Inteleon caught the attention of a lot of players when it was first announced as part of the Mega Evolution set. This is because of its capability to KO any Pokemon on the field if it has low enough HP. While this will depend a lot on what the opponent brings, the fact that Inteleon only needs a single Water Energy to do its thing makes it appealing. So let us see how to use this deck in this article.

Pokemon TCG Best Inteleon Deck Guide Overview

The plan is to alternate between both of Inteleon’s moves, Bring Down and Water Shot. Bring Down will KO the Pokemon with the lowest HP on the field. However, this could also potentially be one of your Pokemon so be careful. In those cases, Water Shot does a decent 110 damage for a single Basic Water Energy at the cost of discarding it.
