N's Zoroark ex
Consistent, flexible, never short of options.
What this deck is
The second most-played deck. It is built around drawing lots of cards and adapting to whatever the opponent does, which makes it one of the most consistent choices in the format.
It is a good step up for a player who has learned the basics and wants a deck that almost always does something useful each turn.
- 1Set up two or three N's Zoroark ex quickly, since it is only a Stage 1.
- 2Use the Trade Ability repeatedly to keep the hand full and find the right cards.
- 3Copy the best attack from a Benched N's Pokémon with Night Joker.
- 4Adapt the plan turn by turn rather than following one fixed line.
Who it suits
A player ready for choices. It is flexible rather than scripted, so it rewards thinking but rarely leaves you stuck.
