Learn the best way to use a Poliwrath Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Poliwrath from Twilight Masquerade adopts a unique hit-and-run strategy. Its move Jumping Uppercut does 240 damage at the cost of Poliwrath, and all cards attached to it are shuffled into the deck immediately after using it. With a power boost from a Defiance Band or a Maximum Belt, Poliwrath can catch unprepared players off-guard.
Pokemon TCG Best Poliwrath Deck Guide Overview
The plan is to set up multiple Poliwrath and cycle between them while using the move Jumping Uppercut for at least 240 damage. Mimikyu is an option that can be placed in the Active Spot at the right moment to prevent the opponent’s Pokemon ex from attacking.
