Strategy
The "Darkness Water" deck in the Standard format of Pokemon TCG focuses on utilizing Darkness Energy and Water-type Pokemon to control the game and disrupt your opponent's strategy. **Strategy:** - **Dark Patch (ASR 139) and Energy Switch (sv1 173)**: These cards help you accelerate energy onto your Pokemon quickly, allowing you to power up your attacks faster. - **Rare Candy (PGO 69) and Buddy-Buddy Poffin (TEF 144)**: Great for evolving your Pokemon quickly and fetching crucial cards from your deck. - **Gastly (TEF 102) and Gengar ex (TEF 104)**: These powerful Darkness-type Pokemon can deal significant damage and disrupt your opponent with their abilities. - **Professor's Research (BRS 147) and Professor Sada's Vitality (sv4 170)**: These cards help you draw into more resources and find key cards to keep your strategy going. - **Boss's Orders (BRS 132)**: Allows you to switch your opponent's active Pokemon, disrupting their plans and potentially taking advantage of weaker benched Pokemon. - **Lumineon V (PR-SW SWSH250) and Radiant Greninja (ASR 46)**: Strong Water-type Pokemon that can provide additional support and coverage in battles. - **Prime Catcher (TEF 157)**: Useful for bringing out specific Pokemon from your opponent's bench. **Good Points:** - Ability to disrupt opponent's strategy with cards like Boss's Orders. - Quick energy acceleration with Dark Patch and Energy Switch. - Strong Pokemon like Gengar ex and Gastly for powerful attacks. - Bounce back with cards like Super Rod for recycling Pokemon and energy. **Bad Points:** - Relies heavily on specific Pokemon to execute the strategy effectively. - Vulnerable to decks that can counter Darkness and Water-type Pokemon easily. - Limited consistency with only one copy of key cards like Rare Candy and Gengar ex. Overall, the "Darkness Water" deck offers a mix of disruption, power, and speed in the Standard format, but it requires careful planning and execution to overcome its weaknesses and maximize its strengths on the battlefield.
