PTCGP Water Pokemon Deck Strategy

Strategy Focuses on Resource Management

A common theme for Water Type Cards is that they focus on getting more resources on the field and denying opponents to build their board. Some cards also have healing, which helps in prolonging battles.

The best strategy is to utilize Misty's Trainer Card which gives a ton of Water Energy or Gyarados to remove energy from opponents!
