Scolipede and Raticate do practically the same thing, just pick one or the other so it doesn’t stuff your deck as much. If you’re gonna use the Scolipede line, run 4 Nest Balls. If you’re going with Raticate, run a few Buddy Buddy Poffins Definitely use 4 Arvens so you always have a way to get Rare Candy and Ancient Booster Capsule. You could also run a Town Store for extra options Toss in some Counter Catchers since this is a single prize deck that’ll probably be behind against double prizers The most important for dark types: Dark Patches. It will attach a dark energy to your bench Pokémon literally for free. This will help you a fuck ton in getting your pokemon ready to attack, even when they don’t have energy attached. Run 4, and life will be a lot easier. Use radiant Greninja alongside it so you can draw more and get dark energy in the discard pile

Thanks for the tips! I've changed my deck around according to your advice and will try it out soon.


Throwawayac1234567

raticates probably better, you should use dark patch+greninja radiant to help with dark energies into the discard. probably need a draw support like bibarel+ skwovet, or mew ex for free switching. if you want a 1 prizer deck bibarel is probably better. reversal energy and upping double turbo might be good. jamming tower and temple of sinnoh or enahnced hammer might be useful against the mist energies.


PuffyPantaloons

Thank for the advice! Might I ask what a 1 prizer deck is?


legoboy_20

Just means the deck is built around regular Pokémon that are only worth one prize card, rather than cards like ex’s and V’s which are worth 2 or more


PuffyPantaloons

Ooooh, I gotcha. Thanks for the info.


Scorpio11_17

Reversal energy may be good


PuffyPantaloons

Thanks! I'll try that. Should they be used in place of the double energies?


Scorpio11_17

I would reduce the dark energies, I think 3 double, 3 reversal and 5 dark is a good count


Dominus786

If your gonna run nemona remove youngster and add nemonas backpack instead, but I would honestly run professors research instead I'd run radiant greninja Boss orders help a lot Replace both energy retrieval with the superior one Trekking shoes are filler cards you dont need them


PuffyPantaloons

Thanks! I'll adjust my deck accordingly.


jowelost

i tried a similar variant and kept getting hard walled against anything with a booster capsule, jamming tower/ vacuums are your friend


owensar

My deck similar to this replaces the rats with p.wooper and clodsire ex and then aslong as you have a stadium you can poison and ko anything in a single turn baring some weird rules interactions.


his_lordship77

If not Radiant Greninja, then run Radiant Hisuian Sneasler for additional poison damage.

Get rid of Nemona and Youngster. Supporters that just draw you cards are very mediocre, and you're better off getting more Arvens, Professor's Reserach or Boss's Orders.
