Just pulled Umbreon from a pack!

My competitive deck that's been dominating locals - Full list and strategy!

I've been tweaking this deck for months, and it's finally performing consistently. Here's the complete breakdown.

Deck Strategy

Deck List (60 cards):

Pokemon (18):

  • 4x Basic attacker

  • 3x Evolution line

  • 3x Support Pokemon

  • 2x Tech options

  • 2x Draw support Pokemon

  • 4x Basic energy acceleration


Trainers (32):
  • 4x Professor's Research

  • 4x Boss's Orders

  • 4x Ultra Ball

  • 3x Switch

  • 3x Nest Ball

  • 4x Battle VIP Pass

  • 2x Pal Pad

  • 2x Air Balloon

  • 3x Stadium Card

  • 3x Tool Card


Energy (10):
  • 7x Basic Energy

  • 3x Special Energy


Deck Core

Strategy:
The goal is to set up quickly using Battle VIP Pass turn 1, then start applying pressure turn 2. The deck can take multiple paths to victory depending on the matchup.

Matchup Tips:

  • Against control: Prioritize aggression

  • Against aggro: Focus on trading efficiently

  • Against setup decks: Disrupt their bench


What deck are you currently playing? I'm always looking for new ideas!
