Learn the best way to use a Hop’s Sandaconda Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.

Hop’s Sandaconda is a card that works best as a trapper thanks to its first move, Rumble. However, while its second move Break Ground can deal damage as well, it causes recoil damage to all of your Benched Pokemon. But with the help of Munkidori, it is possible to redirect some of that damage to your opponent’s Pokemon as well.
So let’s look at the best way to use Hop’s Sandaconda in the current Pokemon TCG meta.

The plan is to trap the opponent’s Active Pokemon with Hop’s Sandaconda’s move Rumble. After that, once they are weakened enough, use Break Ground to deal damage to them and use Munkidori’s ability Adrena Brain to put those damage counters on your opponent’s Pokemon.
