Ideal Starting Hand

N’s Zorua is ideal early in your starting hand. Additionally, getting Budew or Cleffa early gives them a safe switch for the Active Spot.

Here’s the strategy for this deck:

  • N’s Zoroark should be set up with two Basic Darkness Energy and deal damage as quickly as possible.
  • The best N’s Pokemon on the Bench are N’s Darmanitan and N’s Reshiram, whose moves N’s Zoroark can copy with Night Joker. The moves that players should look to copy are N’s Reshiram’s Virtuous Flame which does 170 damage and can be devastating early on, or N’s Darmanitan’s Flamebody Cannon, which deals 90 damage to both the opponent’s Active Pokemon as well as one on the Bench. N’s Darmanitan also serves as a late-game cleaner in a pinch with its first move Back Draft, though Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex is more consistent overall.
  • N’s Castle is a must as it lets N’s Zoroark swap in and out of the Active Spot as needed without cost.
  • As this is a deck running Basic Darkness Energy, Munkidori may find some use thanks to its ability Adrena-Brain. However, this monkey may not find as much use due to N’s Pokemon needing that Energy more often.
  • Powerglass and N’s PP Up are useful to attach any discarded Darkness Energy back on N’s Zoroark.
