Learn the best way to use an Amoonguss Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.

Amoonguss from the Black Bolt split expansion is a new addition to combinations relying on Poison to deal damage. Like the Scolipede and Crobat decks, this Amoonguss deck also utilizes Poison to rack up massive levels of damage very quickly. Amoonguss is able to utilize this Special Condition to deal a massive amount of damage thanks to its move Dangerous Reaction, which gets a power boost if the Defending Pokemon is suffering from one.

The plan is to Poison both Active Pokemon with the help of Brute Bonnet’s ability, Toxic Powder. Amoonguss, or the deck’s secondary attacker Klawf, uses their respective moves Dangerous Reaction or Unhinged Scissors to deal more damage to the poisoned Defending Pokemon.
