Strategies

This deck concept is very simple: The more you draw cards, the higher your chance of winning the game. Let's start with Salazzle, a Support Pokemon whose Ability Roast Reveal allows you to draw 3 Cards every turn in exchange for discarding 1 Fire Energy from your Hand. Don't worry about running out of Fire Energy, you have more than enough Fire Energy to use this Ability and there is a Trainer Card that will help you recover Fire Energy Cards from your Discard Pile.

You can also use its Attack Combustion (60 Damage) for 2 Energy if you don't have any other Attackers in play. But, I still recommend to put Salazzle of Bench to prevent from being Knocked Out so that you can keep Draw 3 Extra Cards every turn.


Aside from Salazzle, there are 3 Different Supporter Cards (Hau, Lillie and Looker) you can use to Draw Cards. Don't save those cards, just use it straightaway as this Theme Deck becomes Stronger when you have more Cards in your Hand.

Incineroar is another Supporter Pokemon. Its Ability Strong Cheer increase the Attacks of your Pokemon by extra 30 Damage. So, all your Attacking Pokemon will deal extra 30 Damage when you hanve Incineroar on the Bench.

You can also use it as an Attacker, its Attack Flamethrower has 90 Damage for 2 Energy but you need to Discard 1 Energy from it to use the Attack. The Attack will become 120 Damage (90 +30) with the help from Strong Cheer Ability. Since Incineroar is Stage 2 Pokemon, it will take quite a while to Evolve it and you may probably use it in the Late Game as Attacker.


Daramnitan is an Early Game Attack due to its Attack Low Energy Cost and it is Stage 1 Pokemon. Its Attack Flare Blitz does Heavy 110 Damage but you need to discard all Fire Energy attached to it. That's where Welder Supporter Cards come in, this card allow you to Attach 2 Fire Energy Cards from your Hand to 1 of your Pokemon and then you draw 3 Cards. So, you can use Fire Blitz Attack in next turn again. This damage is strong enough to Knock Out most of the Pokemon in 1 hit in Theme Deck Battle.

That's why it is very important to draw as many cards as possible  so that you can have enough Energy Cards and Trainer Card like Welder to keep using this kind of Powerful Attack again and again. Doing so, your opponent won't have chance to do noting much in the early game.

In case you have Low Fire Energy Cards in your Hand, you can use its other Attack FIne Wildfire to put 3 Fire Energy from your Deck into your Hand.

If you run out of Fire Energy in your Hand to use Daramitan Attack, you can switch to Next Attacker with Switch Item Card.

Fisherman is the another perfect Supporter Card for this Theme Deck since this card allows you to put 4 Basic Card from your Discard Pile into your Hand. So, you don't have to worry about running out of Fire Energy to use all of your Pokemon Strong Attack.

Turtonator is the Strongest Attacker in this Theme Deck. Unlike other Pokemon, it has higher Energy Cost (3 Fire Energy) to use its Attack. Its Attack Explosion Jet does 50 Damage for each Fire Energy Card you discarded from any of your Pokemon in play. To Knock Out any Pokemon in Theme Deck, you need 4 Fire Energy Cards (200 Damage) to discarded in play.This Attack is very similar to Darminitan Attack Fire Blitz, the only difference is that you can deal Higher Damage based on the number of Fire Energy you discarded in play. So, I recommend to save its Attack when you are dealing with Theme Deck that consist of Pokemon that has HP higher than 140. Otherwise, you can use it in a similar way as Darminitan.



Mewtwo is not really meant for Attacker, but rather a Strong Supporter Pokemon. Its Abiliy Mind Report allow you to put a Supporter Card from your discard pile on top of your deck. This means you can use that Supporter Card during your next turn. Take note that you need to put Mewtwo on your Bench to use that Ability.  You can use this Ability mainly recover either Welder or Fisherman depending on what you need to perform next Attack. For instance, if your Darminitan run out of Attached Energy from using its Attack Fire Blitz and you have 2 Fire Energy in your Hand, you can use Mewtwo Ability to recover Welder from your Discard Pile and use the Fire Blitz again in your next turn.
