An ideal starting hand would include Kangskhan, Koffing, and Dratini. Also a way to find it's evolutions like Professor's Research.

Be mindful of the Energy attachments for Dragonite, as it requires both Water and Lightning Energies. Since this deck doesn't use Dark Energy, you don't need to worry about Weezing's energy costs as its ability will be the key component of your strategy.

Click the links above to jump to a certain section!

Strategy 1: Early Game Kangaskhan

Early Game Kangaskhan
A1 203
A1 176 A1 183 P-A 007

Set up the board by having Kangaskhan be the Active Pokemon and deal damage to your opponent while Koffing and Dratini takes their time to evolve on the bench.

You can use Trainer Cards such as Professor's Research and Poke Ball if you are missing a few essential cards for your strategy.

Strategy 2: Dragonite's Draco Meteor

A1 177 A1 185 A1 222

Once Dragonite and Weezing have evolved on the bench and Dragonite has enough energy to attack, the second strategy comes into play.

Start by making Weezing your Active Pokemon to inflict Poison on your opponent’s Pokemon with its Ability. Then, use Koga to scoop Weezing out for free and bring in Dragonite to deliver a massive scattered damage across the board.

Game Phases

Early Game

Key Card(s) Required

Mid-Game

Key Card(s) Required
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Weezing(A1 177) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Dragonair(A1 184) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Kangaskhan(A1 203) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Potion(P-A 001)
Step Description
1 Koffing now evolves into Weezing, allowing it to activate its Gas Leak ability to inflict Poison on your opponent’s Active Pokémon. Swap it with Kangaskan so it can use its ability. This pressures the opponent to switch or spend energy to retreat in order to remove the Poison status.
2 Heal your Weezing with Potion if necessary since it might have received some damage from tanking.
3 At the same time, your Dratini should now be evolved as well into Dragonair..

Late Game

Key Card(s) Required
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Weezing(A1 177) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Dragonite(A1 185) Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Koga(A1 222)
1 Once your Dragonair has evolved into Dragonite and has enough energy to use Draco Meteor, you can switch it up with Weezing and inflict heavy scattered damage across the board.
2 Use Koga to scoop Weezing back into your hand. If your opponent's Active Pokemon is newly switched in, be sure to activate Weezing's Gas Leak ability before retrieving it.

Dragonite and Weezing Deck Best and Worst Matchups

Best Matchups

Deck Commentary

Charizard ex Decks
Type: Fire

・ Charizard ex decks will struggle to take down Dragonite due to their slow setup.
・Additionally, the opponent will be pressured to constantly switch their Active Pokemon to remove the Poison Status.
・Dragonite's ability to deal random heavy damage to both the active and benched Pokemon makes it especially strong against this deck, which relies heavily on having multiple Pokémon on the bench

Worst Matchups

Deck Commentary

Machamp ex Decks
Type: Fighting

・Since Weezing will be your tank and will be your Active Pokemon in the early game, Fighting-type decks can put you into a disadvantage due to their type advantage.
・You can counter this by immediately having Dragonite be your Active Pokemon and tank damage, however it can't perform an attack unless it has the required energies yet.

Overall Consistency

This deck functions by pressuring your opponent to frequently switch their Active Pokemon to remove the Poison status.

Meanwhile, you build up Dragonite in the bench and provide it's energy until it can unleash lethal damage, setting up for a powerful knockout and possible finisher.

Card Possible Cuts

Kangaskhan
Pokemon TCG Pocket-  Sabrina(A1 225)

・ You can swap out a Sabrina for another copy of Kangaskhan to add an aditional attacker that doesn't require evolution.
・Since switching Pokemon from Active to Benched removes the Poison status, Sabrina may become less effective during the late-game setup.

F2P Muk and Weezing Deck List

F2P Muk and Weezing Deck List
Pokemon Cards
Koffing x2 Weezing x2 Kangaskhan x2 Grimer x2
Muk x2
Trainer Cards
Potion x2 Giovanni x2 Poke Ball x2 Professor's Research x2
Koga x2

This deck replaces Dragonite's evolution line and incorporates Muk and Grimer for a pure Poison Lock strategy.

The overall strategy becomes different wherein your main focus is to deal fast attacks with less energy requirement, and inflicting Poison at the same time, pressuring your opponent to continuously switch out their Actvie Pokemon to remove the status effect.
