How Black Bolt and White Flare Will Shake Things Up

[PMJ]

Hello PokeBeach readers! Isaiah here, and I am happy to be writing another article for you all! Last time, I discussed the new Raging Bolt ex build that saw success at the Japan National Championship. Since then, I have continued to test the deck quite a bit, and I think the deck is certainly just as good as its result indicated.

What do you mean by this? We literally have plenty of ways of searching any stadiums in the current format: Colress`s Tenacity, Petrel and Secret Box.
These 3 cards can cherry pick any stadium card.
