The crux of this deck revolves around Meowscarada and Beedrill being well-suited to cover each other’s weaknesses. Beedrill is quite well-suited to take care of any non-Ex card while reducing its energy. This locks the enemy into a constant state of using energy on the active zone Pokemon to launch attacks back.

Meanwhile, any Ex cards can be dealt with by Meowscarada due to its unique Fighting Claws. In addition, both cards can launch deadly attacks with just two energy. This makes them quick to set up and easy to attack.

Lastly, Erika will be a boon to this deck, healing 50 damage and helping out vastly in letting your Pokemon survive and take another hit and launch another attack.

How To Use and Basic Combos

The deck relies on using a dual attacker system revolving around Meowscarada and Beedrill. You should decide on your active zone Pokemon based on what your opponent is using at the moment.

Cards like Pokemon Communication, Professor’s Research, and Poke Ball will let you draw a more consistent hand in battle. Cyrus and Sabrina do their general role of disrupting enemy formations, while Red boosts your damage in a critical situation when needed.

This deck is not quite as weak to Fire decks as most people would believe. This is because this deck is simply faster than most Fire decks in the meta at the moment. Still, if you are slower to complete your setup, these Fire decks will be quick to shut you down.

Moreover, this deck falls quickly against fast attackers like Rampardos, which can attack using only one energy.
