PTCGP Fire Pokemon Deck Strategy

Strategy Focuses on Dealing Huge Damage While Discarding Energy

A common theme for Fire Type cards is that they can dish out a ton of damage at a cost of discarding Energy. This makes them good at picking off Opponents with a ton of HP like ex Cards.

The best strategy to use is to have a tanky Pokemon like Chansey or Snorlax soak up damage at front while you build your nukes at the bench and firing them off when available.
