SMOG ALERT
Pokémon (14):
4 Rocket's Weezing (beatdown)

4 Prof. Research (draw)
3 Rocket Archer (draw)
3 Iono (draw)
3 Rocket Great Ball (search)
3 Night Stretcher (retrieval)

2 Sacred Ash (retrieval)
2 Exp Share (conserve)
3 Ultra Ball (search)
3 Rocket Factory (draw)
Energy (10):
6 Darkness Energy
4 Rocket Energy
STRATEGY:
The main idea is to swam the battlefield with Rocket's Weezing and Koffing to deal a consistent 240 damage to the opponent. The retrieval items are intended to consistently ensure a full bench to fuel Rocket's Weezing. Combine the raw beatdown with massive amounts of hand disruption to slow the opponent down buy some turns to enable Rocket's Weezing to trade-up when faced with two-prize Pokémon.
SPOILER:
Rocket's Weezing
Stage 1 Darkness Pokémon - evolves from Rocket's Koffing
HP: 130
[D][C] All-Out Explosion: 40x
This attack does 40 damage for each Pokémon in play with Koffing or Weezing in its name.
Retreat Cost: CC
Weakness: F
Rocket's Koffing
Basic Darkness Pokémon
HP: 70
Ability: Alert Smog
If this Pokémon is in the active spot and is damaged by an attack from your opponent’s Pokémon (even if this Pokémon is knocked out), search your deck for up to 2 Pokémon with Koffing in their name and put them onto your bench. Then, shuffle your deck.
[D][C] Gas Leak: 30
Retreat Cost: C
Weakness: F
Rocket's Great Ball
Trainer - Item
Flip a coin. If heads, search your deck for an evolution Rocket’s Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. If tails, search your deck for a Basic Rocket’s Pokémon, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then, shuffle your deck.
Rocket's Archer
Trainer - Supporter
You can play this card only if any of your Rocket’s Pokémon were knocked out during your opponent’s last turn.
Each player shuffles their hand into their deck. Then, you draw 5 cards, and your opponent draws 3 cards.
Rocket's Factory
Trainer - Stadium
Once during either player’s turn, when that player plays a supporter with Rocket in its name from their hand, they may draw 2 cards.
CARD SHARK
Pokémon:
4-4 Rocket's Weezing: The main attacker with All-Out Explosion. Its pre-evolution has a nice ability, which helps to fill the bench on the first to second turn.
4 Koffing: Used to fuel Rocket's Weezing.
1 Rocket's Sneasel: Hunt down stage 2 two-prizer on the bench.
1 Fezandipiti ex: Occational draw.
Trainer:
4-3-3 Professor's Research, Iono, and Rocket's Archer: Since the deck runs Rocket's Pokémon and non-Rocket's Pokémon at the same time we use the more stable classic draw engine and supplement it with Rocket's Archer for some additional hand disruption and draw.
2 Boss' Orders: The classic gust supporter works better in this specific Rocket deck compared to Rocket Giovanni because it is less conditional.
4-3-3 Buddy Buddy Poffin, Rocket's Great Ball, and Ultra Ball: Versatile and stable Pokémon search engine to keep the bench filled with Koffing and Rocket's Weezing.
3 PokéGear 3.0: Stable search for supporter cards is needed in a deck that relies a lot on supporter-based draw.
3-2 Night Stretcher and Sacred Ash: Versatile combo to reshuffle and retrieve discarded and defeated Koffing and Rocket's Weezing cards.
2 Exp Share: Reuse Basic Darkness Energy to stream attacks with Rocket's Weezing.
1 Unfair Stamp: Disruption and draw.
3 Rocket's Factory: Combos well with Rocket's Archer to enable you to shuffle-draw seven cards while the opponent draws three.
Energy:
4-6 Rocket's Energy and Basic Darkness Energy: Stable amount to ensure Rocket's Weezing can continue to attack from turn two onwards.
POSSIBLE MODIFICATION:
