matches to progress to Rank A. It is said that Trainers who reach Rank A may have one wish granted.

===New Pokémon and forms===
[[Eternal Flower Floette]] is available for the first time. Additionally, 26 Pokémon gained new [[Mega Evolution]]s, those being {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Starmie}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Feraligatr}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Emboar}}, {{p|Excadrill}}, {{p|Scolipede}}, {{p|Scrafty}}, {{P|Eelektross}}, {{p|Chandelure}}, {{p|Chesnaught}}, {{p|Delphox}}, {{p|Greninja}}, {{p|Pyroar}}, {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} {{p|Floette}}, {{p|Malamar}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, {{p|Dragalge}}, {{p|Hawlucha}}, {{p|Zygarde}} {{form|Zygarde|Complete Forme}}, {{p|Drampa}}, and {{p|Falinks}}.

===Pokémon mechanics===
[[Mega Evolution]] returns for the first time in a [[core series]] game since {{LGPE}}.

{{pkmn2|Wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]] make their return from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, behaving and looking similarly to as they did in that game.

{{Abilities}}, {{pkmn|breeding}}, and {{pkmn|Egg}}s are not available in this game.

===Connectivity===
The game is planned to receive [[Pokémon HOME]] compatibility at some point in 2026. However, Pokémon caught or transferred to Pokémon Legends: Z-A cannot be sent to previous Nintendo Switch titles. Similar to previous Pokémon titles on the Nintendo Switch, only Pokémon available in this game can be transferred into it.

==Reception==
The game sold 5.80 million copies in its launch week.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/pokemon-legends-z-a-has-super-effective-start-already-selling-5-8-million-copies/1100-6535676/ Pokemon Legends: Z-A Has Super-Effective Start, Already Selling 5.8 Million Copies - GameSpot]</ref>

==Version history==
The game file size for the download version is dependant on the system that the game is downloaded on, irrespective of the edition owned. In other words, downloading the [[Nintendo Switch]] version of the game on a [[Nintendo Switch 2]] will still consume the same amount of storage space as the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade pack only consumes approximately 3 MB of additional space.<ref name="Nintendo eShop AU">https://ec.nintendo.com/AU/en/aocs/70050000058351</ref>

|'''Fixes Applied for the Following Issues'''
* If your Pokémon Boxes became full before the first Rogue Mega Evolution battle and the Boxes menu had not been opened at any point prior to being filled, Pokémon catch attempts would always fail. Additionally, if a side mission that allows you to receive Pokémon was attempted under these conditions, the mission would be completed without granting the Pokémon.
* In certain side missions, if the time of day switched between daytime and nighttime at the exact moment that a move hit its target, it became impossible to hit the target afterward, rendering the side mission incapable of being progressed further.
* In Trainer battles, if the opposing Trainer switched Pokémon and the player simultaneously activated Mega Evolution, the game may have become unplayable because the opposing Trainer failed to send out a new Pokémon.
* Other minor issues have also been fixed.

'''Ranked Battles Balance Adjustments'''
* To prevent points from decreasing based on match outcomes, points awarded according to ranking have been adjusted.
* Battle rewards have been partially increased and added to the rewards received after each match.

If the physical Nintendo Switch version is played on a Nintendo Switch 2, then the patch downloads will also contain the data for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Upgrade Pack, resulting in extra data being downloaded. If the physical Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is inserted into the Switch 2 console instead, then the Upgrade Pack contents will not be downloaded.

==Trivia==
* This is the first core series game:
** To be rated E10+ by the {{wp|Entertainment Software Rating Board|ESRB}}.
** To use real-time combat.
** To include letters from the Latin alphabet in its official Chinese name, as {{g|X and Y}} were never officially translated to Chinese.
** To have its [[Mega Dimension|DLC]] be revealed before the release of the base game and also the first instance of [[core series]] DLC releasing in the same calendar year as the base game.
** In which there is no way for the player to travel directly across water, such as {{m|Surf}} or [[Poké Ride]].
** In which the main [[rival]] gets both [[first partner Pokémon]] that the player does not pick.
** Released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] family of systems to not give or get a [[save data bonus]].
** To receive an [[upgrade pack]] and accompanying [[Nintendo Switch 2]] Edition.
** In which a Pokémon can legitimately exceed [[level]] 100.
** In which {{p|Mewtwo}} is present without {{p|Mew}}.
** In which [[weather]] is a mechanic, but no weather-setting move is available.
*** It also is the first core series game to only feature one weather condition in battle, namely [[rain]].
* This is the first original core series game since {{B2W2}} to not introduce any new Pokémon species at the time of its release, and the second overall.
* All Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]] are in the base game of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. No new Pokémon introduced in [[Generation IX]] appear in the game until the release of the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.
* With the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A, every Pokémon from the [[National Pokédex]] is present in at least one of the Nintendo Switch core series games.
** Before this game, the {{p|Patrat}} [[evolution]]ary line, the [[elemental monkeys]], and {{p|Furfrou}} were the only remaining Pokémon to have not been present in a Nintendo Switch core series game.
** Despite this, the National Pokédex in [[Pokémon HOME]] still cannot be completed using the Nintendo Switch games alone, since {{p|Spinda}} cannot be moved in or out of {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} due to the [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Spinda spot pattern glitches|spot pattern glitches]] and therefore has to be [[transfer]]red from [[Pokémon Bank]].

'''Wailord Stall''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} mainly played in the 2014-2015 season.
The deck's strategy revolved around stalling tactics to win by running the opponent out of cards in their deck, playing the sturdy {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Wailord-EX|38}} which had the most {{TCG|Hit Points}} in a Pokémon at the time and could survive many different {{TCG|Attack}}s, not needing to attack in a single turn (most lists had no Energy). Wailord Stall took players by surprise in the 2015 Pokémon TCG US National Championships as {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Lysandre's Trump Card|99}}, a card used to counter stalling strategies, had been recently banned from play, being undefeated until the finals where it ranked 2nd place in the Masters Divison.

==Strategy==
[[File:MaxPotionBREAKpoint103.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Max Potion|94}}]]
Wailord Stall offered a unique strategy in the format by not using any attacks during turns; instead, the deck relied on discarding the opponent's Energy with disruptive {{TCG|Trainer card}}s and healing damage off the active Pokémon, aiming that the opponent would eventually run out of cards from the deck. It would play Wailord-EX, a Pokémon with 250HP, and Suicune, whose {{TCG|Ability}} prevented damage from {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Other decks usually played more cards on the first turns to setup its attackers, but also getting closer to be decked out than Wailord Stall. Cards such as {{TCG ID|XY|Cassius|115}}, {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|AZ|91}} and {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Max Potion|94}} were useful at removing damage counters in play; with {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|VS Seeker|109}} and {{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Dowsing Machine|128}}, the player could potentially heal a total of 17 times in a single game, not even counting the lesser healing from {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Rough Seas|137}}.

Discarding Energy from play was consistent thanks to cards such as {{TCG ID|XY|Team Flare Grunt|129}}, {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Xerosic|110}}, and {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Enhanced Hammer|94}}. The player should wisely use their VS Seeker to either play healing or disruptive {{TCG|Supporter card}}s since only one could be played at each turn. Losing Pokémon by knockouts could be tolerable if the opponent ran out of Energy to attack in future turns, eventually losing by decking out.

[[File:RoughSeasPrimalClash137.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Rough Seas|137}}]]
*'''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Wailord-EX|38}}''' - Wailord-EX was a Basic Pokémon with 250HP, resisting many attacks in a format where no attacker could knock it out in one move. Despite giving the opponent two prize cards when knocked out, Wailord-EX was better at resisting attacks and playing on the field than other Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Suicune|20}}''' - Suicune's ''Safeguard'' Ability prevented all attacks against it from Pokémon-EX, often not needing to be healed as much as Wailord-EX. Suicune was also an auto win against decks that could not knock out this Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Max Potion|94}}''' - As this deck played no Energy, Max Potion's drawback was ignored when healing all damage from a Pokémon in play.
*'''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|VS Seeker|109}}''' - Crucial at retrieving played Supporter cards and using their effects for more turns.
*'''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|AZ|91}}''' - Returned a Pokémon in play to your hand, forcing the player to have a benched Pokémon but removing all damage counters from it. [[Cassius (XY 115)|Cassius]] had a similar use, but returned that Pokémon into the deck instead.
*'''{{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Hugh|130}}''' - Hugh discarded cards from the opponent's hand to prevent shuffling them back into the deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|XY|Team Flare Grunt|129}}''' - Along with {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Xerosic|110}} and {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Enhanced Hammer|94}}, this card was a consistent way to discard Energy from the opponent's Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Flashfire|Lysandre|90}}''' - It was often preferred to switch the opponent's active Pokémon with one that could not attack (or dealt less damage) and could not retreat back to the old active Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Rough Seas|137}}''' - Healed 30 damage from {{e|Water}} Pokémon between turns. Combined with {{TCG ID|XY|Hard Charm|119}}, it made the deck's Pokémon sturdier against more attacks.

''The following cards are often used in Wailord Stall in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
*'''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Wobbuffet|36}}''' - Wobbuffet's ''Bide Barricade'' Ability prevented the Abilities of non-{{e|Psychic}} Pokémon from working, being useful against decks that accelerated energy by them.
*'''{{TCG ID|Shining Legends|Hoopa|55}}''' - A replacement to Suicune that was also immune to the newer {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}.
*'''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Wishiwashi-GX|38}}''' - Though Wishiwashi-GX had less HP than Wailord-EX, this Pokémon's Weakness was different than Wailord's.
*'''{{TCG ID|Ultra Prism|Xurkitree-GX|142}}''' - Played by Butch Smith in the 2018 Roanoke Regional as a replacement for Suicune, being immune to Pokémon with Special Energy instead.
*'''{{TCG ID|Ultra Prism|Oranguru|114}}''' - Oranguru's ''Resource Management'' could shuffle back resources into the deck, though it was more consistent in other stall archetypes.
*'''{{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tropical Beach|28}}''' - As the deck did not aim to attack, Tropical Beach was great at drawing cards each turn with no drawback. This card was physically expensive to obtain, however, due to its difficulty to be obtained.
*'''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Head Ringer|97}}''' - Played on opposing Pokémon-EX to need an extra energy to attack.
*'''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Robo Substitute|102}}''' - While in play, Robo substitute counted as a Pokémon that did not give the opponent Prize cards when knocked out.
{{-}}

==Reasons for the loss of playability==
After its debut in the 2015 Nationals, players have adapted to playing against stall, such as using less Special Energy or including {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Bunnelby|121}} to shuffle resources back into the deck. {{e|Grass}} Pokémon would later be present in the meta, which hit Wailord-EX for Weakness, as well {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Puzzle of Time|109}}. This deck was still a small contender up to the 2017-2018 season featuring in a few Top 16s, but newer stall/control decks had better tournament results.

'''Blastoise/Keldeo''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} played during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 season. The deck's strategy revolved around playing {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Blastoise|31}} to attach as many Energy to attackers such as {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Keldeo-EX|49}} as possible for easy knockouts. With an usual attendance during the seasons despite being countered by decks with {{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Garbodor|54}} and later {{TCG|Virizion-EX/Genesect-EX}}, a Blastoise/Keldeo player achieved 2nd place in the Senior Division at the [[2014 World Championships|2014 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]], and another Blastoise/Keldeo player took 1st place at the [[2015 World Championships|2015 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]], among other relevant titles at minor events. Masters champion Jacob Van Wagner's version was printed as a promotional World Championships deck, [[HonorStoise (TCG)|HonorStoise]].

==Strategy==
[[File:BlackKyuremEXPlasmaStorm95.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Black Kyurem-EX|95}}]]
Blastoise/Keldeo focused on playing Blastoise as soon it was possible to use its ''Deluge'' {{TCG|Ability}}, which similar to the first printed {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}} allowed to any number of {{e|Water}} Energy from the player's hand to Pokémon in play during their turn. Keldeo-EX and {{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Black Kyurem-EX|95}} (introduced a set later) were the most useful attackers for the deck, with the potential to knock out most Pokémon in their active formats with the right setup but the need to use many Energy cards. The deck used resources such as {{TCG|Rare Candy}} to speed up the Blastoise setup and {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Superior Energy Retrieval|103}} to not run out of Energy.

While not the most sucessful deck of the formats it was active, Blastoise/Keldeo was known for its straightforwardness and ease to play for casual players. The release of {{TCG|Primal Clash}} introduced {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Archie's Ace in the Hole|124}}, which mutated the archetype into {{TCG|Archie's Blastoise}} and allowed Blastoise to stay relevant in future formats.

==Key cards==
[[File:TropicalBeachBWPromo50.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tropical Beach|28}}]]
*'''{{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Blastoise|31}}''' - The ''Deluge'' Ability allowed the player to attach any amount of {{e|Water}} Energy from their hand to Pokémon during their turn. As a Stage 2 Pokémon, it was important to have more than one line in play to avoid losing the deck's energy attachment engine upon knockout.
*'''{{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Keldeo-EX|49}}''' - ''Secret Sword'' scaled damage for each {{e|Water}} Energy attached to Keldeo; at 7 Energy, it could Knock Out any Basic {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} (and non-EX Pokémon for less). Its ''Rush In'' Ability was also useful at easily becoming the Active Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Black Kyurem-EX|95}}''' - ''Black Ballista'' allowed Black Kyurem-EX to knock out most Pokémon before the introduction of {{TCG|M Pokémon-EX}}, but forced Energy cards to be discarded and required a {{e|Lightning}} Energy.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Electrode|33}}''' - Used to draw cards each turn and prevent a resourceless hand from opposing players playing {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|N|96}}.
*'''{{TCG|Rare Candy}}''' - Skipped the middle evolutionary Stage for Blastoise, allowing its setup at the player's second turn.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Superior Energy Retrieval|103}}''' - Retrieved discarded Basic Energy to the player's hand.
*'''{{TCG ID|Dragons Exalted|Tool Scrapper|116}}''' - Discarded {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s from Garbodor to remove its Ability denial. Later replaced by {{TCG ID|Flashfire|Startling Megaphone|97}} with the same purpose.
*'''{{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tropical Beach|28}}''' - Used to draw cards. Tropical Beach's drawback of ending the turn with its effect was not harmful in the first turn, since the player could not use any expensive attack. Notably the most expensive card in the Standard Format while it was in rotation due to its low distribution.

Mega Rayquaza EX (TCG)

|types={{e|Colorless}}
|era=2015–2017
}}

'''Mega Rayquaza EX''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} played during the 2015-2016 to 2016-2017 season. The deck's strategy revolved around {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|M Rayquaza-EX|76}}'s {{TCG|Attack}} that could deal up to 240 damage on the first turn with the right setup to bench as many Pokémon possible. {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Mega Turbo|86}} attached Energy to M-Rayquaza to ensure it could use its mildly expensive attack. Thanks to its fast set up and to its high damage cap, Mega Rayquaza EX was a popular archetype in tournaments during the 2015-2016 season, although it suffered for the presence of {{TCG|Night March}} and, later on, {{TCG ID|BREAKthrough|Parallel City|145}} which was largely played by many decks. Mega Rayquaza EX's best result was by Top 8 player Calvin Connor in the Senior Division at the 2016 Pokémon US Nationals Championships, but it has also featured in many other tournaments, such as ranking 1st place in the Master Division at the 2016 Liverpool Regional and the 2017 Leipzig Regional.

==Strategy==
[[File:SkyFieldRoaringSkies89.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Sky Field|89}}]]
Mega Rayquaza EX was a very aggressive deck that focused on evolving M Rayquaza-EX, benching as many Pokémon possible and attaching 3 Energy for M Rayquaza-EX's attack, which dealt 30 damage times for each of the player's benched Pokémon. Evolving M Rayquaza-EX early was possible due to its ''Δ Evolution'' [[Ancient Trait]], which did not count as an {{TCG|Ability}} and so the opponent could not block its effect. Other strong supporting cards got released in the same expansion as M Rayquaza: {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Shaymin-EX|77}} allowed the player to draw up to 6 cards when played on the field, {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Sky Field|89}} increased the possible number of benched Pokémon (and therefore M Rayquaza's damage) and {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Mega Turbo|86}} attached Basic Energy from the discard pile to M Rayquaza, allowing it to use its attack early. Later on, {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Hoopa-EX|36}} also allowed the player to search their deck for {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}, reducing the need of Pokémon-searching cards. Such strength was enough to M Rayquaza-EX knock out most Pokémon-EX on the player's first turn.

As a deck that could use any type of Energy for its best attack, Mega Rayquaza EX had a few slightly different techs through the seasons, such as {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Bronzong|61}} and {{TCG ID|Generations|Jolteon-EX|28}} variants. While the deck's aggressive setup left it open to disruptive and stalling strategies, as well Night March decks due to its {{e|Lightning}} weakness, Mega Rayquaza EX's main trouble was later on with the release of Parallel City, a Stadium card that could limit the number of Pokémon on the opponent's side; as a strong contender however, the existence of this archetype was enough pressure to make Parallel City a common card in tournaments.

==Key cards==
[[File:MegaTurboRoaringSkies86.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Mega Turbo|86}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|M Rayquaza-EX|76}}''' - For {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}, M Rayquaza-EX's ''Emerald Break'' Attack dealt up to 240 damage with Sky Field and a full bench. Its Ancient Trait allowed it to evolve on the turn Rayquaza-EX was played, being useful even if going first: evolving reduced the number of cards in the player's hand to better use Shaymin-EX or common {{TCG|Supporter cards}} and reduced disruption of opposing Trainer cards.
* '''{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Shaymin-EX|77}}''' - When played on the field, Shaymin-EX allowed the player to draw cards up to having 6 on its hand. Most Mega Rayquaza EX lists played four copies of this card, making it one of the most expensive decks of the format.
* '''{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Hoopa-EX|36}}''' - Hoopa-EX's ''Scoundrel Ring'' Ability allowed the player to search the deck for up to 3 other Pokémon-EX. As a {{e|Psychic}} Pokémon, it was immune to {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Wobbuffet|36}}'s Ability lock.
* '''{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Mega Turbo|86}}''' - Attached a basic energy from the discard pile to Mega Evolutions, being essential to attack on the first turn or recover in a turn the attackers got knocked out.
* '''{{TCG ID|BREAKthrough|Float Stone|137}}''' - It allowed the player to freely retreat supporting Pokémon with useless attacks.
* '''{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Sky Field|89}}''' - Increased the number of benched Pokémon each player could have by 3, increasing M Rayquaza-EX's damage potential and the amount of Shaymin-EX/Hoopa-EX Abilities that player could use.
* '''{{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Winona|96}}''' - Before the release of Hoopa-EX, Winona was the best way to search the deck for the main Pokémon, though it prevented the player from using more relevant Supporter cards that turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Hex Maniac|75}}''' - Counter to other decks that used Abilities to setup or prevent damage dealt.
* '''{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}''' - Reduced the need of energy cards M Rayquaza-EX needed to attack.

'''Mega Manectric EX''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} mainly played in the 2014-2015 season, becoming a contender during the 2015-2016 season. The deck's strategy revolved around {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|M Manectric-EX|24}}'s {{TCG|Attack}} attaching Basic Energy to {{TCG|Bench}}ed Pokémon, being able to constantly retreat attackers and deny {{TCG|Prize card}}s. Mega Manectric EX ranked 4th and 6th place in Seniors division at the [[2015 World Championships|2015 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]], but also had decent results in other events.

==Strategy==
M Manectric-EX's ''Turbo Bolt'' attack dealt damage while attaching two basic energy cards from the discard pile to the player's benched Pokémon. This attack could knock out any Pokémon without healing support or damage reduction in two attacks and offered a hit-and-run strategy, where a M Manectric-EX would power up another benched M Manectric, retreat when badly damaged (notably, M Manectric had no retreat cost) and prevent the opponent from taking prize cards that turn if it could not play {{TCG ID|Flashfire|Lysandre|90}}. Its basic stage, {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Manectric-EX|23}}, could also punish opposing Pokémon with attached tool cards, being sometimes a reliable attacker without needing to evolve. Because the ''Turbo Bolt'' attack cost was relatively cheap, the deck could fit secondary non-{{e|Lightning}} attackers to benefit from the energy attachment effect, such as in Josh Fernando's M Manectric-EX/Terrakion variant in Worlds 2015.

*'''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|M Manectric-EX|24}}''' - M Manectric-EX ''Turbo Bolt'' attack dealt 110 damage while attaching two basic energy cards to a benched Pokémon, usually another M Manectric-EX. As a {{e|Lightning}} Pokémon, it had a favorable matchup against Pokémon weak to this type such as {{TCG ID|XY|Yveltal-EX|79}}.
*'''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Rough Seas|137}}''' - Discarded other {{TCG|Stadium card}}s and healed 30 damage from the player's {{e|Lightning}} and {{e|Water}} Pokémon per turn, allowing the Pokémon to survive more attacks.
*'''{{TCG ID|Black & White|Professor Juniper|101}}''' and '''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}}''' - Staple Trainers that could purposely discard Energy from the hand during the first turns and benefit from ''Turbo Bolt''.

Darkrai/Sableye (TCG)

|era=2011-2014
}}
'''Darkrai/Sableye''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} regarded by many as the best deck in the format of the 2012-2013 season, also being a played contender in the 2011-2012 and 2013-2014 season. The deck's strategy revolved around stalling the opponent with disruptive Trainer cards and recycle these resources while the player would charge up {{TCG|Bench}}ed {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Darkrai-EX|63}} to later attack, but also being able to attack the first turn with stalling cards for the next turns. With a constant attendance during the season, Darkrai/Sableye players took 1st place in the Masters Division and 1st place in the Junior Division at the [[2013 World Championships|2013 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]], as well other important titles at official events. Masters champion Jason Klaczynski's version was printed as a promotional World Championships deck, {{TCG|Darkrai Deck}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:CrushingHammerEmergingPowers92.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Crushing Hammer|92}}]]
Darkrai/Sableye focused on charging benched Darkrai-EX without being attacked by the opponent's Pokémon, playing {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Crushing Hammer|92}} and {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Enhanced Hammer|94}} to remove energy cards and {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Dark Patch|93}} as energy acceleration. The differential of this deck is to use {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Sableye|62}}'s ''Junk Hunt'' {{TCG|Attack}} to put back discarded Item cards in the player's hand, being able to reuse these resources, plus searching and drawing Items, in the next turn. It could also be fast at getting enough Energy on the first turn to start the match with Darkrai-EX's attack.

As a Pokémon that only gives one Prize card when knocked out, Sableye forced the opponent to knock out the same number of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} to win the Prize card race when brought down as if the opponent did not get a Prize card. Due to ''Junk Hunt'', Darkrai/Sableye could often play as a control deck by discarding all Energy from the opponent's deck. Darkrai-EX's ''Dark Cloak'' {{TCG|Ability}} offers further mobility to the list, preventing it being in the active position at the first turn to be a so disfavorable start. A player could attach an energy to Darkrai-EX, retreat to Sableye by the Ability's free cost and move that energy with {{TCG ID|Black & White|Energy Switch|94}} to use ''Junk Hunt''. The same could happen backwards, where benched Darkrai-EX could even attack the first turn with an attchment to the active Pokémon, at least two Dark Patches and a retreat/Energy Switch.

{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Hypnotoxic Laser|123}} became an useful addition when released as it would get the opposing Pokémon's {{TCG|Hit Points}} low enough to be knocked out with one attack and often asleep them.
{{-}}

==Key cards==
[[File:DarkClawDarkExplorers92.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Dark Claw|92}}]]
*'''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Darkrai-EX|63}}''' - Darkrai-EX's ''Night Spear'' attack dealt 90 damage to the Active Pokémon plus 30 damage to an opponent's Benched Pokémon. Its ''Dark Cloak'' Ability allowed free retreat for Pokémon with {{e|Darkness}} Energy attached, also keeping these Energy cards on the field.
*'''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Sableye|62}}''' - Sableye's ''Junk Hunt'' attack put two Item cards from the discard pile to the player's hand without a drawback or luck-based use. It could rarely use ''Confuse Ray'' to try confusing the defending Pokémon or knock it out when badly damaged.
*'''{{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Keldeo-EX|49}}''' - Its ''Rush In'' Ability synergized well with Darkrai-EX's Ability, removing special conditions and harmful effects while allowing Dark Patch to be used on the previous active Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Crushing Hammer|92}}''' - Although Crushing Hammer needed a coinflip to discard an energy in play, being able to retrieve it with Sableye to test luck again made it viable enough for many decklists.
*'''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Enhanced Hammer|94}}''' - A guaranteed energy disruption against Special Energy, which were common during the whole 2012-2013 format.
*'''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Dark Patch|93}}''' - Dark Patch attached a discarded {{e|Darkness}} energy to a benched {{e|Darkness}} Pokémon. A similar Item card would only be released when this deck was long gone out of the {{TCG|Standard format}}, making it unique for the whole season.
*'''{{TCG ID|Black & White|Energy Switch|94}}''' - Moved Energy between Sableye and Darkrai-EX to use ''Junk Hunt'' and ''Night Spear'' as quickly possible. Other use could be to move Energy from damaged Darkrai-EX to a newer attacker.
*'''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Dark Claw|92}}''' - Dark Claw increased the attacks of {{e|Darkness}} by 20. It was dropped with the end of the 2011-2012 season and became relevant again once Pokémon with 100-110 HP became slightly common in the format and Hypnotoxic Laser had been released.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Hypnotoxic Laser|123}}''' - Poisoned Pokémon with a chance to also cause them to fall asleep. Along with [[Virbank City Gym (Plasma Storm 126)|Virbank City Gym]], it was possible to weaken the defending Pokémon's HP while charging up Darkrai-EX and knock them out in one ''Night Spear'' attack, or between turns.
*'''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Professor Juniper|98}}''' - Along with [[Ultra Ball (Dark Explorers 102)|Ultra Ball]], Professor Juniper was an easy way to discard Energy to use Dark Patch while getting useful resources.
*'''Special {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Darkness Energy|79}}''' - Each attached special Darkness Energy increased the attack of that Pokémon by 10.

Scizor/Cherrim (TCG)

|era=2008-2010
}}
'''Scizor/Cherrim''' was a {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] that centered around {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Scizor|25}} and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Cherrim|14}}, both from the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion. The deck was regarded as one of the best decks of the era for newer [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] players because of its simple strategy and inexpensiveness. Although it won only a handful of tournaments, Scizor/Cherrim variants were a part of organized play all the way from Stormfront's release until its eventual rotation in 2010. Most builds ran a small Pokémon line to allow more room for {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}} and {{TCG|Supporter card}}s. Because of this, it was easily countered by decks such as {{TCG|DialgaChomp}} and {{TCG|VileGar}} which could impose a Trainer lock.

==Strategy==
[[File:RoseanneResearchSecretWonders125.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}]]
As mentioned above, Scizor/Cherrim employed an extremely basic strategy. The deck attempted to get many {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Scizor|25}} and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Cherrim|14}} as quickly as possible, with {{e|Grass}}{{e|Grass}} and potentially {{TCG|Expert Belt}} attached to the former. One of Scizor/Cherrim's downsides was that, unlike many decks of the day, it could not rely on {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s such as {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}'s ''Set Up''. As such, its speed was dependent completely on Trainer and Supporter cards. {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Unown R|77}} was an exception, since its ''Retire'' Poké-Power forced the player to discard Unown R after use, meaning it did not affect Scizor's damage output.

Scizor/Cherrim compensated for this handicap by utilizing a strong Trainer and Supporter {{TCG|engine}}. Cards such as {{TCG|Quick Ball}}, {{TCG|Luxury Ball}}, {{TCG|Poké Drawer +}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}} helped the deck set up quickly. As the deck could not do as much damage as many other archetypes of the day, and did not have the disruption of a deck such as {{TCG|LuxChomp}}, speed was its most essential aspect. The deck aimed to have a Scizor ready to attack by turn two, at which point it attempted to take six prizes as quickly as possible so as not to prolong the game. Rather than keeping its main attacker alive, as {{TCG|Regigigas archetype|Regigigas}} and certain other decks did, an aggressive Scizor/Cherrim build sacrificed sturdiness for speed and power. {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Night Maintenance|113}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Palmer's Contribution|139}} provided a means of recovery.

==Key Cards==
[[File:BrokenTimeSpacePlatinum104.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Scizor|25}}''' - Scizor was the deck's main attacker. For {{e|Grass}}{{e|Grass}}, Scizor's ''Pound Down'' attack did 70 damage if the player had no Pokémon with {{TCG|Poké-Power}}s in play. Factoring in the effects of Cherrim's ''Sunny Day'' {{TCG|Poké-Body}} and {{TCG|Expert Belt}}, ''Pound Down'' could hit for significant damage. Scizor's ''Accelerate'' attack, which cost {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}, did a mediocre 30 damage. However, it was useful in that, if it knocked out the Defending Pokémon, it prevented all damage done to Scizor during the opponent's next turn. Scizor also had a Poké-Body called ''Honeycomb Defender'', which decreased damage done to it by 40 when Scizor already had six or more damage counters on it. Combined with Scizor's already decent 100 HP and Expert Belt, which increased Scizor's HP to 120, ''Honeycomb Defender'' made it difficult to knock Scizor out.
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Cherrim|14}}''' - Cherrim was the deck's primary support Pokémon. Its ''Sunny Day'' Poké-Body increased the damage dealt by the player's {{TCG|Grass|Grass-type}} Pokémon by 10. ''Sunny Day'' Bodies could be stacked, meaning a ''Pound Down'' with four Cherrim in play did 110 damage without Expert Belt. Cherrim also made a decent attacker in a pinch, with ''Salty-Sweet Pollen'' doing at least 20 damage for no energy cost. The attack also removed two damage counters from one of the Scizor/Cherrim player's Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG|Bebe's Search}}''' - Bebe's Search allowed Scizor/Cherrim to set up faster by searching out a Pokémon from the deck.
* '''{{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}''' - Scizor/Cherrim relied on {{TCG|Grass|Grass-type}} Energy to attack. As such, Roseanne's Research was a versatile card that could be used to either grab the necessary Energy to attack or search out Basic Pokémon from the deck.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - Scizor/Cherrim relied completely on Stage 1 [[Evolution]] cards, and Broken Time-Space provided a means to get them out quickly. Instead of waiting a turn to evolve, this {{TCG|Stadium card}} permitted players to evolve their Pokémon immediately.

* '''{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Unown G|57}}''' - Unown G prevents Scizor/Cherrim's Pokémon from being affected by the attacks of certain main archetypes of the day, such as {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Gengar|18}}'s ''Shadow Room'' attack and {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}}'s ''Take Out'' attack, from the {{TCG|Mother Gengar}} and {{TCG|Machamp archetype|Machamp}} archetypes, respectively.
* '''{{TCG|Pokédex HANDY910is}}''' - This card was a plausible alternative to Poké Drawer +. Although Poké Drawer + provided a stronger effect when two were played together, Pokédex could be played immediately and without reservation. Players who played Pokédex over Poké Drawer + essentially sacrificed power for consistency.
* '''{{TCG|Victory Medal}}''' - Although Victory Medal was relatively difficult to obtain (it was available only to winners of [[Play! Pokémon#Battle Road Tournaments|Battle Road]] tournaments), it was another alternative to Poké Drawer +.

Charizard archetype (TCG)

2025-12-08T15:00:51Z

Dougbro1:

{{ArchetypeInfobox
|title=Charizard

|types={{e|Fire}}
|era=2010-2011
}}
'''Charizard''' was a semi-competitive {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Upon the release of the {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} expansion in late 2009, players recognized {{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}} as a potentially decent attacker and attempted to make a deck around it. It was moderately successful, placing well at a number of small tournaments over the course of its existence. Probably the most notable reason for the Charizard archetype's playability was its strong draw engine based around {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}} from {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, giving it above-average consistency.

==Strategy==
Charizard's straightforward strategy relied on getting as many {{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}, {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}, and [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]] in play as quickly as possible. The deck did not have a designated starting Pokémon, and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}} was capable of rectifying any unfavorable start. Since Ninetales provided the deck's drawpower with its ''Roast Reveal'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}, a Charizard player would often aim to get at least one Ninetales in play before expending resources to get up Charizard or Typhlosion Prime. From there, Charizard was capable of knocking out most Pokémon in one or two hits with ''Fire Wing'' or ''Burning Tail'', and Typhlosion Prime's ''Afterburner'' made it easy to keep energy in play and swarm attackers.

==Key Cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}''' - Charizard's viability as an attacker stemmed from its ''Fire Formation'' Poké-Body, which made Charizard's attacks deal 10 more damage for each {{TCG|Fire|Fire-type}} Pokémon on the player's bench. With a bench full of Fire-type Pokémon, ''Fire Wing'' did 80 damage for only {{e|Fire}}, and ''Burning Tail'' did 130 damage for {{e|Fire}}{{e|Fire}}{{e|Colorless}}.
* '''[[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]]''' - ''Burning Tail'', Charizard's second attack, required the player using it to discard one {{e|Fire}} Energy attached to Charizard. Typhlosion Prime's ''Afterburner'' Poké-Power could reattach that Energy to any Pokémon in play at the cost of placing one damage counter on it. Ninetales's ''Roast Reveal'' Poké-Power, and {{TCG|Junk Arm}} in later variants of the deck, also could discard Energy for later attachment through ''Afterburner''. Typhlosion Prime could also provide a powerful backup attacker in a pinch, with ''Flare Destroy''. Although ''Flare Destroy'' did less damage than ''Burning Tail'' for the same energy cost, it had the added effect (situationally) of discarding an energy card attached to the Defending Pokémon. Against decks without energy acceleration, this could make it difficult for an opponent to build up enough Energy to attack.
* '''{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}''' - ''Main article: [[Engine (TCG)#Ninetales Roast Reveal engine|''Roast Reveal'' engine]]
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}/{{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}''' - These two {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporters}} served essentially the same purpose, allowing the Charizard player to search Basic Pokémon out of their deck. Since the archetype needed at least three different evolved Pokémon in play to function ideally ({{TCG ID|Arceus|Charizard|1}}, [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]], and {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Ninetales|7}}), getting their respective Basic Pokémon in play quickly was vital.
* '''{{TCG|Rare Candy}}''' - The Charizard archetype focused primarily on two {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} into play. Rare Candy provided a means to do this more quickly. Since Charizard existed prior to the rules change at the advent of the [[Modified format (TCG)|2011-2012 modified format]], it was possible to utilize Rare Candy to evolve on a player's first turn. This allowed for occasional {{tt|donks|turn-one wins}} with ''Fire Wing''.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - Broken Time-Space served much the same purpose in the deck as Rare Candy. Rather than skipping an [[Evolution]] stage, though, it permitted a player to evolve multiple times in a single turn.

[[File:JunkArmTriumphant87.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG|Junk Arm}}]]
* '''{{TCG|Junk Arm}}''' - After its release, Junk Arm was considered a staple in Charizard, along with most other archetypes. However, the above variant does not include Junk Arm, as it is based on an early version of the deck. Junk Arm's extreme usefulness stemmed not only from its ability to retrieve any {{TCG|Trainer card}} from the player's discard pile, but also because it allowed the player to discard any two cards from their hand. [[Typhlosion (HeartGold & SoulSilver 110)|Typhlosion Prime]] was the deck's main source of energy acceleration and only functioned if there were {{TCG|Fire Energy}} in the discard. Thus, by giving the player the option to discard Fire Energy, Junk Arm indirectly contributed to the deck's ability to attach additional Energy quickly.
* '''{{TCG|Poké Healer +}}''' - Because both of Charizard's attackers (Charizard and Typhlosion Prime) had a high amount of hit points, they were unlikely to be knocked out in one attack. Thus, Poké Healer + would often have the opportunity to heal a large amount of damage off one of them. This in turn allowed for more attacks before a Pokémon was knocked out.

'''TDK''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} mainly played during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons. The deck's strategy was to attack with the Team Plasma Pokémon {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Thundurus-EX|38}}, {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Kyurem|31}} while multiple {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Deoxys-EX|53}} increased the attack of these Pokémon. With a constant attendance during the seasons, TDK took 2nd place in the Master and Junior Divisions and 1st place in Seniors at the [[2013 World Championships|2013 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]] and 1st place in the Junior Division at the [[2014 World Championships]]. 2013 Junior Runner-up Yugo Sato and 2014 Juniors Champion Haruto Kobayashi's versions were printed as promotional World Championships decks, {{TCG|Ultimate Team Plasma}} and {{TCG|Plasma Power}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:DeoxysEXPlasmaFreeze53.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Deoxys-EX|53}}]]
TDK focused on quickly charging {{TCG|Bench}}ed Kyurem by using Thundurus-EX's ''Raiden Knuckle'' attack and discarding Energy with Items such as {{TCG ID|Flashfire|Ultra Ball|99}}. Deoxys-EX's ''Power Connect'' {{TCG|Ability}} boosted the power of other Team Plasma Pokémon with a stackable effect, with four benched Deoxys-EX increasing ''Raiden Knuckle'''s damage to 70 damage and Kyurem's ''Blizzard Burn'' to 160 damage (without other modifiers). Finishing off Pokémon damaged from Thundurus-EX with Kyurem, a non-EX Pokémon, was the deck's common gameplan. The versatility of Pokémon types and dealing moderate damage in the first turn were helpful to compete against other decks in the format.

The deck would mainly play Special Energy, especially {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Plasma Energy|91}} and {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Prism Energy|93}}. {{TCG|Colress Machine}} was a valuable resource for the deck, since it sped up the energy attachment for all Plasma Pokémon and allowed Kyurem's ''Frost Spear'' and Deoxys-EX's ''Helix Force'' to be used when more useful than Thundurus-EX (or when these Pokémon could not retreat). Different techs could be included in TDK lists, such as other Team Plasma Pokémon, switching and healing Item cards.

==Key cards==
[[File:ColressMachinePlasmaStorm119.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Colress Machine|119}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Thundurus-EX|38}}''' - Thundurus-EX's ''Raiden Knuckle'' attack dealt damage while allowing to attach any energy from the discard pile to a benched Team Plasma Pokémon. This was commonly used to charge up Kyurem. Could rarely use ''Thunderous Noise'' to knock out certain Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Kyurem|31}}''' - Kyurem's ''Frost Spear'' and ''Blizzard Burn'' were decent attacks that benefited from the deck's energy acceleration while being a single-Prize attacker. When not knocked out after using ''Blizzard Burn'', Kyurem could be switched out with an Item card to be able to use that attack again.
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Deoxys-EX|53}} ''' - Deoxys-EX's ''Power Connect'' Ability enhanced the damage of other Team Plasma Pokémon. Had a better role as a benched Pokémon, but could also use its ''Helix Force'' attack when preferred.
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Colress Machine|119}}''' - {{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Plasma Energy|127}} could be attached from the deck to Team Plasma Pokémon thanks to Colress Machine, allowing for attaching more than one Energy card per turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|XY|Muscle Band|121}}''' - Post-{{TCG|XY}}, Muscle Band was the most optimal Tool card for this deck, enhancing the Pokémon's damage by 20.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Hypnotoxic Laser|123}}''' - The additional damage counters from Poison helped the math to knock out opposing Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Float Stone|99}}''' - Free Retreat cost for Deoxys-EX and Kyurem, which could end in the Active spot at the first turn.

''The following cards are often used in TDK in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Lugia-EX|108}}''' and '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Absol|67}}''' - Secondary attackers that benefitted from the Plasma Energy/Colress Machine engine. Lugia-EX's ''Plasma Gale'' attack could deal the same amount of damage as Kyurem's ''Blizzard Burn'', even if it costed more and required the user to discard a Plasma Energy in order for it to attack, and its ''Overflow'' Ability could also allow it to take additional Prize cards from knocking out opposing Pokemon. Absol's ''Mind Jack'' attack could also do the same amount of damage as ''Blizzard Burn'' for only 2 Energy, provided that the opponent's Bench was full.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Latias-EX|85}}''' - Latias-EX's ''Bright Down'' Ability prevented it from being damaged by Pokémon with abilities, while its ''Barrier Break'' attack ignored effects on the defending Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Max Potion|94}}''' - Healed damage preferably from Thundurus-EX. Since this attacker could reattach Energy from the discard pile with one enregy, Max Potion's drawback was often not harmful.
*'''{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Scramble Switch|129}}''' - Moved Energy from the Active Pokémon that could lead to big advantages at key moments and prevent the Active Pokémon from being knocked out.

Conductivity (TCG)

|types={{e|Lightning}} {{e|Psychic}}
|era=2000-2001
}}
'''Conductivity''' is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|Deck archetype|deck archetype}} based around {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Ampharos|1}}'s [[Pokémon Power]] of the same name. It focuses on keeping the opponent's Pokémon low on Energy and punishing them for playing {{TCG|Energy card}}s from their hand.

==History==
The idea for a deck based around the theme of controlling the opponent's Energy attachments was one of the first original {{TCG|Deck archetype|deck archetype}}s created. With the release of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Super Energy Removal|79}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}}, many players began to wonder if a deck based around denying the opponent Energy attachment would be competitive. This strategy gained some ground with the release of {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Blaine's Charmander|61}} in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. Finally, the Pokémon company gave the archetype some recognition in the form of the {{TCG|Fire Extinguisher}} decklist and summary in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes Strategy Guide}}. With the release of the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion in 2002, there was a strong enough Pokémon to serve as the platform for the rest of the deck, while still fitting in with the theme: {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Ampharos|1}}.

==Strategy==
The deck is based around {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Ampharos|1}}'s ''Conductivity'' {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}, which deals 10 damage to an opponent's Pokémon each time an Energy is attached to it. Then, the rest of the deck acts quickly to discard the Energy, thus damaging the opponent's Pokémon and denying them Energy at the same time. The ideal starter is {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}, which can stall and provide hand support at the same time, which is a lethal combination to get Dark Ampharos onto the field as quickly and painlessly as possible. From that point, Dark Ampharos can sit on the bench dealing minor damage while {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Blaine's Charmander|61}}'s ''Kindle'' attack discards whatever Energy the opponent dares to attach in the first place. Other cards like {{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}} can also discard Energy, and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Item Finder|74}} ensures that those cards can be used more than once.

==Cards==
===Key cards===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Ampharos|1}}''', as described before, utilizes its ''Conductivity'' Pokémon Power to punish the opponent for attaching whatever Energy they can to their Pokémon. It is the main source of damage-infliction for the deck, as it can deal decent damage as an attacker, further boosted by any [[Darkness Energy (Special)|Darkness Energy]] attached to it.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Slowking|14}}''' denies the opponent opportunities to negate Dark Ampharos's Pokémon Power or attach extra Energy to their Pokémon through {{TCG|Trainer Card}}s.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}}''' discards Energy from opposing Pokémon, greatly limiting whatever attacking opportunities they have and diminishing their chances of winning the game.

===Other Pokémon===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}''' refreshes a player's hand, giving them card advantage and more opportunities.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Blaine's Charmander|61}}''' is a stalling option to discard Energy while the player is building up Dark Ampharos on their bench.

===Other Trainers===
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}''' is a slightly worse alternative to {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}} that doesn't use up the player's attack for the turn.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Computer Search|71}}''' searches any card from the deck, which is useful for obvious reasons.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Item Finder|74}}''' returns any {{TCG|Trainer card}} from the discard pile to the player's hand, at a cost. This allows cards like {{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}} to be re-played.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Warp Point|126}}''' retreats the player's Active Pokémon in a pinch, or swaps out the opponent's Active Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Super Energy Removal|79}}''' is a better alternative to {{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}}, but the player must also discard an Energy from one of their own Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}''' allows even more control of the opponent's game plan, shutting down their options beyond hand control.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}}''' is a simple drawing card, used in most decks to move toward card advantage.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}}''' lets a player skip an Evolution, for instance evolving {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Mareep|75}} directly into Dark Ampharos, while normally {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Flaaffy|34}} would be in the middle. This is good in that it speeds up the Evolution process, reducing the turns required by one.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Trader|77}}''' lets a player swap a Pokémon in their hand with one from their deck, which is helpful in getting Dark Ampharos onto the field as soon as possible.

===Energy cards===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Darkness Energy|104}}''' allows Dark Ampharos to do more damage when attacking.
*'''{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Full Heal Energy|81}}''' ensures that Dark Ampharos will not be affected by a special condition and have ''Conductivity'' negated.

MagneRock (TCG)

|era=2011
}}
'''MagneRock''' was a semi-popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] toward the end of the 2010-2011 season. It saw a considerable amount of play in the [[Play! Pokémon#Regional Championships|Regional Championships]] event series, going on to win at least one of them in the Masters age division. The deck's name is derived from its main attacker, [[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]], and its main support Pokémon, {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regirock|38}}.

==Strategy==
MagneRock's strategy revolved around using {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regirock|38}}'s ''Regi Cycle'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} to power [[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]]'s ''Lost Burn'' attack. The deck's ideal starting Pokémon was {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}, both for its {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}}-negating {{TCG|Poké-Body}} and its ''Darkness Grace'' attack, which allowed for quick Evolution. Spiritomb or no Spiritomb, MagneRock attempted to get multiple Magnezone Prime in play as fast as possible, along with one or two Regirock and Fighting {{TCG|Energy card|energy}} in the discard. Cards such as {{TCG|Bebe's Search}}, {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, and {{TCG|Engineer's Adjustments}} were useful in these regards. From there, the player would simply attach energy from their hand to Magnezone Prime while using ''Regi Cycle'' to recover energy from the discard onto Regirock. Once there was a sufficient amount of energy in play, the deck functioned to take six knock outs in six turns. Magnezone Prime's ''Lost Burn'' was able to one-shot any opposing Pokémon, within reason. {{TCG|Judge}} was useful in the deck since it disrupted the opponent while allowing MagneRock to setup as normal, assuming the MagneRock player could use ''Magnetic Draw'' to draw more cards.

==Key cards==
* '''[[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]]''' - As the deck's main attacker, Magnezone Prime had the ability to knock out literally any Pokémon with its ''Lost Burn'' attack, depending on the number of energy cards the MagneRock player had in play. It also provided significant drawpower in the form of its ''Magnetic Draw'' Poké-Power, which allowed the player to draw cards until they had six cards in hand. Magnezone Prime possessed a downside in its {{e}}{{e}}{{e}} Retreat Cost, but overall was the most critical card in the deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}''' - Spiritomb was the deck's ideal starting Pokémon, since its ''Keystone Seal'' Poké-Body prevented both players from using {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}} as long as it was in the active position. While this did somewhat disadvantage MagneRock, it provided a fantastic counter to the Trainer-reliant {{TCG|Pokémon SP}} decks such as {{TCG|LuxChomp}} that dominated the format. Additionally, while hindering the deck's setup in that it disallowed Trainer cards, Spiritomb assisted MagneRock with its ''Darkness Grace'' attack, which, for no energy cost, allowed the player to search their deck for a card to evolve a Benched Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Regirock|38}}''' - The other half of MagneRock's namesake, Regirock, provided the means to attach more energy each turn that would typically be permitted. With its ''Regi Cycle'' Poké-Power, Regirock let the player discard two cards from their hand to search the discard pile for a Fighting energy, and attach it to a Pokémon. After discarding an energy with {{TCG|Engineer's Adjustments}}, Regirock could inundate MagneRock's field with energy quickly, making for massive ''Lost Burns''.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}''' - For Spiritomb to function as an effective starting Pokémon, the deck needed some means to get Basic Pokémon on the field for Spiritomb to evolve with ''Darkness Grace''. Pokémon Collector, arguably the deck's most crucial {{TCG|Supporter card}}, simply provided those means.
* '''{{TCG|Engineer's Adjustments}}''' - Unless a given MagneRock list ran {{TCG|Junk Arm}}, Engineer's Adjustments provided the only way (other than a Pokémon with an energy attachment being knocked out) to place an energy card in the discard pile to initially be able to use Regirock's ''Regi Cycle'' Poké-Power. It also provided for fairly strong drawpower, allowing the user to draw four cards.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - Broken Time-Space complemented a Spiritomb-based Evolution engine very well. Instead of focusing on {{TCG|Rare Candy}} like many Stage-2 decks, Spiritomb and Broken Time-Space forced a player to evolve including the middle stage, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magneton|42}} in this case. However, as a {{TCG|Stadium card}}, Broken Time-Space circumvented Spiritomb's ''Keystone Seal'', and thus allowed a player to evolve into Magnezone Prime easily under Trainer lock. Broken Time-Space also worked well with {{TCG|Rescue Energy}}, since a knocked out Magnezone Prime would return immediately to the player's hand included all its Evolution stages. At that point, Broken Time-Space allowed the player to immediately evolve to Magnezone Prime again, losing nothing but any Energy attached to it upon initially being Knocked Out.

* '''{{TCG|Junk Arm}}''' - For players who found that Engineer's Adjustments and Regirock's ''Regi Cycle'' did not provide enough means to discard energy from the hand, Junk Arm could provide a powerful way to accomplish that and recover discarded {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainers}}.
* '''{{TCG|Sunyshore City Gym}}''' - At the time of MagneRock's viability, [[Donphan (HeartGold & SoulSilver 107)|Donphan Prime]], {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}}, and a handful of other Fighting-type Pokémon were prevalent at the time. By negating the weaknesses of Lightning-type Pokémon, Sunyshore City Gym rendered Magnezone Prime much less vulnerable to Fighting-type attacks and turned near-autolosses into neutral or even favorable matchups.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Magnezone LV.X|142}}''' - Magnezone LV.X was used primarily to eliminate the type disadvantage against Fighting types. Its function was essentially the same as that of Sunyshore City Gym, but was searchable through Bebe's Search and other cards. Magnezone LV.X also had the ''Electric Trans'' Poké-Power, which was occasionally useful for conserving energy if a Magnezone was about to be knocked out. Generally, though, the card was rarely played.
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Magnezone|5}}''' - This Magnezone, although generally less useful than the [[Magnezone (Stormfront 6)|other Stormfront Magnezone]], saw occasional play for its ''Magnetic Search'' Poké-Power. Since MagneRock only ran a handful of Lightning Energy, which were necessary for Magnezone Prime to attack, the ability to search for one came in handy. Its ''Speed Shot'' and ''Crush Voltage'' attacks, while nothing special, were useful in certain situations.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}''' - {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}} and other popular attackers of the era often had 110HP, and Magnezone Prime's ''Lost Burn'' only hit in multiples of 50. Crobat G's ''Flash Bite'' allowed for ''Lost Burn'' to take knockouts discarding only two energy cards instead of the three that would normally be necessary.
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}''' - Some MagneRock players chose to use Sableye over Spiritomb as a starting Pokémon, as Sableye had several notable advantages. While it did not prevent the opponent from player Trainer cards as Spiritomb did, it also did not prevent MagneRock from playing Trainer cards. By letting the MagneRock player go first and giving them access to an instant {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} with its ''Impersonate'' attack, Sableye allowed for a faster, more aggressive setup.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unleashed|Shaymin|8}}''' - Since ''Regi Cycle'' was incapable of attaching to Magnezone Prime, ''Lost Burn'' took two turns of energy attachment to power up under normal circumstances. Shaymin's ''Celebration Wind'' could allow ''Lost Burn'' to be charged up in one turn by moving energy from a benched Regirock to Magnezone Prime, in addition to other benefits.

}}

'''Drampa/Garb''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} mainly played in the 2017-2018 season, remaining as a contender during the 2018-2019 format. The deck's strategy revolved around punishing opposing decks that relied on too many {{TCG|Item card|Item}} and {{TCG|Special Energy card}}s through the main Pokémon's {{TCG|Attack}}s. This deck took players by surprise in an Item-heavy format, getting many top 8 spotlights at release. Drampa/Garb players ranked 8th place in the Masters Division, 4th and 6th place in the Senior Division and 7th place in the Junior Division at the [[2017 World Championships|2017 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]].

==Strategy==
Drampa/Garb introduced a counter to the commonly fast-paced decks in the format with {{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Garbodor|51}}'s ''Trashalanche'' attack, which dealt 20 damage damage times the amount of Item cards in the opponent's discard pile. Scaling damage quickly was an easy feat against players that did not adapt against Garbodor's threat, but it was as well easy to counter this strategy by playing a slower game with less played Items; due to this, {{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Drampa-GX|115}} was used in the deck as an attacker with two damaging attacks to pressure enough the opponent to play more Item cards.

For one energy cost, Drampa-GX could redraw cards with its GX Attack or discard Special Energy from the defending Pokémon. Its ''Berserk'' Attack could deal additional damage when a Benched Pokémon had any damage counters on it; the player could setup this effect by playing {{TCG|Rainbow Energy}} on benched Pokémon or {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Secret Base|32}} to damage further played Pokémon. ''Garbotoxin'' {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Garbodor|57}} was played as the deck already used Trubbish.

{{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Espeon-GX|61}} was a notable variant of this deck often played in the place of Drampa-GX. During the {{TCG|Celestial Storm}} meta, Garbodor found a better fit in the {{TCG|Buzzwole/Garbodor}} archetype, though this deck kept as a contender in the {{TCG|Expanded format}}.

==Key cards==
[[File:GarbodorBREAKpoint57.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Garbodor|51}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Drampa-GX|115}}''' - For one energy, Drampa-GX's ''Righteous Edge'' Attack dealt 20 damage while discarding a special energy from the defending Pokémon and ''Big Wheel-GX'' made the player shuffle its hand to draw 10 cards. Its main potential was with its ''Berserk'' attack for three Energy, which dealt up to 180 damage with a damaged benched Pokémon and Choice Band, knocking out most Basic Pokémon in the format with one attack.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Garbodor|51}}''' - Garbodor's ''Trashalanche'' attack did 20 damage times each Item card in the opponent's discard pile with a single {{e|Psychic}} Energy. It was a very useful late-game attacker as the opponent would have played many Items by then. Garbodor could also very rarely attack with ''Acid Spray'' for 70 damage.
* '''{{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Garbodor|57}}''' - Its ''Garbotoxin'' {{TCG|Ability}} shut down all other Abilities in play as long it had a Tool card attached to it, further controlling the opponent's pace.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Tapu Lele-GX|60}}''' - While Tapu Lele-GX was a common staple to search the deck for Supporter cards, it could easily use both of its attacks in this deck and act as a secondary attacker.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Choice Band|121}}''' - Increased the damage against active {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}.
* '''{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}''' - Decreased the needed turns to use Drampa-GX and Garbodor's expensive Attacks.
* '''{{TCG|Rainbow Energy}}''' - Played to damage benched Pokémon when attaching this card to one, powering up Drampa-GX's ''Berserk'' Attack.

* '''{{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Espeon-GX|61}}''' - Known as Espeon/Garb, this variant played Espeon-GX in favor of Drampa-GX, removing the need to damage the bench while keeping a similar playstyle. More successful than Drampa-GX at some events, especially Worlds 2017 and 2018.

Sylveon Control (TCG)

|era=2017–2018
}}

'''Sylveon Control''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} played during the 2017–2018 season. The deck's strategy revolved around {{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Sylveon-GX|92}}'s potential to draw cards with its attack for playing stall-based resources. Sylveon Control was featured in a few Regionals's Top 16s, notably claiming 1st place at the 2018 Offenbach Regionals, but was not as present in bigger events of the season and was overshadowed by the presence of {{TCG|Oranguru Stall}} in the format.

==Strategy==
[[File:LusamineCrimsonInvasion96.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Crimson Invasion|Lusamine|96}}]]
Sylveon Control aimed to have the opponent run out of cards from their deck to draw at the beginning of their turn, a possible win condition in the card game. Sylveon-GX's ''Magical Ribbon'' attack was used to draw any 3 cards from the player's deck, which would be usually healing and Energy disruption cards, and play them on the following turns. It was possible to easily setup a Sylveon-GX due to {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Eevee|101}}'s ''Energy Evolution'' {{TCG|Ability}}, allowing not only Sylveon to attack on the first turn (if going second) but also preventing Eevee, a Pokémon with 60HP, from being Knocked Out before evolving. Once per game, Sylveon-GX could also attack with ''Plea-GX'' to put the opponent's Benched Pokémon into his hand and halt the setup of some threats.

This deck was effective by ''Magical Ribbon'' needing only one Energy to use, Sylveon-GX withstanding attacks with its 200HP and the presence of {{TCG ID|Crimson Invasion|Lusamine|96}} to almost limitlessly recover {{TCG|Supporter card}}s from the discard pile. The opponent could shuffle the drawn cards back to the player's deck with {{TCG|N}}, but new cards were guaranteed to be drawn by its secondary effect. Usually only one Sylveon-GX would be in play to prevent the opponent from using {{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Guzma|115}}, the player keeping other Pokémon in their hand when Sylveon was not at the risk of being Knocked Out.
{{-}}

==Key cards==
[[File:PlumeriaBurningShadows120.jpg|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Plumeria|120}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Sylveon-GX|92}}''' - Sylveon-GX's ''Magical Ribbon'' attack cost only {{e|Fairy}} and allowed the player to search the deck for 3 cards and draw them. For three Energy, it could also use ''Plea-GX'' once per game to put two of the opponent's Benched Pokémon into his hand and rarely attack for 110 damage when needed. As a {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} however, the opponent could Knock Out less Pokémon than usual to win a game.
* '''{{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Eevee|101}}''' - ''Energy Evolution'' allowed Eevee to evolve into a Sylveon-GX from the deck when a basic Energy card was attached to it.
* '''{{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Plumeria|120}}''' - Used along with cards such as {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Crushing Hammer|115}} and {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Team Skull Grunt|133}} to have the opponent run out of Energy cards for attacks.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Max Potion|128}}''' - Healed off all damage from a Pokémon but discarded all Energy attached to it. {{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Acerola|112}} was also used with a similar utility.
* '''{{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Bodybuilding Dumbbells|113}}''' - Increased the Sylveon-GX's Hit Points this card was attached to.
* '''{{TCG ID|Crimson Invasion|Lusamine|96}}''' - Retrieved two Supporter cards from the player's discard pile to their hand. Since it could target a discarded Lusamine, this allowed a loop of Supporter card retrieval, despite preventing another Supporter from being played that turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Guzma|115}}''' - It was often useful to switch the defending Pokémon with one that could not attack (or attack for less damage) and neither retreat immediately.
* '''{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}''' - Reduced the number of Energy cards needed to use Sylveon-GX's more expensive attacks.

CMT (TCG)

|era=2012
}}
'''CMT''' was a highly successful and popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the second half of the 2011-2012 organized play season. It focused on [[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]]'s ''Forest Breath'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} for Energy acceleration, combined with {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} and {{TCG|Switch}} to switch into an attacker. The deck won multiple {{DL|Play! Pokémon|State Championships}}, and several variants performed well at the [[Play! Pokémon#National Championships|2012 U.S. National Championships]], including one top four finish in Masters. Stephan Tabaco also piloted the deck to top eight at the [[2012 World Championships]]. Its name is an acronym derived from the deck's three most critical Pokémon<nowiki>:</nowiki> '''C'''elebi Prime, [[Mewtwo-EX (Next Destinies 54)|'''M'''ewtwo-EX]], and [[Tornadus (Emerging Powers 89)|'''T'''ornadus]].

==Strategy==
The deck aimed to open with [[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]]. Ideally, the CMT player would be able to attack as early as turn one or turn two with either {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}} or {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}}. This was possible through the Energy acceleration Celebi Prime's ''Forest Breath'' provided, combined with {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} to fulfill the Energy requirements for Tornadus's ''Hurricane'' or Mewtwo-EX's ''X-Ball''. To get Celebi Prime out of the active position and begin attacking, the deck utilized either {{TCG|Switch}} or {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} depending on availability. In the event that the CMT player found him- or herself with a dead hand at some point, {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}}'s ''Portrait'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}} often provided an out. Like Celebi Prime, Smeargle worked well with Switch and Skyarrow Bridge, as the player could often avoid discarding to retreat after a ''Portrait''.

CMT was most potent early in the game. Many other archetypes of its time, such as {{TCG|ZekEels}} and {{TCG|Quad Terrakion}}, were incapable of doing much damage the first few turns, so CMT thrived on outspeeding the opponent. After getting a Tornadus or Mewtwo-EX into the active position, the deck focused on taking easy knockouts off the opponent's weak {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basics}} and support Pokémon. Although this of course benefitted CMT by giving it prizes, knocking out Pokémon so early in the game could also slow or even cripple the opponent's setup. {{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}} was especially helpful in this regard by extending the deck's reach to benched potential threats. Against decks such as ZekEels, CMT aimed to knock out as many {{TCG|Tynamo}} as possible before they evolved into {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Eelektrik|40}}, thus denying ZekEels its Energy acceleration.

If an opposing deck managed to set up fully, CMT was often far enough ahead that it could win with its few remaining resources. As with many decks, CMT could use {{TCG|N}} to drop both players' hands should the game become close near the end. The deck played an unusually large number of Supporter cards as well as Smeargle, so it often had a better chance to draw an out than the opposition after a late game N.

==Key cards==
[[File:DoubleColorlessEnergyHeartGoldSoulSilver103.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}]]
* '''[[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]]''' - Celebi Prime provided the deck's main Energy acceleration via its ''Forest Breath'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}. If Celebi Prime was active, ''Forest Breath'' allowed for the attachment of one {{e|Grass}} Energy card from the player's hand to one of his or her Pokémon, in addition to the typical Energy attachment for the turn. Since Celebi Prime had a retreat cost of {{e}}, it could retreat for free with {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} in play. By attaching one Energy card via ''Forest Breath'' and one Energy from the hand, and subsequently retreating or {{TCG|Switch}}ing Celebi Prime, CMT could deal as much as {{tt|80 damage|via Tornadus's Hurricane}} turn one.
* '''{{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}}''' - Mewtwo-EX, along with Tornadus, was one of CMT's main attackers. Although it gave up two prizes when knocked out and was vulnerable to an opponent's Mewtwo-EX, its ''X-Ball'' attack could be charged with only one {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} and was capable of doing more damage than ''Hurricane''. As the aforementioned {{TCG|ZekEels}} was a major archetype at the time, Mewtwo-EX was critical to knocking out {{TCG|Tynamo}} early even without ''Forest Breath''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}}''' - Variants of CMT existed without Tornadus (generally called '''CM'''), but many players opted to run Tornadus both for added power early in the game and as a counter to {{TCG|Quad Terrakion}} and [[Mew (Triumphant 97)|Mew Prime]]-based decks. With one ''Forest Breath'' and a Double Colorless Energy, Tornadus was able to do 80 damage with ''Hurricane'', 20 damage more than ''X-Ball'' was capable of with three Energy attached.
* '''{{TCG|Junk Arm}}''' - Although Junk Arm's status as a critical card was not unique to CMT (most non-Trainer lock decks of the era played four), it was very important to the deck's success. Many claimed that Junk Arm essentially allowed CMT to play eight {{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}}. In practice, this was rare, since the player typically found him- or herself expending some Junk Arms to retrieve other useful {{TCG|Trainer card}}s from the discard. Still, Junk Arm was versatile and powerful.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Catcher}}''' - If an opponent managed to set up quickly, CMT was usually in a bad position; attackers such as {{TCG ID|Black & White|Zekrom|47}} outmatched it in terms of raw power. However, without support Pokémon for Energy acceleration and other non-attacking effects, other archetypes typically fell under CMT's onslaught. Pokémon Catcher was critical in this regard, by allowing the deck to knock out benched support Pokémon and their respective Basics.
* '''{{TCG|Dual Ball}}''' - With some slower decks using {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}, a {{TCG|Supporter card}}, to search for Basic Pokémon, CMT's need for speed demanded a faster, though less consistent, method. Dual Ball had a 75% chance of retrieving at least one Basic Pokémon from the deck, a valuable effect given that CMT played only Basic Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG|Switch}}''' - Since the deck aimed to attach Energy via Celebi Prime's ''Forest Breath'', and ''Forest Breath'' only worked while Celebi Prime was active, Switch gave CMT the option to change into an attacker without discarding Energy to retreat. This way, the player could focus on attaching Energy to attackers without wasting them on Celebi Prime.
* '''{{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}}''' - Skyarrow Bridge served essentially the same function as Switch. Celebi Prime only had a retreat cost of {{e}}, so Skyarrow Bridge allowed it to retreat for free as long as it remained in play. Although it was usable throughout the game, Skyarrow Bridge lacked the versatility of Switch. Mewtwo-EX and {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Regigigas-EX|82}} still had to discard Energy to retreat with Skyarrow Bridge in play, whereas they could be Switched for no cost. Also, Skyarrow Bridge's effect was only useful once per turn, while if a player had multiple Switch in hand, he or she could use all of them.
* '''{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}''' - Mewtwo-EX's ''X-Ball'', Tornadus's ''Hurricane'', and both of Regigigas-EX's attacks could be powered either partially or fully by the {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}} that Double Colorless Energy provided. It also made it easier for Mewtwo-EX to return a knockout against an opposing Mewtwo-EX, in a dynamic known in the TCG community as a ''Mewtwo war''. If the opponent had just taken a knockout with ''X-Ball'', the CMT player could play down a Mewtwo-EX, attach Double Colorless Energy, and (sometimes requiring a {{TCG|PlusPower}}) knock it out that turn.

[[File:TerrakionNobleVictories73.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Terrakion|73}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Terrakion|73}}''' - After the release of the {{TCG|Dark Explorers}} expansion in May 2012, CMT needed a way to deal with {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Darkrai-EX|63}}. Darkrai-EX resisted {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Mewtwo-EX|54}} and was capable of knocking out any Pokémon in the deck in two attacks. As its ''Night Spear'' attack also hit a benched Pokémon for 30 damage (in addition to the 90 it dealt to the Defending Pokémon), Darkrai-EX could knock out a benched [[Celebi (Triumphant 92)|Celebi Prime]] in two attacks. Although the addition of Terrakion, along with {{TCG|Fighting Energy}} to power its attacks, somewhat decreased CMT's consistency, it greatly improved the deck's matchup against {{TCG|Darkrai/Terrakion}}, {{TCG|DMT}}, and other Darkrai-EX-based archetypes.
* '''{{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Tornadus-EX|90}}''' - Tornadus-EX effectively took the place of {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Tornadus|89}} from {{TCG|Emerging Powers}} upon the release of the Dark Explorers. Builds utilizing Tornadus-EX tended to run a higher count of {{TCG|Skyarrow Bridge}} than those that did not. Although Tornadus-EX was a two-prize liability against ZekEels and other {{TCG|Lightning}}-type decks, it was more powerful than the Emerging Powers Tornadus and gave CMT an enhanced ability to donk.
* '''{{TCG|Random Receiver}}''' - Random Receiver was used to increase consistency and make the deck less susceptible to a late-game {{TCG|N}}. If the player had already used Random Receiver, it was searchable through {{TCG|Junk Arm}}, meaning an {{TCG|N}}'d player needed only to draw a Junk Arm ''or'' a Supporter as an out.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unleashed|Shaymin|8}}''' - Shaymin was a common inclusion in CMT. When Shaymin was played from the hand, its ''Celebration Wind'' Poké-Power allowed the player to move Energy cards freely between his or her Pokémon. This made it possible to conserve Energy by removing them from a damaged Pokémon, and to catch the opponent off-guard by powering up an attacker that could not normally be powered up in one turn. Since Mewtwo-EX's ''X-Ball'' did damage partially based on the number of Energy attached to it, a player could also attack for a large amount of damage suddenly with Mewtwo-EX by ''Celebration Wind''ing a lot of Energy to it.
* '''{{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Shaymin-EX|5}}''' - The possibility of starting with Shaymin-EX made it a little-used tech. However, it was a viable inclusion in the deck because its ''Revenge Blast'' attack could be powered up in one turn via ''Forest Breath'' and one other attachment. For {{e|Grass}}{{e|Colorless}}, ''Revenge Blast'' dealt 30 damage plus 30 more damage for each prize the opponent had taken. This provided a powerful endgame attack, particularly against EX-centric decks. If the opponent had one prize left, ''Revenge Blast'' did 180 damage, enough to knock out any Pokémon. Shaymin-EX was held in check by its fragile 110HP.
* '''{{TCG|Super Scoop Up}}''' - Super Scoop Up was used as an occasional alternative to {{TCG|Switch}}. Although it required a coin flip to be successful, it could pick up damaged attackers as well as removing an unwanted Pokémon from the active position.
* '''{{TCG|Energy Exchanger}}''' - As {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} was so critical to the deck's strategy, Energy Exchanger was used as an occasional means of searching it out of the CMT player's deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Virizion|17}}''' - Virizion was used primarily as a tech option against {{TCG|Quad Terrakion}}. Although CMT tended to have a somewhat favorable matchup against Quad Terrakion to begin with, the inclusion of Virizion turned it into a virtual autowin. For three Energy, Virizion's ''Sacred Sword'' did 100 damage. However, against a 2× weak Defending Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Terrakion|73}}, this turned into a whopping 200 damage. Since Quad Terrakion focused on keeping a single Terrakion alive for a long time before moving to another, Virizion's ability to knock them out in one attack was devastating.

One-Turn-Knockout (TCG)

{{DeckInfobox
|title=One-Turn-Knockout
|types={{e|Colorless}}{{e|Fighting}}{{e|Grass}}
|cards={{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}}, {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}}, {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}}, {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}
}}
'''One-Turn-Knockout''', also known as '''Erika's Jigglypuff''' or '''Pulled Punches''', is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] [[Deck archetype (TCG)|deck archetype]] based around {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}}. It was moderately popular due to its potential to knock out most of the opponent's Pokémon in one turn, hence the name. A major benefit to the deck is that {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}} needs only Colorless Energy to attack, meaning the player could reap the benefits of {{TCG|Full Heal Energy}} and {{TCG|Potion Energy}} and still use them to power an attacker.

==History==
The archetype arose soon after the release of the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} set, though its popularity was limited. However, with the right cards and decent luck, it could prove extremely formidable. This was recognized, and {{ct|Fighting}} cards became more widely used. {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}}, like many Colorless cards, is weak to Fighting.

==Strategy==
{{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}} is the ideal starting Pokémon, as it has inexpensive attacks and can easily deal good damage early in the game. The player would also want an {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}} on their bench as soon as possible, and a {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}} if possible. The {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}} is crucial because it prevents both players from playing Evolution cards, which could likely take more than one hit with '''Pulled Punch''' from {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}}. The purpose of the deck is to knock out the opponent's Pokémon with '''Pulled Punch''' as soon as possible, so it's vital that they have Pokémon with low Hit Points. As for {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}}, it prevents the opponent from playing defensive {{TCG|Trainer Card}}s, such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Defender|80}}. However, if the player can get {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}} onto their bench before {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}}, they should do so even though it prevents them from playing {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}}. {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}} is far more important. From then on, users of the deck aim to knock out the opponent's Pokémon as quickly as possible, healing with {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}}'s '''Group Therapy''' when needed.

==Cards==
===Key Cards===
*{{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}} is the main attacker for the deck, using '''Pulled Punch''' to do 40 damage to a non-damaged Defending Pokémon, but only 10 to a damaged one for two Colorless Energy. Ideally, it will defeat any the Defending Pokémon in one hit. A bonus is its '''Group Therapy''' attack, removing one damage counter from every Pokémon in play. This can come in handy if '''Pulled Punch''' does result in a one-hit KO, because the player will be the only one healing.
*{{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}} prevents both players from playing {{TCG|Evolution}} cards, which is great for this deck because the main attacker is a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} and because Evolved Pokémon will usually have more than 40 Hit Points, making them invulnerable to a one-hit knockout.
*{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}} prevents the opponent from healing or playing any {{TCG|Trainer Card}}s which could give them the advantage, because this deck is really about pure power.
*{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} is amazing here because it provides both energy needed to use '''Pulled Punch''' without any negative side effects. It can be looked at as a 2-for-1 deal.

===Other Pokémon===
*{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Oddish|63}} is not very useful on its own, and is only in the deck to evolve into {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}} through {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}}.
*{{TCG ID|Fossil|Mysterious Fossil|62}} is useless on its own, and is only in the deck to evolve into {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}}, which is crucial.<ref group="lower-alpha">While Mysterious Fossil is technically a {{TCG|Trainer Card}}, it is listed here due to being treated as a Basic Pokémon.</ref>
*{{TCG ID|Jungle|Kangaskhan|5}} is a wall, to be used early in the game for drawing support with its '''Fetch''' attack. If absolutely necessary, it can also be used as a power attacker because its other attack, '''Comet Punch''', has decent potential for four Colorless Energy.

===Other Trainers===
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} is to evolve {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Oddish|63}} into {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}}.
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Trader|77}} is useful because it swaps out any Pokémon from the player's hand with one from their deck, allowing them to find the one that is most useful for their current situation.
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|PlusPower|84}} can give '''Pulled Punch''' that extra boost it needs to knock out that Evolution or big basic Pokémon in one hit.
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} provides drawing support.
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}} provides hand refreshment.
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Computer Search|71}} searches any card out of the player's deck at a minor cost, which is useful for obvious reasons.
*{{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}} gives the player some control over their opponent's field, letting them choose which Pokémon their opponent has active (temporarily).

===Other Energy Cards===
*{{TCG|Potion Energy}} heals a Pokémon, while at the same time powering its attacks.
*{{TCG|Full Heal Energy}} removes special conditions from a Pokémon, and, as it would be disastrous if {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}} or {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Jigglypuff|69}} were affected by a special condition. Like [[Potion Energy (TCG)|Potion Energy]], it also powers the Pokémon's attacks.
*{{TCG|Rainbow Energy}} can power {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Vileplume|13}} or {{TCG ID|Fossil|Aerodactyl|1}} if need be.

Sablelock (TCG)

|title=Sablelock

|types={{e|Darkness}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Psychic}}
|era=2010-2011
}}
'''Sablelock''' was widely regarded as the best deck in the format during the second half of the 2009-2010 season. Among many other tournament victories with the deck, a Sablelock player, Con Le, was the winner of the 2010 [[Play! Pokémon#National Championships|United States National Championships]]. Sablelock was played for its disruptive capabilities, ability to donk, and ease of setup. Many cards in Sablelock were {{TCG|Rotation|rotated}} prior to the 2011 United States [[Play! Pokémon#National Championships|National Championships]]; the deck is no longer legal for competitive play. An alternative variation of Sablelock, dubbed '''Chenlock''', relied heavily on {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}} and utilized {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB|2}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB LV.X|142}} as alternative attackers.

==Strategy==
[[File:CyrusInitiativeSupremeVictors137.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Cyrus's Initiative|137}}]]
The ideal start for Sablelock was, as the name suggests, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}. Sableye's ''Overeager'' Poké-Body allowed the player to always go first when starting with it, except against another Sableye. Going first, although it prevented the player from using {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, {{TCG|Supporter card}}s, or {{TCG|Stadium card}}s, allowed Sableye to either knock out the opponent's Active Pokémon with ''Overconfident'' or use ''Impersonate'' to use whatever Supporter they chose. ''Overconfident'' cost only one {{e|Darkness}} energy. With a [[Darkness Energy (Special)|Special Darkness energy]], it reached 50 damage, enough to knock out many Basic Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}} could often be played to do an additional 10 damage with its ''Flash Bite'' Poké-Power. Sablelock occasionally won by knocking out the opponent's only Basic Pokémon on the first turn. However, if a knockout was not possible, ''Impersonate'' was used. Generally, the Supporter chosen was a {{TCG|Cyrus's Initiative}} to decrease the opponent's options early in the game, but if Sablelock was subject to a bad start, {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}} and {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}} were common choices.

After the first turn, Sablelock attempted to lock down the opponent by limiting the cards they had in hand through Cyrus's Initiative, {{TCG|Judge}}, {{TCG ID|Platinum|Giratina|9}}, and {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}}. Judge and Giratina's ''Let Loose'' Poké-Power functioned in essentially the same way, dropping the opponent's hand size to four cards. {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Chatot G|54}} could rearrange the top four cards of the opponent's deck so that they could not draw into useful cards and recover from the lock. While limiting the opponent's options, Sablelock aimed to snipe the opponent's bench and knocks out their Basics for cheap prizes using {{TCG ID|Platinum|Honchkrow G|77}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}.

[[File:CyrusConspiracyPlatinum105.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Cyrus's Conspiracy|105}}]]
Sablelock had a strong {{TCG|engine}} in {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}. Cyrus's Conspiracy allowed the player to search their deck for one Supporter card, one Trainer card with ''Team Galactic's Invention'' in its name, and one {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}. This meant that the Sablelock player could usually keep their hand stocked with useful Supporters, keep up a high level of disruption with Power Spray, and always have the Energy necessary to attack. {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}} was a critical part of the deck because it provided a powerful drawing ability in its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power. Early in the game, Sablelock often ran low on cards. ''Set Up'' replenished the hand by allowing the player to draw until they had seven cards. Uxie could later be leveled up into {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie LV.X|146}} for extra drawing with its ''Trade Off'' Poké-Power and a powerful attack in ''Zen Blade''.

==Key Cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}''' - Sableye was used to take early knockouts with ''Overconfident'' and for earlygame setup and/or disruption with ''Impersonate''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}''' - Garchomp C LV.X provided a powerful attacker that could do 80 damage to any opponent's Pokémon for only {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}} with ''Dragon Rush''. This cost was generally covered by {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}} and one {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}.
* {{TCG ID|Platinum|Honchkrow G|77}} - Essentially a weaker but more consistent version of Garchomp C LV.X, Honchkrow G could do 40 damage to any Pokémon in play with damage on it for {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Darkness}} with ''Target Attack''. If a Sableye start was not possible, Honchkrow G could also assist the Sablelock player's setup with ''Honcho's Command''.
* {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Honchkrow|29}} - Honchkrow was the deck's heavy hitter. It was used to knock out an opponent's Active Pokémon, whereas Garchomp C LV.X was typically used to attack the bench. It was initially used in the deck as a counter to {{TCG|Machamp archetype|Machamp}}, a tremendous threat to Sablelock.
* {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}} - Uxie was a one-time-use support Pokémon, allowing the player to draw extra cards with its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power.
* {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}} - As described above, Cyrus's Conspiracy was the deck's most important searching Supporter card.
* {{TCG|Cyrus's Initiative}} - Cyrus's Initiative was commonly used through Sableye's ''Impersonate'' to limit the opponent's cards in hand early in the game.
* {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}} - Poké Turn allowed the Sablelock player to scoop up any {{TCG|Pokémon SP}} and return it to their hand. This effect was often used to allow the usage of ''Dragon Rush'' two turns in a row by scooping up Garchomp C LV.X; to use Crobat G's ''Flash Bite'' multiple times; or to rectify a bad start such as {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Chatot G|54}}.
* {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}} was used to prevent the opponent from using Poké-Powers to set up early in the game. Power Spraying an opponent's ''{{tt|Set Up|Uxie's Poké-Power}}'' could be devastating if the opponent had few cards in their hand.
* {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}} was used to power Garchomp C LV.X's ''Dragon Rush'', and the attacks of other Pokémon SP, more efficiently.
* {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} - Double Colorless Energy was vitally important to Sablelock, as it provided an inexpensive way to power up Garchomp C LV.X's ''Dragon Rush'' and Honchkrow's ''Riot'' attacks.
* {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Chatot G|54}} - Chatot G's Poké-Power, ''Disrupting Spy'', let the user look at the top four cards of the opponent's deck and put them back in any order. This generally allowed the Sablelock player to force the opponent to draw poorly, furthering the extent to which their setup was disrupted. Chatot G could use its free attack, ''Search and Escape'', to search the deck for a trainer card and also putting Chatot G in the deck.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:MewtwoLVXLegendsAwakened144.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Sablelock in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
* {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB|2}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Blaziken FB LV.X|142}} - Although Blaziken FB LV.X was used exclusively as an additional attacker, Blaziken FB had the potential to assist with Sablelock's disruption goal. With its ''Luring Flame'' attack, Blaziken FB could bring up an opponent's benched Pokémon to the active spot. The ability to remove the opponent's starter from the active position and bring up a weakened attacker or support Pokémon from the opponent's bench proved greatly valuable in Chenlock variants of the deck.
* {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}} - After its release in the {{TCG|Undaunted}} expansion, Smeargle became almost a staple in Sablelock variants. Two to three copies of the card were used for its ''Portrait'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}, which often allowed the deck an extra {{TCG|Supporter card}} play each turn. Smeargle is not included in the above list, as its inclusion in the deck came after the height of Sablelock's popularity.
* {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}} - Mewtwo LV.X provides a way to easily beat other decks based on Pokémon SP. Its Poké-Body, ''Psybarrier'' prevents it from being damaged by Basic Pokémon.
* {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Azelf|19}} - Azelf's ''Time Walk'' Poké-Power can be used in the event that an important Pokémon card(s) is prized. The above build does not use Azelf because it runs two of most critical Pokémon, such as Garchomp C LV.X and Honchkrow.
* {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Slowking|12}} - Slowking's Poké-Power, ''Second Sight'', lets the user look at the top three cards of the opponent's or user's deck and put them back on top in any order. This is very similar to Chatot G's ''Disrupting Spy''. However, it can look at the top cards of both decks and can only look at the top three cards. Slowking can take up bench space and can't be picked up by Poké-Turn like Chatot G can but it can look at the top cards of the opponent's deck every turn so the user can disrupt, unlike Chatot G which has to be picked up in order to use its Poké-Power again.
* {{TCG|Cyclone Energy}} - Cyclone Energy fits in with the concept of disruption, since it forces the opponent to change their Active Pokémon and, as a result, their attacking pattern.
* {{TCG|Aaron's Collection}} - Aaron's Collection can be used in place of Palmer's Contribution. Although it does not allow the Sablelock player to retrieve as many Pokémon and Energy cards from their discard pile, they are put into the player's hand rather than shuffled into their deck.

Forretress Donk (TCG)

}}
'''Forretress Donk''' is a {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] using {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Forretress|28}}. It uses the {{tcg|Unlimited format}}.

==History==
A less consistent version of this deck was played during the Diamond & Pearl era using {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Blastoise|2}} for the extra Energy attachment. This version lacked the unlimited Energy loop, required more Energy cards, and lacked the consistent healing. In the Unlimited format, Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|Black & White|Emboar|20}} and {{TCG ID|BREAKthrough|Magnezone|54}} may provide alternate Energy attachment.

==Strategy==
[[File:ShuckleHGSSPromo15.jpg|thumb|200px|right|{{TCG ID|HGSS Promo|Shuckle|15}}]]

Forretress Donk is designed to win on the very first turn of the game (a Donk City) by taking all prize cards and/or knocking out all of the opponent's Pokémon. The ideal start would be {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Sableye|48}}; its ''Overeager'' {{TCG|Poké-BODY}} allows the player to go first when played in the Active position.

The deck's draw engine allows the player to draw all cards of their deck with a single Energy card. {{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Blastoise|31}} and its alternatives allow the player to attach, as often as they like, Energy cards of a respective type to Pokémon in play. The Energy is attached to {{TCG ID|HGSS Promo|Shuckle|15}}; its ''Fermenting Liquid'' Poké-BODY lets the player draw a card every time an Energy card is attached to it. {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Espeon|H9}}'s ''Energy Return'' Poké-POWER allows the player to return those Energy cards to the hand. This establishes an infinite loop of drawing with Shuckle.

After drawing the needed cards, the next step would be to get out {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Forretress|28}} and {{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Leafeon|45}}. The Energy would be attached to Forretress instead of Shuckle. Forretress's ''Iron Shell'' Poké-BODY has the player flip a coin every time an Energy card is attached to it; tails places 2 damage counters on all Pokémon (excluding any Forretress). The damage to the player's Pokémon can be continuously healed with Leafeon's Poké-BODY.

==Key cards==
*'''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Forretress|28}}''' - Its ''Iron Shell'' Poké-BODY is activated when the player attaches an Energy card to it. The player flips a coin, if it is tails place 2 damage counters on all Pokémon (excluding any Forretress).
*'''{{TCG ID|Boundaries Crossed|Blastoise|31}}''' - Its ''Deluge'' {{TCG|Ability}} lets the player attach {{e|Water}} Energy from their hand as often as they like during their turn.
*'''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Espeon|H9}}''' - Its Poké-POWER is used to return Energy cards attached to the player's Pokémon, allowing an infinite loop of their utilities.
*'''{{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Eevee|11}}''' - Eevee's ''Chain Reaction'' Pokémon Power forces the Eevee to evolve from the deck when the player evolves one of the other Pokémon. This effectively allows the player to use search resources in other Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|HGSS Promo|Shuckle|15}}''' - Primary draw power of the deck. By attachment of Energy to Shuckle, the player will be able to draw their whole deck and have all resources available (note: you only lose if you cannot draw at the ''beginning'' of your turn).
*'''{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Leafeon|45}}''' - When it is the Active Pokémon, its ''Energy Refresh'' Poké-BODY allows the healing of all of the player's Pokémon when an Energy card is attached to Leafeon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Its ''Set Up'' Poké-POWER allows the player to draw cards until they have seven cards in their hand.
*'''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Broken Time-Space|104}}''' - Allows the player to evolve Pokémon on the same turn they are played; this also allows Evolution on the first turn.

Primal-Groudon-EX (TCG)

'''Primal-Groudon-EX''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} mainly played in the 2014-2015 season and became a contender in the {{TCG|Expanded format}} up to the 2018-2019 season. The deck's strategy revolved around stalling tactics to setup {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Groudon-EX|86}} in the bench to deal powerful one-hit knockouts once the Pokémon had the necessary energy to attack. Primal Groudon-EX had a unique spot in the metagame thanks to its ''Ω Barrier'' [[Ancient Trait]], which prevented the opponent from playing {{TCG ID|Flashfire|Lysandre|90}} and other harmful Trainer cards while the Pokémon would be set up. This deck was popular at the first day of the [[2015 World Championships|2015 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]] and ranked 2nd place in the Juniors Division. Runner-up of the Junior Division Alejandro Ng-Guzman's version was printed as a promotional World Championships deck, {{TCG|Primal Groudon}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:KorrinaFuriousFists95.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Korrina|95}}]]
Primal-Groudon-EX differed from archetypes such as {{TCG|Night March}} in that it did not focus on fast first turn set up to maximize the damage output. Rather, the deck would optimally set {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Wobbuffet|36}} in the active spot, since its ''Bide Barricade'' {{TCG|Ability}} negated Abilities from non-{{e|Psychic}} Pokémon, and setup {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Groudon-EX|85}} in the bench, aiming to evolve it the next turn since only the Evolution card had the Ancient Trait. Primal Groudon-EX's ''Gaia Volcano'' {{TCG|Attack}} would deal 100 damage plus 100 by discarding a Stadium card in play, ensuring Stadium cards were part of the decklist. For a four energy cost, the player could deal up to 300 damage if Primal Groudon-EX had four {{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Strong Energy|104}} attached to it and {{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Fighting Stadium|90}} was in play, being able to knock out every Pokémon by then in a single attack.

Up to two copies of {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Mega Turbo|86}} for energy acceleration were used in common decklists, as additional numbers used to hurt deck consistency; because of that, an unfortunate player would sometimes need four turns to attach the necessary Energy. Primal Groudon-EX's big {{TCG|Hit Points}} and the use of {{TCG ID|XY|Hard Charm|119}} to tank attacks, however, made the Pokémon sturdy even when it was being set up in the active spot. By the time the player could use ''Gaia Volcano'', the opponent would have already gotten a few [[prize card]]s due to knocking out Wobbuffet but should fall behind once it struggled to knock out Primal Groudon-EX. As a Mega Evolution/Primal Reversion ruling, the player end his or her turn by evolving Groudon without the respective [[Groudon Spirit Link (Primal Clash 131)|Spirit Link card]]. Including this card was not a concern, since Primal Groudon-EX could evolve in a turn it would not be able to attack.

Other cards helped Primal Groudon's setup engine to work. {{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Korrina|95}} was used to find {{e|Fighting}} Pokémon and valuable Item cards in the deck. {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Robo Substitute|102}} was an expendable Pokémon that denied the opponent's prize cards when knocked out and could be discarded from the active position, but as an Item card could not be played on the first turn.

==Key cards==
[[File:StrongEnergyFuriousFists104.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Strong Energy|104}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Groudon-EX|86}}''' - Primal Groudon-EX's ''Gaia Volcano'' attack could knock out virtually every Pokémon in the format with a Stadium card in play and Strong Energy. Thanks to its high HP, it could also survive attacks from many Pokémon in the metagame.
* '''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Wobbuffet|36}}''' - While in the Active position, its ''Bide Barricade'' Ability slowed down many Ability-based decks while Primal Groudon could be charged on the bench.
*'''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Bunnelby|121}}''' - Bunnelby is a resource shuffler in critical moments, since attaching an energy on it instead of a Groudon-EX is almost a wasted turn. Also rarely a win condition by making the opponent run out of cards in the deck with its second attack.
* '''{{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Strong Energy|104}}''' - Each Strong Energy added 20 damage to Primal Groudon-EX's attacks, allowing it to knockout Primal/Mega Pokémon with a Stadium card and other Pokémon without needing one.
* '''{{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Korrina|95}}''' - Korrina searched {{e|Fighting}} Pokémon and Item cards in the deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|XY|Hard Charm|119}}''' - Allowed Primal Groudon-EX to survive more attacks than usual, also compensating the early prize card disadvantage.
* '''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Robo Substitute|102}}''' - Alternative expendable Pokémon that granted no prize cards when knocked out.
* '''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Silent Lab|140}}''' - Silent Lab prevented Abilities from Basic Pokémon that Wobbuffet could not block from working. Also allowed Primal Groudon to attack Pokémon immune to damage by Abilities.
* '''{{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Fighting Stadium|90}}''' - Fighting Stadium added 20 damage to attacks against {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}.

[[File:TropicalBeachBWPromo28.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tropical Beach|28}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Primal-Groudon-EX in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
* '''{{TCG ID|XY Promo|Regirock|49}}''' - Secondary attacker that also had the ''Ω Barrier'' Ancient Trait. Mainly useful at recycling Stadium cards to the player's hand.
* '''{{TCG|Psychic Energy}}''' - One copy of Psychic energy allowed Wobbuffet to attack at critical moments without hurting the deck's integrity, though it was never favorable to attach Energy to this Pokémon instead of a main attacker.
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Storm|Scramble Switch|129}}''' - An one-time trick to prevent an attacker from being knocked out, moving its Energy to the new Active Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Focus Sash|91}}''' - Focus Sash was useful against other Primal Groudon-EX decks and, later on, Pokémon that hit Groudon for {{TCG|Weakness}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Shrine of Memories|139}}''' - An aggressive approach that allowed Primal Groudon-EX to use Groudon-EX's ''Rip Claw'' attack while it was being set up and ''Massive Rend'' to not discard a Stadium card in play.
* '''{{TCG ID|BW Promo|Tropical Beach|28}}''' - Tropical Beach allowed the player to draw cards in a turn it could not use an attack, being an useful but physically expensive Stadium to this deck in Expanded tournaments.
* '''{{TCG ID|Flashfire|Pokémon Center Lady|93}}''' - A healing option that could prevent Primal Groudon-EX from being knocked out the next turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick|133}}''' - Due to Groudon-EX's vulnerability to Trainer cards, Maxie's Hidden Ball Trick allowed the player to skip the evolutionary stage at the cost of building their deck around activating this card on the first turn.

==Reasons for the loss of playability==
While this deck showed decent results at its release and was followed by the 2015-2016 rotation reducing the amount of opposing decks in Standard, further expansions introduced the {{TCG|Mega Rayquaza EX}} archetype, whose main attacker had {{e|Fighting}} Resistance and a faster setup, and {{TCG|Vespiquen Box}} which hit Mega Groudon-EX for its {{e|Grass}} Weakness while being an one-prize attacker. {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Hoopa-EX|36}} and {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Unown|30}} were also Pokémon with supporting Abilities that ignored Wobbuffet's ''Bide Barricade'' restriction and allowed the opponent to get a faster setup pace. This deck was still seen in Expanded tournaments where {{e|Grass}} Pokémon were less present, but eventually new decks overcame Primal Groudon's slow setup, {{e|Grass}} decks became more common in the Expanded metagame and even stall decks could ignore the need to use Item cards against Primal Groudon-EX.

|era=2002-2003
}}
'''SMF''', short for '''Scizor/Muk/Furret''', was a popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the 2002-2003 season. [[Jason Klaczynski]] took first place with this deck at the Gen Con 2003 [[Fan Appreciation Tournament]], organized by Wizards of the Coast after they were denied the licensing rights for the [[EX Ruby & Sapphire]] set.

The deck's name is derived from the first letters of {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Scizor|H21}}, {{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|13}}, and {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Furret|48}}, the deck's three main Pokémon. Variations of SMF without Muk exist, but Muk was popular for giving deck more favorable matchups against {{TCG|Feraligatr/Parasect}} and other popular archetypes of the time.

==Strategy==
SMF's strategy was characteristic of the time in that it relied on an obvious combination between two Pokémon: {{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Scizor|H21}} and {{TCG|Aquapolis|Furret|48}}, both from the {{TCG|Aquapolis}} expansion. The deck focused on getting at least one Scizor and at least one Furret into play as soon as possible and, depending on the matchup, one {{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|13}}. SMF's ideal starter was {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}, which provided near-unlimited hand refreshment early in the game for only {{e|Colorless}}. Cleffa, in combination with {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer}} and {{TCG|Supporter card|Supporter}} cards such as {{TCG|Pokémon Fan Club}}, {{TCG|Professor Elm}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon Trader}}, made it possible for the deck to set up quickly. Once SMF had Scizor and Furret in play, the deck aimed to attach several [[Metal Energy (Special)|Metal]] and {{TCG|Rainbow Energy|Rainbow}} Energy cards to an active Scizor. Furret's ''Scavenger Hunt'' Poké-Power made searching these Energy out of the deck a simple matter. From there, the player simply attacked with Scizor, expending {{TCG|Gold Berry|Gold Berries}} and {{TCG|Double Gust|Double Gusts}} as necessary for healing and easy prizes, respectively. {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Suicune|27}} was utilized in most variants as a counter to Double Gust, since its ''Legendary Body'' Pokémon Power prevented it from being affected by Trainer cards. {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Mantine|74}} was another common inclusion for its strength against {{TCG|Fire|Fire-type}} Pokémon such as those used in {{TCG|EnteiCargo}}.

==Key cards==
* '''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Scizor|H21}}''' - Scizor was the deck's main attacker. Its Poké-Body, ''Poison Resistance'', was useful against {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Beedrill|H4}}'s ''Venom Spray'' Poké-Power by preventing Scizor from being Poisoned. While Scizor's ''Snatch'' attack was occasionally useful, an SMF player aimed to use ''Heavy Metal'' often. ''Heavy Metal,'' Scizor's second attack, was able to do a significant amount of damage if Scizor had several Metal Energy attached to it. Since Metal Energy also reduced the amount of damage Scizor took from attacks, SMF typically attempted to stack several on a single Scizor to allow it to survive longer while doing more damage with ''Heavy Metal''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Furret|48}}''' - Furret complemented Scizor well with its ''Scavenger Hunt'' Poké-Power. ''Scavenger Hunt'' allowed the SMF player to trade two cards in hand for one Energy card from their deck. Because Special Energy cards such as Metal Energy are typically difficult to search out of a player's deck, Furret increased the pace at which the player could stack Metal Energy cards on Scizor. ''Scavenger Hunt'' also increased the effectiveness with which SMF could tech different {{TCG|Special Energy card|Special Energy cards}} for unique situations.
* '''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|13}}''' - Muk's Pokémon Power, ''Toxic Gas'', negated all other Pokémon Powers in play. ''Toxic Gas'' made Furret's ''Scavenger Hunt'' unusable, so the SMF player needed to be very careful when playing Muk. However, it provided a strong counter to {{TCG|Feraligatr/Parasect}}, another popular archetype of the time. ''Toxic Gas'' shut off {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}'s ''Downpour'' Pokémon Power as well as {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Parasect|35}}'s ''Allergic Pollen'' Pokémon Power, greatly decreasing Feraligatr/Parasect's damage output.
* '''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}''' - Cleffa provided SMF with significant draw support in the form of its ''Eeeeeeek'' attack. ''Eeeeeeek'', for a cost of {{e|Colorless}}, allowed the SMF player to shuffle their hand into the deck and draw a new hand of seven cards. Since SMF needed a relatively large number of cards to set up completely, Cleffa was very valuable early in the game.
* '''{{TCG|Gold Berry}}''' - Gold Berry assisted with the deck's strategy of tanking a single Scizor for a long time. While Metal Energy reduced the damage Scizor took from attacks, Gold Berry removed much of the damage that an opponent did manage to do, making Scizor even more difficult to Knock Out.

* '''{{TCG ID|Skyridge|Oracle|138}}''' and '''{{TCG ID|Legendary Collection|Bill|108}}''' - Used in place of the deck's typical drawing support ({{TCG ID|Expedition|Copycat|138}} and {{TCG ID|Expedition|Professor Oak's Research|149}}), Oracle and Bill effectively allowed the SMF player to search their deck for any two cards once per turn. Oracle, a {{TCG|Supporter card}}, placed any two cards on top of the player's deck, while Bill allowed the player to draw those two cards. It was a more precise, but less consistent, drawing engine, as it required the player to have two specific cards in hand to function properly.
* '''{{TCG ID|Neo Discovery|Tyrogue|66}}''' - {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}} such as {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}} and {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Pichu|12}} were popular in SMF's era, and Tyrogue provided a way to knock out many Baby Pokémon (assuming a successful coin flip) with its inexpensive ''Smash Punch'' attack.
* '''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Pichu|12}}''' - As many decks, including SMF variants themselves, relied on Pokémon Powers, Pichu's ''Zzzap'' attack was a powerful counter. ''Zzzap'' did 20 damage to each Pokémon in play with a Pokémon Power. Although it would damage the player's own Muk, Furret, and Suicune when used, it could also do significant damage to the opponents' Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG|Aquapolis|Warp Energy|147}}''' - Because {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Double Gust|100}} was included in almost every archetype at the time of SMF's dominance, a player would often find themselves with an unfavorable Pokémon in their active position. Furret's ''Scavenger Hunt'' Poké-Power could retrieve Warp Energy from the deck in such a situation, making Warp Energy effectively the same as a searchable {{TCG ID|Expedition|Switch|157}}.
* '''{{TCG|Neo Genesis|Recycle Energy|105}}''' - Some versions of SMF included Recycle Energy simply as a precaution against decks playing {{TCG|Energy Removal 2}}, or as a way to ensure that the deck never missed an Energy attachment after a Knock Out.
* '''{{TCG ID|Aquapolis|Darkness Energy|142}}''' - At the time, Darkness Energy's effect of adding 10 damage to attacks applied to all {{TCG|type}}s of Pokémon as opposed to only {{ct|Dark}}s. Thus, it consistently allowed Scizor to do more damage with its attacks.

It was popular due to its potential to quickly search for Trainer and Energy cards and inflict massive damage on the opponent. It was also printed as a World Championships Deck.

==History==
The Flyvees deck archetype, like most other deck archetypes, was invented after the release of the [[Diamond & Pearl (TCG)|Diamond & Pearl expansion set]]. As a new generation of cards had just been released, new archetypes were being made to replace the old. The Flyvees deck archetype had first gained its significance when [[Jun Hasebe]], a seven year old boy, won the {{TCG|2007 World Championships}} using the deck archetype. After that, it became more widely used in tournaments and competitions. Jun Hasebe's deck became famous enough that Nintendo created a replica deck in its World Championship series.

==Cards==
===Key Cards===
*{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Flygon ex δ|92}} is the main attacker with a powerful ''Psychic Pulse'' attack which also affects the player's bench Pokémon.
*{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Flygon δ|7}} allows quick energy attachments to Delta Species Pokémon, allowing Flygon ex δ to power up in two turns instead of three turn, and also has a powerful Swift attack that inflicts 60 damage.
*{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Eevee δ|68}} is used mainly to bring out Vaporeon ex and Jolteon ex to play.
*{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Jolteon ex|109}} can put a damage counter on each of his opponent’s Pokémon when it is put into play. It also served as a counter to Lightning-weak Empoleon decks that were very popular at the World Championships.
*{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Vaporeon ex|110}} not only acted as a counter to popular decks based around Infernape, but had a Poké-Power that made opponents shuffle their hand into their deck and draw only four cards. Players often invested a lot of their deck’s resources to drawing huge hands, so forcing an opponent to lose a large amount of cards was potentially devastating.

===Other Pokémon===
*{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon's Voltorb|71}} is only used because it can be attached as an Energy or placed on the field as a relatively useless Pokémon. It has several uses, although none of them are especially great.
*{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}} is much like Holon's Voltorb, as it can be used as an Energy, except it has the ability to draw multiple cards when in play.
*{{TCG ID|Diamond & Pearl|Budew|43}} is used to add a Trainer card from the deck to the hand for free. It is fairly weak and is only meant to last for one or two turns.
*{{TCG ID|EX Power Keepers|Absol ex|92}} helps move damage from one of his opponent’s Pokémon to another, allowing him to get a key Knock Out when he needed it. It also recovers Pokémon by removing 3 damage counters from them.
*{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Fearow δ|18}} allows to search the deck for one Delta Species Pokémon each turn, giving an amazingly fast set up.

===Other Trainers/Supporters===
*{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Holon Mentor|75}} searches out any three [[Basic Pokémon]] from the deck.
*{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon Adventurer|85}} is a good drawing card, allowing a player to benefit from discarding a Pokémon they don't need.
*{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Researcher|95}} is an alternative to {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Celio's Network|73}} that is searchable by {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Transceiver|98}}.
*{{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Farmer|91}} is a last resort to save a player from running out of cards in their deck, which is quite possible due to how quickly the deck burns through cards.
*{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Warp Point|84}} switches out a damaged Pokémon to put another one with full HP into play. Another use is if a player's Active Pokémon is close to being knocked-out and they want to switch the opponent's Active Pokémon to one less capable of dealing heavy damage.
*{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Windstorm|85}} gets rid of pesky {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}} stopping trainers and stadiums, such as {{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Cessation Crystal|74}} and {{TCG ID|EX Legend Maker|Cursed Stone|72}}. If {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Powers}} are stopped, the whole deck screeches to a halt.
*{{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|Copycat|73}} allows for extra drawing and hand-refreshing, which are always good things.
*{{TCG ID|EX Legend Maker|Power Tree|76}} is Stadium that allows the player to search for a Basic Energy in their discard pile if they have no Special Energy in the discard pile. Since the deck doesn't use many, if any, Special Energy cards, it is easy to use its effect.

===Energy cards===
*{{TCG|Psychic Energy}} pays for ''Psychic Pulse''. Flygon ex δ cannot be played without them.
*{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Lightning Energy|108}} are absolutely necessary, regardless. The deck cannot be played without them.

'''Flyvees''' is also the name of the deck used by [[Jun Hasebe]], Junior Division Champion in the {{TCG|2007 World Championships}}. It is one of the four {{TCGMerch|Diamond & Pearl|Series|2007 World Championships Decks}}, released on November 19, 2007. Each deck comes packaged with a 2007 World Championships Booklet. Each card features a silver border, Hasebe's signature, and limited edition 2007 World Championships back. None of the cards are tournament legal.

===Description===
''Jun Hasebe played a top-tier deck in a masterful fashion to win the Junior Division and became a World Champion. The main powerhouse for this deck is Flygon ex—with its strong abilities and no Weakness, it makes for a great Pokémon. Using other Pokémon-ex such as Jolteon ex, Vaporeon ex, and Absol ex, Jun had a lot of able responses!''

Blacephalon archetype (TCG)

|caption={{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Blacephalon|32}} and {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Blacephalon-GX|52}}

|types={{e|Fire}}
|era=2019–2021
}}

'''Blacephalon''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} played in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 season, also known as '''Baby Blacephalon''' due to another {{TCG|Blacephalon/Naganadel|deck}} focusing in a Blacephalon with a [[rule box]]. The deck's strategy revolved around using attacks that needed to consume {{e|Fire}} Energy cards to deal big knocouts and retrieving back the necessary resources to attack in the following turns. Blacephalon players took 3rd place at [[Players Cup]] II, as well other relevant spots at Regional events.

==Strategy==
The deck focused on playing {{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Blacephalon|32}}'s ''Fireball Circus'' {{TCG|Attack}} to discard {{e|Fire}} Energy cards from the player's hand and deal 50 damage tmes the number of discarded cards this way, which in the right conditions could knock out any Pokémon in one hit. The attack costs {{e|Fire}}{{e|Fire}}{{e|Fire}} to be used, but a Blacephalon could be quickly charged with {{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Welder|189}} at the expense of no longer having those Energy cards in hand to be discarded.

The deck had ways to add Energy to the hand and recycle resources from the discard pile since it needed to discard many Energy cards to knock out {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}}, and Blacephalon would usually be knocked out after attacking. Other attackers could be played since the deck played Welder, but with most options awarding more prize cards than Blacephalon they were reserved for key moments during the match, such as when the player did not have enough Energy cards to properly use ''Fireball Circus''.
{{-}}

==Key cards==
[[File:WelderUnbrokenBonds189.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Welder|189}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Blacephalon|32}}''' - ''Blazer'' could be an often useful attack but required luck to reveal a prize card as a {{e|Fire}} Energy. The main attack was ''Fireball Circus'', which for 3 Energy allowed the player to discard {{e|Fire}} Energy cards from their hand and deal 50 damage times the number of discarded cards to the defending Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Blacephalon-GX|52}}''' - Secondary attacker that could, once per game, use ''Burst-GX'' to discard a player's prize card and attach it to one of their Pokémon if it was a {{e|Fire}} Energy card. ''Mind Blown'' was preferred for the lategame, since it would send Energy cards in play to the {{TCG|Lost Zone}} where it could not be retrieved. After its rotation, alternates like {{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Reshiram & Charizard-GX|20}} were used as secondary attackers.
* '''{{TCG ID|Dragon Majesty|Victini ♢|7}}''' - While legal in the format, it was a backup attacker that could, for 2 Energy, shuffle all Energy cards from the discard pile back to the player's deck and deal damage for each shuffled Energy.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Welder|189}}''' - Attached up to 2 {{e|Fire}} Energy cards from the players' hand to a Pokémon in play and then drew 3 cards. Useful to power up all attackers from the deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Fire Crystal|173}}''' - Retrieved 3 {{e|Fire}} Energy cards from the discard pile to the hand. Decks could use {{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Retrieval|81}} along with it for extended support.
* '''{{TCG ID|Dragon Majesty|Fiery Flint|60}}''' - While legal in the format, it searched the deck for 4 {{e|Fire}} Energy cards at the cost of discarding 2 other cards from the deck.

''The following cards are often used in Blacephalon in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Team Up|Jirachi|99}}''' - Since Blacephalon would be constantly knocked out, Jirachi's ''Stellar Wish'' {{TCG|Ability}} could be used to try drawing Trainer cards from the deck almost every turn. This required switching cards in the deck to remove asleep Jirachi from the active spot.
* '''{{TCG ID|Cosmic Eclipse|Oricorio-GX|95}}''' - Its Ability allowed the to player draw cards whenever a Pokémon was knocked out, reducing the need of Supporters other than Welder.
* '''{{TCG ID|Team Up|Pidgeotto|123}}''' - Played to draw cards with its Ability.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unbroken Bonds|Energy Spinner|170}}''' - Searched the deck for Energy cards.
* '''{{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Wishful Baton|128}}''' - While legal in the format, it allowed the Pokémon it was attached to move its basic Energy cards to a Benched Pokémon when knocked out.
* '''{{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Beast Energy ♢|117}}''' - Boosted the attacks of {{TCG|Ultra Beast}}s by 30, but as a {{TCG|Special Energy card}} could not interact with Welder and other Trainer cards the deck used.
* '''{{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Giant Hearth|197}}''' - Stadium that supported getting {{e|Fire}} Energy cards from the deck. Some decks would use {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Ultra Space|115}} and {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Heat Factory ♢|178}} along or in the place of this card.

Haymaker (TCG)

}}
----
The '''Haymaker''' {{TCG|deck archetype}} was a strong competitor in the early days of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. It was played heavily due to its fast, hard hitting nature that included control elements.

==Strategy==
[[File:ScytherJungle10.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}]]
As one of the earliest deck archetypes, Haymaker took advantage of useful {{TCG|Trainer card}}s and [[Basic Pokémon]] from {{TCG|Base Set}} and {{TCG|Jungle}} to set up quickly and strike hard quickly. The classic trio of Pokémon in Haymaker decks include {{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}}, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}, and {{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}. All are Basic Pokémon with 70HP, allowing them to be played straight from the hand and soak up damage early in the game. All have good damage to Energy cost ratios, with Hitmonchan able to deal 20 damage for {{e|Fighting}}, and Electabuzz able to deal 10 damage and potentially inflict {{TCG|Paralyzed|Paralysis}} for {{e|Lightning}}.

Trainer cards also factored heavily in Haymaker decks. Cards such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}}, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}, and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Computer Search|71}} allowed cards to be drawn and quickly populate the Bench. {{TCG ID|Base Set|PlusPower|84}} gave extra power to attacks, while {{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Super Energy Removal|79}} could disrupt the opponent's strategy. {{TCG ID|Base Set|Item Finder|74}} was also useful in recycling Trainer cards.

==Key Cards==
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}''' - The ability to Paralyze with ''Thundershock'' on turn 1 allowed Electabuzz to set up for ''Thunderpunch'' on turn 2, with the possibility of dealing 40 damage. Important for hitting the Weakness of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}}''' - Hitmonchan could use its ''Jab'' attack on turn 1 for 20 damage. Its second attack, ''Special Punch'', could deal 40 damage for three Energy. Important for hitting the Weakness of many Colorless and most Lightning Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}}''' - Primarily valued for its combination of 70 HP with Fighting Resistance and a free Retreat Cost. With the addition of {{TCG ID|Base Set|Double Colorless Energy|96}}, Scyther could deal a consistent 30 damage from turn 2 with its ''Slash'' attack.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|PlusPower|84}}''' - Provides an additional 10 damage to a Pokémon's attack. {{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}} and matching Weakness, this allowed {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}} to quickly OHKO most Basic Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Energy Removal|92}}''' and '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Super Energy Removal|79}}''' - Allows the player to discard Energy from opposing Pokémon, limiting most opponent's to low Energy attacks. This was vital to Haymaker; even though 70 HP was large for a Basic Pokémon, multiple Evolved Pokémon could still OHKO this amount. Between S/ER and Gust of Wind, they never got the chance.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}}''', '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Computer Search|71}}''', '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Item Finder|74}}''', and '''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}''' - Provides for the deck's draw and search needs, allowing the player to quickly setup. The usage of Bill was hotly debated, with the side in favor of it pointing out it made the deck faster and more consistent, while the side opposed preferred space for additional options and felt it both fast and consistent enough already. Item Finder was also often important late game, recycling a useful Trainer that had already been used several times or was discarded for other card effects.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}''' - Controlling the opponent's Active could be used to stall for time, but it was mostly used to facilitate key KO's (preferably OHKO's) that would not only earn a Prize but weaken the opponent's own setup.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Scoop Up|78}}''' - This card was used to deal with damage and the effects of attacks (including what we now call Special Conditions). Though attached Energy had to be discarded, judicious use of single Energy attacks, Scyther (with its free Retreat Cost), and/or Super Energy Removal could reduce or even eliminate this drawback.

==Possible tech cards==
[[File:MewtwoWizardsPromo3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mewtwo|3}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Haymaker in place of certain cards included in the above list.''
*'''{{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mewtwo|3}}''' - A solid choice with 70HP and the ability to deal 40 damage for {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Psychic}}{{e|Colorless}}. So long as there is Energy in the discard pile, its ''Energy Absorption'' attack allows Mewtwo to set up quickly allowing players to choose up to 2 Energy cards from there.
*'''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Magmar|39}}''' - Good for stalling the opponent with its ''Smokescreen'' attack and 70HP, while its stronger attack, ''Smog'', provides the opportunity to {{TCG|Poison}} the opposing Pokémon.
*'''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Energy Search|59}}''' - This card would further thin the deck while snagging the exact basic Energy card needed. Some preferred to use the space for {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rainbow Energy|17}} or additional copies of the desired basic Energy.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Lass|75}}''' - In a deck where any Trainer cards will be used up relatively quickly, Lass can be used to disrupt the opponent's strategy with little to no impact on the players'.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Switch|95}}''' - This card was sometimes used as an alternative to running more copies of Scoop Up or Double Colorless Energy. Used well, it could help conserve Energy.
*'''{{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Nightly Garbage Run|77}}''' - Can be used to shuffle Energy and Pokémon from the discard pile to the player's deck which is useful when playing against decks such as Chansey/Alakazam stall. This card can put back the energies and Pokémon discarded by Item Finder and Computer Search.
*'''{{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|28}}''' - Muk is used for its ability Toxic Gas which is used for blocking useful abilities, such as Rain Dance on {{TCG ID|Base Set|Blastoise|2}}.

==Restriction==
The Haymaker deck, being comprised mostly of cards made in the first few sets of the TCG, was one of the first to be essentially, but not explicitly, banned from play as the cards were taken out of [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]]. Due to its loss, however, the TCG was allowed to grow, and new strategies were eventually able to take root.

{{TCG ID|Base Set|Hitmonchan|7}}, {{TCG ID|Base Set|Electabuzz|20}}, and {{TCG ID|Jungle|Scyther|10}} were all reprinted as {{TCG|Retro card}}s in the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, allowing them to be played in the {{TCG|Modified format}} during the latter part of the 2008-2009 season, and throughout the 2009-2010 season.

'''Buzzwole/Garbodor''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} mainly played in the 2018-2019 season. The deck's strategy revolved around {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Buzzwole|77}} and {{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Garbodor|51}}'s potential damage output in the middle to end of the game, knocking out popular {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} in a single attack while being single-{{TCG|Prize card}} attackers. Buzzwole/Garbodor was a strong archetype upon release; along with its variants, its players were awarded seven out of eight Top 8 spots at the 2018 Santa Catarina Regionals, along with other notable rankings during the {{TCG|Celestial Storm}} meta.

==Strategy==
[[File:ShrinePunishmentCelestialStorm143.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Shrine of Punishment|143}}]]
Buzzwole/Garbodor focused on punishing players that could not manage their deck resources against the main attackers' gimmicks; for one energy card, Buzzwole dealt 30 damage plus 90 damage when the opponent had exactly four prize cards remaining and Garbodor dealt 20 damage times the amount of {{TCG|Item card}}s on the opponent's discard pile. Another useful single-energy attacker was {{TCG ID|Ultra Prism|Weavile|74}}, which dealt damage based on how many Pokémon with Abilites the opponent had in play. Buzzwole's 120 damage condition was almost inevitable due to the deck only playing single-Prize attackers, and in a Trainer and Ability-heavy format, it was easy to land one-hit knockouts with Garbodor and Weavile, though the opponent could avoid to play these cards in exchange of a slower game.

To force the opponent out of slow-paced strategies however, this deck had one advantage with the powerful {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Shrine of Punishment|143}} Stadium card, placing one damage counter on each Pokémon-GX (which most meta decks were based on) between turns. The amount of damage from this stadium with Buzzwole's minimum damage was enough to pressure the opponent in the early game and lead to situations where Garbodor could inevitably knock out opposing Pokémon.

Other useful cards in the deck were the {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Oranguru|113}}/{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Magcargo|24}} engine to draw any specific card from the deck. {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Diancie ♢|74}} and {{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Beast Energy ♢|117}} were played to increase Buzzwole's damage and enforce the early pressure.
{{-}}

==Key cards==
[[File:MagcargoCelestialStorm24.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Magcargo|24}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Buzzwole|77}}''' - For a single energy, Buzzwole's ''Sledgehammer'' {{TCG|Attack}} dealt 30 damage plus 90 damage if the opponent had exactly four prize cards left. ''Swing Around'' could also do from 80 to 120 damage with three Energy. As a {{e|Fighting}} Pokémon, it had a natural advantage against {{TCG ID|Shining Legends|Zoroark-GX|53}} decks.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Garbodor|51}}''' - Garbodor's ''Trashalanche'' attack did 20 damage times each Item card in the opponent's discard pile. It was a very useful late-game attacker as the opponent would have played many Items by then. Garbodor could also very rarely attack with ''Acid Spray'' for 70 damage and, as Trubbish, use ''Stomp Off'' to try discarding Item cards from the opponent's deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Oranguru|113}}''' - Once per turn, Oranguru allowed the player to draw cards until having three of them in the hand. As the deck focused in not playing Pokémon-GX, Oranguru was a better drawing support than {{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Tapu Lele-GX|60}}.
* '''{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Magcargo|24}}''' - Magcargo put any card from your deck on top of it, being a useful resource at drawing cards with Oranguru or stacking resources for the next turn.
* '''{{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Diancie ♢|74}}''' - Diancie increased Buzzwole's damage by 20. As a {{TCG|Prism Star}} card, the player was limited to one per deck.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Choice Band|121}}''' - Increased the damage of attacks against active Pokémon-GX by 30.
* '''{{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Shrine of Punishment|143}}''' - Put one damage counter on each Pokémon-GX in play per turn, making it easier to knock them out with the deck's attackers and forcing the opponent to not play slowly.
* '''{{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Guzma|115}}''' - While being a supporting card for deck aggression, Guzma also allowed the player to switch out non-attackers with high retreat costs. Similar cards with this purpose were [[Tate & Liza (Celestial Storm 148)|Tate & Lisa]] and [[Switch (Celestial Storm 147)|Switch]].
* '''{{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Beast Energy ♢|117}}''' - Increased Buzzwole's damage by 30. As a Prism Star card, the player was limited to one per deck.

''The following cards are often used in Buzzwole/Garbodor in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Ultra Prism|Weavile|74}}''' - Weavile's ''Evil Admonition'' attack did 50 damage times the number of opposing Pokémon with Abilites. Though some variants added Weavile as another attacker or even cut Garbodor in favor of it, Weavile offered a disadvantage in mirror matchups.
* '''{{TCG ID|Guardians Rising|Sudowoodo|66}}''' - Limited the number of Pokémon the opponent could put in play and prevented Zoroark-GX from knocking out most Pokémon in one attack.
* '''{{TCG ID|Forbidden Light|Beast Ring|102}}''' - Beast Ring attached two Basic Energy from the deck to Buzzwole, but could only be activated when the opponent had three or four prize cards remaining.

==Reasons for the loss of playability==
This deck lost much of its relevancy after the introduction of other non-GX decks, such as {{TCG|Granbull archetype|Granbull}}, {{TCG|Malamar Box|Malamar/Giratina}} and {{TCG|Zapdos/Jirachi}}. Later, {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} Pokémon got introduced with increased HP and were sturdier against this deck's attackers.

Machamp archetype (TCG)

|era=2008-2011
}}
The '''Machamp archetype''' was a popular {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. After the release of the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, {{TCG|Stormfront}} {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}} gained recognition as a viable counter to the {{TCG|Pokémon SP|SP decks}} that began to dominate [[Play! Pokémon|Pokémon Organized Play]] tournaments. Although Machamp faces weak matchups against decks such as {{TCG|Gyarados archetype|Gyarados}}, {{TCG|VileGar}}, and {{TCG|Charizard archetype|Charizard}}, the deck's ability to donk and easily beat most SP decks has made it a consistent staple of the metagame. With the release of [[Machamp (Triumphant 95)|Machamp Prime]] in {{TCG|Triumphant}}, Machamp decks gained a strong, bulky attacker against non-SP decks.

==Strategy==
[[File:PokéDrawerStormfront89.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Poké Drawer +]]
This deck's strategy is based on the opposing deck. If facing a deck based around [[Pokémon SP]], it is critical to get {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}} out as soon as possible using {{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}, {{TCG|Rare Candy}}, and the deck's various drawing and searching effects, such as {{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}. From that point forward, the player attempts to use Machamp's ''Take Out'' attack constantly in order to knock out the opponent's Basic Pokémon. Because SP decks use few evolved Pokémon, they generally provide easy matchups for Machamp as long as the player can expend resources sparingly and retrieve knocked out Machamp easily.

If the opponent is not playing an SP deck, [[Machamp (Triumphant 95)|Machamp Prime]] is the main attacker. However, if the opponent has only one Basic Pokémon on the field early in the game, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}} is capable of donking the opponent, or knocking out their only Pokémon turn one or two. If not, the player uses essentially the same above-said strategy to get a Machamp Prime on the field quickly and begin attacking with ''Crushing Punch'' and ''Champ Buster''. Because {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}} can often take easy prizes early in the game with ''Take Out'' while the opponent is only partially set up, winning with Machamp Prime is a very attainable goal despite its inability to Knock Out most Stage 2 Pokémon of its era in one attack. Since both Machamp and Machamp Prime have considerable HP, they can withstand attacks from many Pokémon, and the deck has the ability to take knock outs while the opponent cannot respond with a Knock Out on Machamp.

===Key cards===
[[File:UnownRLegendsAwakened77.jpg|thumb|200px|right|{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Unown R|77}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp|20}}''' - Machamp's ability to knock out any Unevolved Pokémon for only {{e|Fighting}} with its ''Take Out'' attack makes it the deck's most important component. It can often take easy prizes early in the game before the opponent sets up, and it is the main attacker against {{TCG|Pokémon SP|SP decks}}. Before the release of [[Machamp (Triumphant 95)|Machamp Prime]], the {{TCG|Stormfront}} Machamp was the deck's only attacker. In addition to ''Take Out'', Machamp possesses the ''Hurricane Punch'' and ''Rage'' attacks. ''Hurricane Punch'' can do considerable damage, based on coin flips, for {{e}}{{e}}, while ''Rage''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s damage is based on how much damage Machamp has taken. ''Rage'' costs {{e|Fighting}}{{e|Fighting}}{{e}}{{e}}.
* '''[[Machamp (Triumphant 95)|Machamp Prime]]''' - Machamp Prime provides an alternative attacker against non-SP decks. Its ''Crushing Punch'' and ''Champ Buster'' attacks are capable of significant damage, making it a threat against opposing Pokémon with mid-range HP. Unfortunately, Machamp Prime's attacks cost {{e|Fighting}}{{e}}{{e}} and {{e|Fighting}}{{e|Fighting}}{{e}}{{e}} respectively, making it difficult to charge. This problem is rectified by Machamp Prime's ''Fighting Tag'' {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Body}}. ''Fighting Tag'' states that if Machamp Prime is on a player's bench, they may switch Machamp Prime with the Active Pokémon and move all Energy attached to that Pokémon to Machamp Prime. Through the combination of ''Fighting Tag'' and {{TCG|Seeker}}, it is possible to keep up a steady stream of fully charged, fully healed Machamp Primes.
* '''{{TCG|Rare Candy}}''' - Lets the user evolve Machop into Machamp in a single turn which is vital to its set up.
* '''{{TCG|Poké Drawer +}}''' - This card lets the player search for any two cards from their deck if they play two down at the same time. Players can search for what they need at the time such as energy for attacking, Seekers to pick up Machamp or Uxie, Rare Candies or Broken Time-Space to evolve into Machamp, and Pokémon Collector, Bebe's Search, and Pokémon Communication for searching out Pokémon such as Uxie, Unown R, Machop, Machoke, and Machamp when the player needs them.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - This Pokémon is the main draw power in the deck. It can be searched out by using Bebe's Search, Pokémon Communication, Poké Drawer + (assuming the player has two of them in hand), Luxury Ball, and Pokémon Collector which are all in the deck archetype. Uxie's Poké-Power lets the user draw cards until they have 7 in their hand when they put it down from their hand. Uxie can net the player the resources they need or the cards they need. It can also be picked up by Seeker (assuming that it is on the bench) so the player can use its Poké-Power again.
* '''{{TCG|Bebe's Search}}''', '''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}''', '''{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokémon Communication|98}}''' - These cards let the player search for any Pokémon from their deck. Luxury Ball is only a one time use. For Bebe's Search and Pokémon Communication to be used, the player needs to put a card on top of their deck for Bebe's Search and a Pokémon for Pokémon Communication.
* '''{{TCG|Pokémon Collector}}''' - This lets the player search for up to three [[Basic Pokémon]] from their deck. They can use this to search for some Uxie, Machop, or Unown R.
* '''{{TCG|Broken Time-Space}}''' - A bit like Rare Candy, Broken Time-Space lets the player (and their opponent) be able to evolve Pokémon the turn they put it in play. However, unlike Rare Candy, the user needs all the Evolutions of the Pokémon they are to evolve using this stadium.
* '''{{TCG|Palmer's Contribution}}''' - Lets the player search for the Machamp line, or other Pokémon and Basic Energy from their discard pile and put it in their deck. This is usually used for recovery.
* '''{{TCG|Seeker}}''' - Lets the player pick up a damaged Machamp or a Uxie in order to heal damage off of the Machamp or to use Uxie's Poké-Power again. This card is usually used with the Machamp Prime ''Fighting Tag'' switch out and heal tactic.

==Possible techs==
[[File:SmeargleUndaunted8.jpg|thumb|200px|left|{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}}]]
*'''{{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Donphan|107}}''' - Donphan is a card that does 60 damage for {{e|Fighting}} and 90 damage for {{e|Fighting}}{{e|Fighting}}{{e|Fighting}}. Paired with Machamp, it has a potential to donk the opponent as well as do lots of damage to the opponent.
*'''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}''' - This can help with evolving Machop into Machamp in two turns. Spiritomb's attack, ''Darkness Grace'', lets the player search their deck for a card that evolves from one of their Pokémon and put it onto the Pokémon. Then, 1 damage counter will be put on Spiritomb. While the attack can be helpful, the {{TCG|Poké-Body}} ''Keystone Seal'' locks each player's Trainer cards, which can slow the opponent down. However, the player has the potential to slow themselves down too because of the high amount of Trainer cards in the deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|Undaunted|Smeargle|8}}''' - Players usually want one Smeargle to begin with if they want to tech this in. Smeargle's Poké-Power, ''Portrait'', lets the player look at the opponent's hand. Then, as the effect of the Poké-Power, the player will use the effect of one of the opponent's Supporter cards. This lets them use a helpful Supporter card such as {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Pokémon Collector|97}} or {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Bebe's Search|109}} (presuming it is in their opponent's hand).
*'''{{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}}''' - Its Poké-Power lets the player attach it to one of their Pokémon, causing the Pokémon's [[retreat cost]] to be {{e|Colorless}} less. This will let Uxie have free retreat if the player would have to send it active or it is pulled up active. It will also give Smeargle free retreat too, if it is in the deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|Unleashed|Judge|78}}''' - This is used for disruption. It is used to shuffle away a hand with many cards, to shuffle important cards away from the opponent, and to end a {{TCG ID|Platinum|Cyrus's Conspiracy|105}} chain.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Super Scoop Up|98}}''' - Super Scoop Up is an alternative for Seeker. However, while Super Scoop Up can pick up any Pokémon the player has in play instead of just benched Pokémon, the user needs to flip heads in order for it to work.
*'''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Machamp LV.X|98}}''' - This LV.X can help Machamp hit harder because of its Poké-Body ''No Guard''. If Machamp LV.X is the Active Pokémon, its attacks and the opponent's attacks do 60 more damage.
*'''{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}''' - Premier Ball assists in searching for Machamp LV.X.
*'''{{TCG ID|Arceus|Expert Belt|87}}''' - Expert Belt makes Machamp have 20 more HP and do 20 more damage to the opponent. Therefore, it is used for making Machamp survive a bit longer and hit even harder.

Vespiquen Box (TCG)

|era=2015–2018
}}

'''Vespiquen Box''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} mainly played in the 2015-2016 season, remaining as a contender up to the 2018-2019 season. The deck's strategy revolved around {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Vespiquen|10}}'s ''Bee Revenge'' {{TCG|Attack}}, which scales damage for each Pokémon in the player's discard pile. Even if its setup and damage were not as strong as {{TCG|Night March}}, an archetype with a similar gimmick, people played it because of the versatility of supporting Pokémon Vespiquen could fit and the slightly higher {{TCG|Hit Points}} compared to Night March's attackers, resisting a few attacks and {{TCG|Ability|Abilities}} Night March otherwise could not. Vespiquen Box's best results were 4th place in the Masters Division and 1st and 4th place in the Senior Division at the [[2016 World Championships|2016 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]], also scoring well in other events such as 1st place in the Master Division at the 2016 UK Nationals. Senior Division Champion of the Masters Division Jesper Eriksen's version was printed as a promotional World Championships deck, {{TCG|Bebe Deck}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:VileplumeAncientOrigins3.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Vileplume|3}}]]
Vespiquen Box focused on discarding as many Pokémon as possible to maximize the damage output from Vespiquen, using {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Battle Compressor|92}} or other cards to do so. As a non-{{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}, it was often fine to deal two-hit knockouts against Pokémon-EX as long the player did not miss following Attacks. Being the only competitive {{e|Grass}} archetype at the time, it was favored against Pokémon with this weakness such as {{TCG|Wailord Stall}} Pokémon. Vespiquen lists have always used {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} to be able to use its attack for a single energy.

At release, Vespiquen Box lists were focused in either being a mix of Vespiquen and Night March Pokémon or the more iconic combination of {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Forest of Giant Plants|74}} and {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Vileplume|3}}, attempting to play Vespiquen and Vileplume in the player's first turn and locking the opponent out of Item cards due to Vileplume's {{TCG|Ability}}; The player was affected by the Ability as well, so the list focused in playing as many possible of them before setting up Vileplume. Other relevant variants tagged Vespiquen with {{TCG ID|XY|Yveltal|78}}, {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Crobat|33}} or Pokémon that could also benefit from DCE or Forest of Giant Plants. During the XY BREAK era, the Vileplume variant faded out by such more consistent lists.

In the {{TCG|Expanded format}}, while Forest of Giant Plants got eventually banned from play, Vespiquen benefited from many supporting cards available in the pool. Night March still had more positive results on average than Vespiquen in this format, but due to their small differences, this deck guaranteed a special spot in some tournaments.
{{-}}
==Key cards==
[[File:BattleCompressorPhantomForces92.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Battle Compressor|92}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Vespiquen|10}}''' - Vespiquen's ''Bee Revenge'' Attack dealt 20 plus 10 damage times the number of Pokémon in the player's discard pile. While less powerful than the Night March Attack at a glance, it did not rely on specific Pokémon and could surpass NM's damage output, though that required a large number of discarded Pokémon. ''Intelligence Gathering'' could be also used at rare occasions to draw cards while doing minimal damage.
* '''{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Unown|30}}''' - If on the Bench, Unown's ''Farewell Letter'' Ability discarded itself while making the player draw a card, being a versatile fit in many lists.
* '''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Battle Compressor|92}}''' - Each Battle Compressor could discard up to 3 Pokémon or useful cards to be retrieved with other Trainer cards.
*'''{{TCG ID|XY|Professor Sycamore|122}}''' - Along with {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}}, Professor Sycamore was an easy option to discard Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}''' - Usually the only type of energy played in Vespiquen lists, as it provided the {{e}}{{e}} necessary for ''Bee Revenge''.

==Possible tech cards==
[[File:YanmegaXYPromo144.jpg|thumb|200px|{{TCG ID|Steam Siege|Yanmega|7}}]]
''The following cards are often used in Vespiquen Box in place of certain cards included in the above lists.''
* '''{{TCG ID|Steam Siege|Klefki|80}}''' - Klefki could be attached as a Tool card, preferably to Unown, being discarded at the end of the opponent's turn and synergizing with the deck's goal.
* '''{{TCG|Night March}} Pokémon''' - Played along some Vespiquen lists due to the synergy with discarding Pokémon and Double Colorless Energy.
* '''{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Forest of Giant Plants|74}}''' - This Stadium card allowed the player to evolve {{e|Grass}} Pokémon regardless of turn they were played.
** '''{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Vileplume|3}}''' - Its ''Irritating Pollen'' Ability prevented both players from using Item cards. Could be played in the first turn due to Forest of Giant Plants to limit the opponent's gameplay.
** '''{{TCG ID|Steam Siege|Yanmega|7}}''' - Played by Semifinalist Jesper Eriksen at the 2016 World Championship along with {{TCG ID|Steam Siege|Yanmega BREAK|8}} as a Pokémon that could also land two hit knockouts and often attack without needing Energy thanks to its ''Sonic Vision'' Ability.
* '''{{TCG ID|XY|Yveltal|78}}''' - Strong counter to Night March and {{TCG|Trevenant BREAK}} decks, though it required the player to include {{e|Darkness}} Energy in their list.
* '''{{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Flareon|12}}''' - {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} Flareon had the same Attack as ''Bee Revenge'' and a different typing to cover more weaknesses in the Expanded format.
* '''{{TCG ID|BREAKthrough|Zoroark|91}}''' - Secondary attacker that could provide another type coverage while attacking with Double Colorless Energy. {{TCG ID|XY|Raichu|43}} and {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Zebstrika|49}} were other techs with similar purposes.
* '''{{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Flareon|13}} and {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Vaporeon|22}}''' - Added {{e|Fire}} and {{e|Water}} typings respectively to Stage 1 Pokémon due to their Abilities.
* '''{{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Golbat|32}} and {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Crobat|33}}''' - Their Abilities put additional damage counters in the opponent's field for easier knockouts.
* '''{{TCG ID|Generations|Revitalizer|70}}''' - Retrieved two discarded {{e|Grass}} Pokémon to the player's hand.

'''DialgaChomp''' was a competitive {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Developed after the release of the {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} expansion, the deck's name came from a combination of {{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}, the deck's two main attackers. The deck placed well at numerous tournaments, and, although {{TCG|LuxChomp}} was a far more common archetype for tournament competitors, DialgaChomp was the deck of choice for some of the game's best players. It was recognized for allowing the player an incredible number of options, as well as having only a handful of poor match-ups.

==Strategy==
[[File:DialgaGPlatinum7.png|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G|7}}]]
DialgaChomp had no designated starting Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G|7}} was often considered the ''best'' Pokémon to open the game with, but {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Unown Q|49}} or {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}} could be used to negate almost any undesirable start. Early in the game, the DialgaChomp player would often stall the opponent with Dialga G's ''Deafen'' attack, which, for {{e|Metal}}{{e}}, did 10 damage and prevented the opponent from playing {{TCG|Trainer card}}s. While repeatedly ''Deafen''ing, the deck attempted to get out Benched {{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G|7}} and {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C|60}} with sufficient Energy attached, at the same time stockpiling {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}s and {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}}s in the hand through the use of {{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}.

Once the DialgaChomp player had sufficient resources to begin attacking with either {{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}} or {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}, he or she would often break the ''Deafen'' lock in favor of taking prizes. At that point, the opponent often had few cards to work with due to the brutal earlygame combination of ''Deafen'' and Power Spray, so DialgaChomp could frequently take all six prizes with little resistance. Garchomp C LV.X's ''Dragon Rush'' attack did 80 damage to one of the opponent's Pokémon for {{e}}{{e}}{{e}}, but forced the user to discard two of those energy. ''Dragon Rush'''s energy requirement was often satisfied by one {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}} and one {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain}}, allowing the DialgaChomp player to charge it in one turn.

==Key Cards==
[[File:CyrusConspiracyPlatinum105.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}]]
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G LV.X|122}}''' - Dialga G LV.X had the potential to be a powerful, bulky attacker, hitting for 80 damage with ''Remove Lost'' for {{e|Metal}}{{e|Metal}}{{e}}{{e}}. Its ability to utilize {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}, {{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}}, and the effects of [[Metal Energy (Special)|Special Metal Energy]] made it the perfect counterpart to {{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}; while the latter was fast and sniped the Bench, Dialga G LV.X was a heavy-hitter against the opponent's active. However, Dialga G LV.X's greatest contribution to the deck was its Poké-Body, ''Time Crystal'', which prevented other Poké-Bodies from taking effect. When many decks ran {{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Mewtwo LV.X|144}} as a counter to SP decks, Dialga G LV.X shut off Mewtwo LV.X's ''Psybarrier'' Poké-Body, making it vulnerable to attacks from Basic Pokémon. ''Time Crystal'' was also useful against {{TCG ID|Undaunted|Vileplume|24}}, {{TCG ID|Arceus|Spiritomb|32}}, and a variety of other powerful Pokémon that used Poké-Bodies.
* '''{{TCG ID|Platinum|Dialga G|7}}''' - Dialga G served arguably as important a role as its LV.X. It had the potential to lock down the opponent early in the game through ''Deafen'' which, for {{e|Metal}}{{e}}, prevented the opponent from playing {{TCG|Trainer card}}s and did 10 damage. The DialgaChomp player could often achieve a good setup through the strategic use of ''Deafen''.
* '''{{TCG ID|Supreme Victors|Garchomp C LV.X|145}}''' - Garchomp C LV.X was the deck's fast, hard-hitting attacker. For {{e}}{{e}}{{e}}, it did 80 damage to one of the opponent's Pokémon, but required a discard of {{e}}{{e}}. In combination with Poké Turn, Energy Gain, and Double Colorless Energy, Garchomp C LV.X could take several prizes in several turns by knocking out the opponent's weak Benched support Pokémon. Its ''Healing Breath'' Poké-Power was also useful for healing a damaged Dialga G LV.X.
* '''{{TCG ID|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}''' - Uxie provided good draw support for the deck. If the DialgaChomp player found him or herself low on cards early in the game, he or she could play Uxie from the hand and use its ''Set Up'' Poké-Power.
* '''{{TCG|Cyrus's Conspiracy}}''' - Cyrus's Conspiracy was the deck's primary searching engine. It allowed the player to search for one {{TCG|Supporter card}}, one {{TCG|Trainer card}} with "Team Galactic's Invention" in its name, and one [[Energy card (TCG)#Basic Energy cards|Basic Energy]]. Since the deck was based around {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}, Cyrus's Conspiracy was arguably most useful in its ability to search for a ''Team Galactic's Invention'' Trainer card. In combination with other Supporter cards, Uxie, and the aforementioned ''Team Galactic's Invention'' Trainer cards, Cyrus's Conspiracy made up the most important part of the deck's support.
* '''{{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-105 Poké Turn|Poké Turn}}''' - Poké Turn was used to scoop up damaged attackers, bad starts, and {{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}, to use multiple ''Flash Bite''s. However, it was most important for its ability to scoop up Garchomp C LV.X and allow the use of ''Dragon Rush'' multiple turns in a row.
* '''{{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-103 Power Spray|Power Spray}}''' - In combination with Dialga G's ''Deafen'' attack, Power Spray could devastate the opponent's setup in the earlygame by denying them access to the Trainer cards and Poké-Powers they used to draw and search.
* '''{{TCG|Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain|Energy Gain}}''' - Energy Gain simply allowed for faster charging of the deck's attackers. Garchomp C LV.X's ''Dragon Rush'' could be charged in only one turn, with Energy Gain and Double Colorless Energy, as could Toxicroak G's ''Poison Revenge'', with an Energy Gain and one {{TCG|Psychic Energy}}. Dialga G's ''Deafen'' could potentially be used on the first turn.
* '''{{TCG|Double Colorless Energy}}''' - Like Energy Gain, Double Colorless Energy allowed for the deck's main attackers to be charged more quickly.

==Possible Tech Cards==
[[File:AaronCollectionRisingRivals88.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG|Aaron's Collection}}]]
* '''{{TCG|Aaron's Collection}}''' - Aaron's Collection could be used in place of, or occasionally in combination with, Palmer's Contribution to recycle knocked out Pokémon. Aaron's Collection had an advantage in that it brought the Pokémon directly back to the owner's hand instead of shuffling them into the deck, but Palmer's returned more Pokémon.
* '''{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Ambipom G|56}}''' - Ambipom G was commonly used in the deck as another way to donk the opponent, either through the attachment of one Double Colorless Energy, or through one regular energy and Team Galactic's Invention G-101 Energy Gain.
* '''{{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Chatot|55}}''' - Chatot was used for hand refreshment, as well as its ability to "Chatter Lock." Chatter Locking prevented an opponent's starting Pokémon, such as Sableye or Spiritomb, from retreating until it was either knocked out or, in some cases, the opponent decked themselves.
* '''{{TCG|Call Energy}}''' - Call Energy was used in many builds to increase the deck's consistency by giving it access to a powerful searching effect in the early game. Considering how many Basic Pokémon the deck ran, Call Energy gave the player many options.

'''Raieggs''' is a {{TCG|deck archetype}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] based around the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} cards {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Exeggutor δ|41}} and {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Raichu δ|15}}. It was widely used in [[Play! Pokémon]] due to its ability to spread damage around quickly with Exeggutor δ's ''Split Bomb'' attack and shut down other decks by dealing good damage to any Pokémon with a {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}.

==Cards==
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Exeggutor δ|41}}''' - using ''Split Bomb'', it can cause an opponent's entire bench to become heavily damaged and force them to send a damaged Pokémon into play when their Active Pokémon is knocked out. Its other attack, ''Delta Circle'', is commonly used to finish the job, dealing 10 damage plus an additional 10 for each Pokémon in play with δ on its card.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Raichu δ|15}}''' - a versatile Pokémon. Its purpose in the deck is really to make opponents think twice about sending Pokémon with {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}s onto the field, but it can also be used late in the game because its ''Metallic Thunder'' attack can hit for a massive 90 damage, at the cost of discarding two Energy.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Holon's Castform|44}}''' - the deck's perfect starter, because with its ''Delta Draw'' attack, the player will gain huge card advantage early, which is crucial to victory.
*'''{{TCG ID|EX Crystal Guardians|Cessation Crystal|74}}''' - turns off all Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies for both players. The player utilizes no Poké-Powers or Poké-Bodies; therefore, having no drawbacks on the user.
*The last key part of the deck is the '''{{TCG|Holon Engine}}''', which also allows a player to quickly burn through their deck, getting Exeggutor δ and Raichu δ onto the field quickly.

Abomazong (TCG)

'''Abomazong''' was a somewhat popular competitive deck in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The deck was a favorite among some competitive players for its ability to spread damage quickly ''and'' make a big hit if need be. Although the deck had a good showing in the relatively small [[Premier Events (TCG)#City Championships|City Championships]] series of {{TCG|Premier Events}}, it performed poorly at larger events, when played.

==History==
[[File:ClaydolGreatEncounters15.jpg|thumb|left|200px|{{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}]]
Although the exact origin of the deck is unknown, the first well-known player to effectively use the deck was [[Jimmy Ballard]] of {{wp|Illinois}}. A challenge to players to build a deck using {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}} appeared on the ''Banginboards'', Ballard's invite-only TCG discussion forum, and the best combo was thought to be with {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}.

==Strategy==
[[File:CallEnergyMajesticDawn92.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Call Energy}}]]
Abomazong has a seemingly straightforward strategy, but in reality it is a deck with many options and often overlooked strategic advantages over other archetypes in its era.

The basic, solid strategy of Abomazong centers purely around spreading damage with {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}}'s ''Snow Play'' attack and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s ''Pain Amplifier'' attack. Snow Play does 20 damage to the Defending Pokémon and 20 damage to each of the opponent's non-{{e|Grass}} or -{{e|Water}} Pokémon, all for an Energy Cost of {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}. Provided Abomazong is not facing a water- or grass-centric deck, this is a very powerful spread effect. The second key part of the assault is {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s ''Pain Amplifier'' attack. Pain Amplifier is a free attack that places one damage counter on each of the opponent's Pokémon that already has damage counters on it. For no energy cost, this is a very strong follow up to Snow Play. Another reason {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}} is used is for its ''Cursed Alloy'' {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}. Cursed Alloy states that "As long as {{tt|Bronzong|this Pokémon}} is your Active Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon that has any Poké-Powers between turns." This simply piles on damage to Pokémon already ailing from Snow Play and Pain Amplifier, and it is helpful against most decks since Poké-Powers, such as those of {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} and {{TCG|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, are very popular for support.

Although the deck's basic strategy centers around ''Snow Play'', ''Pain Amplifier'', and ''Cursed Alloy'', Abomazong is far more versatile than the average spread deck. It needs to be, since ''Snow Play'' is ineffective on {{e|Grass}}- and {{e|Water}}-type Pokémon. And spreading damage is unproductive against decks using high-HP Pokémon. Abomazong has other ways of dealing with decks like these.

When facing a deck where its typical strategy is ineffectual, the focus of Abomazong shifts toward {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}}'s ''Below Zero'' attack and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s ''Coating'' attack. ''Below Zero'' does 60 damage for {{e|Water}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}} and reads that "if {{tt|Abomasnow|this Pokémon}} evolved from Snover during this turn, the Defending Pokémon is now {{TCG|Paralyzed}}." 60 damage is decent alone, but the Paralyzation effect makes ''Below Zero'' a real threat in some situations. It can buy Abomazong one additional turn to set up, while stalling the opponent's strategy by denying them an attack. {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s Coating attack does 60 damage for {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}, and reduces damage done to {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}} during the next turn by 20. This is great for stalling and doing decent damage at the same time.

Additional supporting component's to Abomazong's strategy, such as {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}, are discussed in the "Cards" section.

==Cards==
===Key Cards===
[[File:RoseanneResearchSecretWonders125.jpg|thumb|right|200px|{{TCG|Roseanne's Research}}]]
*'''{{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}}''' - The main attacker in the deck, chiefly uses its ''Snow Play'' attack to spread damage to all the opponent's Pokémon.

==Restriction==
While Abomazong's two main attackers, {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}} and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}, were legal for [[Play!

Although Abomazong could still be used with an alternative {{TCG|engine}}, the decline in spread decks has caused Abomazong to be essentially unplayable.

Mega Audino EX (TCG)

'''Mega Audino EX''' was a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|deck archetype}} played in the very end of the 2015-2016 season with great results. The deck's strategy revolved around {{TCG ID|Fates Collide|M Audino-EX|85}} being able to damage benched Pokémon and get easy knockouts against {{TCG|Night March}} decks. This deck was notable for many players not expecting M Audino-EX to be successful due to its low setup and damage compared to {{TCG|Mega Rayquaza EX}}, another {{e|Colorless}} Mega Pokémon, and other {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} decks. Mega Audino EX deck unexpectedly ranked first place in the [[2016 World Championships|2016 Pokémon Trading Card Game World Championships]] Master Division, and Champion Shintaro Ito's version was printed as a promotional World Championships deck, {{TCG|Magical Symphony}}.

==Strategy==
The deck aimed to use M Audino-EX as the main attacker. Its ''Magical Symphony'' {{TCG|Attack}} dealt 110 damage to the Active Pokémon plus 50 to a {{TCG|Bench}}ed Pokémon when a {{TCG|Supporter card}} was played that turn, so many Supporter cards were optimal in the decklist. The bench damage could notably knock out opposing {{TCG ID|Phantom Forces|Joltik|26}}, {{TCG ID|Ancient Origins|Combee|9}} and {{TCG ID|Furious Fists|Eevee|80}} in a single attack. Metal Energy was used in the list to benefit from {{TCG ID|Steam Siege|Magearna-EX|75}}'s ''Mystic Heart'' {{TCG|Ability}}, preventing effects of attacks other than damage to M Audino-EX, and use {{TCG ID|Steam Siege|Cobalion|74}} as a secondary attacker. {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Absol|40}} was also played to move 3 damage counters between opposing Pokémon and often score extra knockouts. {{TCG ID|Fates Collide|Audino Spirit Link|92}} and {{TCG ID|Roaring Skies|Mega Turbo|86}} are other notable supporting cards.

==Reasons for the loss of playability==
Mega Audino was a successful deck due to the favorable matchup against Night March. As Night March was {{TCG|Rotation|rotated}} out of the {{TCG|Standard format}} right after Worlds, M Audino-EX struggled to deal against decks with less frail Pokémon. In the {{TCG|Expanded format}}, other Pokémon were better at dealing against Night March and {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Mr. Mime|47}} was a common card in Expanded decks to prevent benched damage.

Riptide (TCG)

2025-12-08T14:41:11Z

|era=1999-2000
}}
'''Riptide''' is a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] {{TCG|Deck archetype|deck archetype}} based around the ''Riptide'' attack of {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}.

==History==
The idea for Riptide spawned soon after the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion was released. Combined with cards that could discard Energy at will, it became apparent to players that {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}'s ''Riptide'' attack could prove deadly.

==Strategy==
The point of the deck is to charge up {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}} and discard as much Energy as possible quickly. Then, the deck can attack with ''Riptide'' for massive damage. While no Energy is discarded from {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}, the downside is that all the Energy cards in the discard pile are shuffled back into the deck. However, the rest of the deck is packed with combos to cycle Energy into the discard pile at an alarming rate. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Trash Exchange|126}} switches the discard pile with the deck. This is amazingly useful to effectively discard all the Energy in the deck, dealing enough damage with ''Riptide'' to knock out any Pokémon in the game (at the time). Many other ways exist, such as {{TCG ID|Base Set|Professor Oak|88}}, or {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Wrath|114}}. The [[baby Pokémon]] in the deck are techs against other popular archetypes at the time that this deck was legal.

==Cards==
===Key cards===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}''' is the main attacker for the deck, using ''Riptide'' to hit for 10 damage per turn, plus 10 more damage for each {{TCG|Water Energy}} in the discard pile.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Trash Exchange|126}}''' shuffles the discard pile into the deck and discards the first cards on the top of the deck. This gives Feraligatr plenty of Energy to boost Riptide's damage.

===Other Pokémon===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Elekid|22}}''' helps mount some form of offense when the player is focusing on more important things, like powering up {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Pichu|12}}''' hits any Pokémon with a {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} for 20 damage, annihilating most decks that competed with Riptide as many decks at the time relied on Pokémon Powers to succeed.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}}''' provides hand refreshment and increases the player's chances of drawing whatever card they need to get out {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}.

===Other Trainers===
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Professor Elm|96}}''' is an alternative to {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Cleffa|20}} if the player doesn't wish to waste their attack on getting different cards in their hand.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Misty's Wrath|114}}''' lets the player pick two cards in the top seven of their deck and add them to their hand, while discarding. In Riptide, the discard may actually benefit the player more than the drawing, by increasing {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}'s damage.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Gust of Wind|93}}''' can ruin the opponent's strategy by swapping out their ideal Active Pokémon with a useless one with a high [[retreat cost]].
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Focus Band|86}}''' can give any Pokémon the extra turn it needs to score that crucial Knock Out or retreat.
*'''{{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Time Capsule|90}}''' can save a player from decking out in a pinch, which seems to be the biggest problem with this deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Trader|77}}''' trades any Pokémon in the player's hand with any one from their deck, which can really speed up the deck.
*'''{{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}}''' lets the player skip an [[Evolution]], like {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Totodile|81}} to {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Feraligatr|5}}, while normally {{TCG ID|Neo Genesis|Croconaw|32}} would be in the middle.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Secret Mission|118}}''' lets players draw cards and discard Energies.
*'''{{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Narrow Gym|124}}''' can disrupt the opponent's strategy by limiting bench Pokémon amount for both players. If any player has five Benched Pokémon, then they must discard one of them and any cards (including Energy) attached to it.

==Restriction==
The {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion has been banned for play in [[Rotation (TCG)|Modified Format]], so this deck is currently unplayable for any official tournament. All of the other expansions represented in the deck have been removed as well, so any variation on the deck will most likely be unsuccessful.
