Frosmoth Deck Core Combos and Interactions

Disruption	Single Point Attacker	Description
Frosmoth	Tentacruel	・This deck prioritizes disruption over offense, applying Poison or Sleep. ・Sleep disruption can be hard to deal with if your opponent is unlucky with Coin Flips.

Best Starting Hand

Best Starting Hand

Having Snom and Tentacool early allows you to start applying status effects ASAP, disrupting your opponent's setup as early as possible.

Red Card and Professor's Research should be used to help you with your own setup, with the former preventing your opponent from snowballing after using Poke Balls and their own Professor's Research, while Professor's Research allows you to thin your deck and try to get Tentacruel faster.

Frosmoth and Articuno ex Deck Best and Worst Matchups

Best Matchups

Deck	Commentary
Fire Decks	Type: ・Water Decks naturally match up favorably against Fire decks. ・+20 damage is meaningful, since the status effect attacks deal lower damage.

Worst Matchups

Deck	Commentary
Pikachu ex Decks	Type: ・ Pokemon in the deck are all weak to Lightning. ・ Difficult counterplay to disadvantageous damage trades.

Overall Consistency

Frosmoth and Tentacruel serve as the deck's disruptors, applying Sleep and Poison respectively. Sleep is a very disruptive status condition, but also relies on the opponent's unlucky sleep flips.

Successfully stacking both Sleep and Poison on the active Pokemon can give you a victory without you having to do anything
