Learn the best way to use a Conkeldurr Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Conkeldurr from the Black Bolt expansion is a deceptively bulky card. Its ability, Craftsmanship, adds 40 more HP for each Basic Fighting Energy attached to it. As it needs at least four Energy to use its move, Swing Around, this should guarantee at least 300 HP if it has taken no damage previously. With the help of Garchomp ex from Paradox Rift, it can easily attach the required Energy from your discard pile.
Pokemon TCG Best Conkeldurr Deck Guide Overview
The plan is to use Garchomp ex’s Hydro Lander to attach as many Basic Fighting Energy as possible to a Conkeldurr on the Bench. Once you feel you have enough, spam Conkeldurr’s Swing Around to clean up the opponent from there.

Best Conkeldurr Deck in Pokemon TCG: Key Cards
Here’s the strategy for this deck:
- Garchomp ex uses its move, Hydro Lander, to attach Basic Fighting Energy from your discard pile to Conkeldurr. It also deals a decent chunk of damage at 160.
- The ACE SPEC of this deck is Brilliant Blender, which can help discard the Energy for Garchomp ex to use. Additionally, the Supporter Explorer’s Guidance can help in a similar fashion.
- Once set up, Conkeldurr can come in and spam its move, Swing Around. While there is a coin flip element to it, its HP stat will be boosted enough so that it can try multiple times.

While Garchomp ex is at risk of being KOd quickly by the Pokemon in a Joltik Box deck, Conkeldurr can sweep them fairly fast, as they deal double damage in return.
