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

Haxorus can be a powerful threat that can catch unprepared players off-guard. While its first move, Cross-Cut, can deal massive damage against Evolution cards, it is even stronger against Basic Pokemon like Zekrom ex and Raging Bolt ex. This is because of its second move, Axe-Blast, which will guarantee a KO against any Basic Pokemon.
Pokemon TCG Best Haxorus Deck Guide Overview
The plan is to set up Haxorus and utilize both of its moves depending on whether the Defending Pokemon is an Evolution Pokemon or a Basic Pokemon. Cards like Hilda and Rare Candy are necessary so as to fast-track the Haxorus set up, as otherwise this deck can be a bit slow.
