Learn the best way to use a Lycanroc Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Lycanroc from Journey Together becomes stronger based on how much damage the opponent has already taken. Additionally, its ability Spike Clad lets it attach Spiky Energy that you have already discarded, making it even more difficult for the opponent to KO your Pokemon. As such, this deck is focused on ensuring the opponent’s Pokemon cannot attack or KO your Pokemon without significant cost.
