Best Iono’s Bellibolt Ex Deck in Pokemon TCG: Key Cards

Here’s the strategy for this deck:
- Iono’s Bellibolt ex uses its ability Electric Streamer to attach Basic Lightning Energy to any of Iono’s Pokemon in play on your side of the field. It can also serve as a powerful attacker with its move Thunderous Bolt, which deals 230 damage.
- Iono’s Kilowattrel can ensure you have a hand of at least 6 cards each turn with its ability Flashing Draw. This ability lets you draw up to 6 cards if you discard a Basic Lightning Energy attached to it.
- Iono’s Voltorb is a single Prize attacker that can deal insane damage with its move Chain Bolt. With a base power of 20 for two Colorless Energy, Chain Bolt does 20 more damage for each Basic Lightning Energy attached to all of your Iono’s Pokemon. This gives it damage output on par with most Pokemon ex.
