Aggro decks, which gets its name from the word aggressive
are decks that are strong in the early stages of a game. These decks aim to win before the opponent is able to secure a board state using Pokemon with inexpensive attack costs and cards that ramp Energy to gain an early advantage.
Two classifications of decks are either aggro or non-aggro. These are decks that are either strong early in a game or late into a game. If you favor either of these, consider building a deck that suits your playstyle.
Some non-aggro decks such as Arbok Lock or Wigglytuff ex are also called control decks. These are decks that control the board by manipulating the opponent's board with status or disruption.
