Azumarill is a hard-hitting Psychic type Stage 2 card. While its move Double Edge has a high Energy cost and recoil, its ability takes care of the former issue. With a Tera Pokemon on the Bench, Azu is free to spam its Double Edges to the player’s heart’s content. And as a single Prize Attacker, even if it gets KO’d the trade will usually be in your favor.

Pokemon TCG Best Azumarill Deck Guide Overview

The plan is to use Azumarill’s Double Edge to KO the Defending Pokemon, with Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex staying on the Bench to lower the move’s cost. Double Edge deals 230 damage, which can KO most single Prize attackers and seriously damage opposing Pokemon ex.

Here’s the strategy for this deck:

  • Azumarill will set up and attack with Double Edge as the main attacker of this deck.
  • Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon ex is the Tera Pokemon of choice to activate Azumarill’s ability. Additionally, this deck carries a few Basic Fighting Energy, so that it can act in the endgame.
  • Lillie’s Clefairy ex will let Azumarill hit Dragons for double damage.
  • Recoil damage can be a problem with Azumarill’s low HP of 120. The Stadium card Moonlit Hill can restore 30 HP by discarding Basic Psychic Energy.

Funnily enough for a card that relies on Tera Pokemon to deal damage, Azumarill works well against Tera Box decks. This is because Azumarill can KO most of these decks’ main attackers with a single Double Edge.
