Venusaur ex Deck Deck Best and Worst Matchups

Best Matchups

Deck Commentary

Pikachu ex Decks
Type: Lightning

・Pikachu ex decks will struggle to 2HKO Venusaur ex decks, while being susceptible to 2HKOs themselves.

Worst Matchups

Deck Commentary

Blaine Decks
Type: Fire

・Blaine decks pack enough firepower to threaten Venusaur ex and Exeggutor ex.
・The deck's speed may be difficult to compete with.

Overall Consistency

The Venusaur ex and Exeggutor ex deck's biggest strength is Venusaur ex's inevitability and ability to take over games that it is present in. Very few Pokemon in Genetic Apex can reliably OHKO or even 2HKO the exs in the deck, making it the best defensive deck available.

This deck excels at being a Battle Cruiser type deck, which aims to weather its opponents offense and take over the game once they've run out of resources.

Venusaur ex Deck Card Substitutes

Card Explanation

Card Possible Cuts

Sabrina
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Red Card(P-A 006)

・ A well-placed Sabrina can mean the difference in point trades. This can be the deck's tech card of choice instead of Red Card.

Giovanni
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Red Card(P-A 006)

・ Giovanni can also replace Red Card as a tech, which lets the Pokemon in the deck an extra 10 damage, which couild matter in some situations.

Lilligant
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Exeggutor ex(A1 023)

・ Liligant can ramp up Venusaur ex and help it set up quicker than it would with just regular Energy attachments.
