75% of the games are like yeah this is OP, 25% are like: Where the heck are all my Pokémon?

I like running 2 extra basic pokemon for Pikachu EX decks because otherwise it's very common to not have a full bench by the time you start attacking.

Fun Deck to Test Out: (I’m like 3 for 4 against Pika decks currently)
Butterfree line (x1) (with extra Caterpie for early searching)
Beedrill line (x2)
Potion (x2)
Poke Ball (x2)
Oak (x2)
Erika (x2)
Sabrina (x2)

Zapdos Ex is a myth fabricated to make me continuously open Pikachu packs. I have 3 Pikachu Ex but zero Zapdos.

[Valter_David]

I prefer the Zebstrika variation because it lets you poke the bench so all benched pokemon can be at KO range for pikachu

[Kaisingsens]

unite players 🤝 pocket players
“god…pika is soo annoying”

POV: you've pulled 3 Zapdos ex and only 1 Pikachu ex

[Kommunist_Kittens]

I'm a F2P player, I've somehow gotten lucky enough to get 2 Articuno so far, so I have a Greninja Articuno deck and it obliterates, it's soooo consistent, being able to do 30 damage to the bench is insane, won me the game too many times,

[AmiiboDoctor]

I've run some Pikachu EX, and it's probably the best deck. It's limited by the inability to pull more energy and the ability to pull specific cards. If you run 2 Pikachu ex (2), the Electrode line (3) and a third basic (4) you need all four of those cards ready to do the max 90 damage. Poke Ball gets you 2 of them (6), but you're still fighting the odds of pulling the basic against your non-basic cards. There's basically a 6 in 20 odds on turn 1 that you'll pull a basic, and you've gotta pull 3 of them plus a Pikachu. If you add more basics, you lower the odds that you'll pull Pikachu. That trade-off and reliance on RNG is the "balancing" factor for this deck.
If you put out a non-Pikachu basic to buy you time to find and set up your Pikachu ex, then you've still gotta take two turns to put energy on it once you've got it - in which time your non-Pikachu basic will often die.

my misty never hits to.. until yesterday... 9 in a row.. ninw mana first turn of the game... what a blast

[LumberjackMC]

Pincurchin is a must for Pikachu ex decks, you can start with them, it does take 2 energy to do damage but the chance to paralyze after damage is huge in tough situations. Helped me during the Lapras event.

My current deck:

2x Pikachu ex
Raichu
Pikachu
2x Blitzle
2x Zebstrika
Magnemite
Magneton (4 energy attack that takes 2 turns to fill up because of ability)
Pinchurchin
2x Professor Oak
2x Potion
2x Pokeball
X speed
Sabrina
Giovanni

Haven't pulled a Zapdos ex yet.

I’m glad the battle theme is catchy, but not catchy enough to be playing on repeat in my brain. I love it though

[larryfoot]

Do you have any videos where you walk through your thought process on each turn? I am BRAND NEW to TCGs but like Pocket. I have most relevant cards for this pikachu deck and hearing why you do what you do each turn would help.

I can follow along and make inferences but the play by play would be a really great listening and learning experience.

[psychadelicactus]

Just pulled this card an hour ago and have plenty of lightning cards. Thanks for the vid!

[SM-nsru]

It’s such an addictive deck to use and so consistent. I called my deck the ‘Full Circuit’.

[chefc]

My lightning aggro deck is by far my best at this stage as a F2P. Attack quick, low or no retreat cost (esp with 2 X speeds) low energy costs.

Drawback are hp are generally lower and lack of recovery

[Kidynamo]

This combo is so consistent it still runs pretty hot even without a second Pika

[Ohneste]

I still think Starmie EX is better - the free retreat is game winning

[doopness]

This video inspired me to use my free packs to choose Pikachu packs and I got a Pikachu EX 😊

[ScottOverholt-zi]

The best card is Sabrina. The best deck is Pikachu EX. I think making Basic EX Pokémon set one was a terrible idea.
