Lapras Deck Strategy

Pokeball Icon Defeat Lapras quickly

Pokeball Icon Use Lightning-Type Pokemon

Lapras with 4 energy can be hard to deal with, even when using evolved Pokemon. Make sure to take out Lapras quickly, or finish the game before the AI can stack energy on Lapras!

Since this deck consists of mainly Basic Pokemon, it should not be too difficult, but using Lightning-Type Pokemon should speed up getting a victory!

Grapploct Deck Strategy

Pokeball Icon Defeat Grapploct quickly

Grapploct's attack that forces a switch every time can be quite annoying and expensive with Energy if you are forced to retreat other Pokemon every turn, so focus on eliminating Clobbopus early, or finishing the match before it can be played.

Since this deck consists of mainly Basic Pokemon, it should not be too difficult, but using Psychic-Type Pokemon should speed up getting a victory!

Nidorina & Nidorino Deck Strategy

Pokeball Icon Finish the match quickly

Pokeball Icon Use Fighting-Type Pokemon

Letting the AI set up both Nidorino and Nidorina can be quite troublesome if you are using a deck that consists mainly of Basic Pokemon, so scoring points while your opponent has Basic Pokemon is the best course of action.

Since this deck consists of mainly Basic Pokemon, it should not be too difficult, but using Fighting-Type Pokemon should speed up getting a victory!
