Learn the best way to use a Walrein Deck in the current Pokemon TCG meta and which cards work well in this archetype.
Walrein from Surging Sparks has the potential to disrupt meta decks like Gholdengo ex or Raging Bolt ex, which use two or fewer Basic Energy to attack. This is because of its move Frigid Fangs, whose secondary effect prevents Pokemon with two or fewer Energy from attacking.
The plan is to use Walrein, Glimmora, and the Item Crushing Hammer to prevent the opponent from attacking and slowly stalling out to a victory.

Here’s the strategy for this deck:
- Walrein uses Frigid Fangs to prevent the opponent from attacking as long as they have two or fewer Energy attached.
