![]() ![]() 6 energy 300 damage becomes viable because of this engine- the whole format warped around this oppressive combo to the point where LOT slowking became a valid tech in a lot of decks, at least for a while. Reshiram Charizard tag team was the biggest beneficiary for sure. Combined with ridiculous support in fiery flint and fire crystal, any card with colorless energy or fire energy costs got incredibly strong. But that was just the beginning of the blaze- welder changed the game for fire types. And show up it did, with impressive finishes and victories at multiple regionals. It wasn’t until the release of Blacephalon GX that fire made a big showing. The hype surrounding Dusk Mane Necrozoma made fire types briefly sought after until the hype didn’t pan out. Some people clung to XY volcanion EX for a while, but that wasn’t successful for long. Incineroar saw no real play, and besides Turtonator GX, neither did any other fire archetypes. Early SUM was not the time to be a fire type. Didnt make a splash internationally, but in a no-welder format, it absolutely smacks.įire type. Only November will tell.īest pure grass deck: buzzmosa. Its strongest ‘mon is definitely Buzzmosa, but there’s hope the new VenusaurSnivy will be playable in international formats. Celesaur was ok but never great despite it being one of Tord’s favorite decks. ![]() However, after the release of welder, grass type successes withered up. Decidueye Gx hung on for a while as a fringe spread archetype- but only just. Later, at least in Japan, Buzzwole Pheromosa tag team GX slammed into anything that couldn’t handle losing four prizes a turn. Tapu Bulu GX also had a lot of strength in this format, but this came at the same time as Golisopod GX, which was better across the board due to its easier setup. Other key support cards from XY, like Revitalizer, made grass decks an interesting concept until the FOGP ban and eventually the rotation. Remnants of XY Vespiquen decks haunted the top tables for a brief while before rotating. XY’s Forest of giant plants made Decidueye-Gx vileplume a beast of a deck. Here’s some ideas and history, in response to your question. The most accurate way to represent the era is to allow for less rigid deck construction. Well, the best decks were often a combo of types. So what do you think? do you have any ideas of a decklist that focusses around one main energy? Any Pokemon that could be the star of a deck from the sun and moon era? These decks would idealy be offensive focussed and less so on specific hard counters. I understand that there are type weaknesses and that is fine. Ninetale's Luminous barrier is a good ability but can make another deck in the box an unwinnable matchup). That means no decks built to counter a deck specifically (ex. I want these decks to be able to play against each other. I am following u/vandergus template and have 10 Energy deck boxes wating to be filled up. but hopefully they will be a good showcase of what the Sun and Moon era had to offer. These decks may not win the world chamionship. My goal for this project is to have 10 decks that are at least mainly one energy type. As the Sun and Moon era is ending I thought I would create a time capsule to remember the cards of the era.
