Pokémon: 20
3-3 Alolan Marowak (main attacker / energizer)
3-2 Alolan Ninetales / 1 Alolan Ninetales GX (secondary attacker / set-up / wall)
2-2 Alolan Sandslash (draw support)
2-2 Alolan Muk (ability lock)
Trainer: 30
4 Cynthia
3 Prof. Sycamore
3 N
3 Guzma
3 Ultra Ball
3 Evosoda
2 Field Blower
1 Rescue Stretcher
3 Float Stone
2 Choice Band
3 Brooklet Hill
Energy: 10
6 Water Energy
4 Double Colorless Energy
--------------------------------------------
Straight-forward budget option for this rotation. Feels meme-ish, but runs surprisingly well.
Brooklet Hill is essential to fetch every pre-evo (minus Grimer), working in tandem with Alolan Vulpix's Beacon (which nets you evolutions as well).
After that, you should have at least one Marowak swinging for 120 dmg, as well as either Muk barring abilities or Sandslash drawing stuff.
By then, you should be able to tell which version of Ninetales you need: normal for blocking GX or your own GX to take beefy knockouts and/or prey on benched basics. Either way, both serve as walls, as long as Icy Path GX is available.
Every pre-evo in this deck has at least two different versions, make sure you get the right ones. While Vulpix is obvious, I like 60hp Cubone for quick Zorua knock-outs, Defense Curl Sandshrew and Psychic Grimer.
Still not a definite list, as there are certain cards worthy of consideration, such as:
- Alolan Raticate for fun zero-energy OHKOs on Dawn Wings Necrozma (w/ Choice Band)
- Special Charge to make sure you don't run out of steam against control decks
- Energy Lotto because streamlining DCEs is vital to the deck's success
- Aqua Patch to accelerate Alolan Ninetales (any version), working in tandem with Alolan Ninetales GX and any anecdotal discarding
- other stuff not accounted for
Of course, critics, suggestions and comments are always appreciated.
