Best Starting Hand

Best Starting Hand

A good opening hand would always have multiple Basic Pokemon as well as Professor's Research to dig for evolution cards for the following turns. It is also good to have Koga ready for when you need to scoop up a Weezing.

Use Koffing's Division to find the other Koffing from the deck.

Other Good Starting Cards

Scolipede and Weezing Deck Strategies
Weezing's Gas Leak Scolipede's Venoshock

Strategy 1: Weezing's Gas Leak

Weezing's Gas Leak

The first strategy is to have Weezing tank damage while continuously attacking and chipping away at a Poisoned opponent. Venipede will be Benched for now until it's ready to attack as Whirlipede or Scolipede.

Strategy 2: Scolipede's Venoshock

Scolipede is the deck's main source of damage, with Venoshock being able to deal a good 120 damage + 10 if the defending Pokemon is Poisoned.

Scolipede and Weezing Deck Best and Worst Matchups

Best Matchups

Deck	Commentary
Mewtwo ex Decks	Type: ・Scolipede can easily KO Mewtwo ex and Ralts. ・Weezing can disrupt your opponent from building resources, by forcing them to switch around their Active and Benched Pokemon due to Poison and super-effective damage.

Worst Matchups

Deck	Commentary
Fighting Decks	Type: ・Fighting decks can hit all of our Pokemon for super-effective damage.
Pikachu ex Decks	Type: ・Pikachu ex decks can outpace and KO our unevolved Pokemon. ・Lightning decks like to swap around their Active and Benched Pokemon plus their Energy with Lt. Surge making the Poison strategy less effective.

Overall Consistency

This deck is remarkably consistent, with the exception of the typical weaknesses of a Stage 2 deck. Weezing is the TCG Pocket's premiere wall, and Scolipede is able to capitalize on that with Venoshock's synergy with Gas Leak.

Scolipede and Weezing Deck F2P & Substitutes

Scolipede and Weezing Deck Card Substitutes

Card	Explanation
Salandit	・ Salandit is a Fire-type that also has Venoshock with a Colorless Attack Cost. This makes it a great tech card against Celebi ex decks.
Muk	・ Muk also has Venoshock, but it is slower because of it costing 3 instead of 2. ・ Scolipede is superior to Muk because Whirlipede is able to support the deck's strategy by also being able to induce Poison with Poison Sting.

Scolipede and Weezing Deck Other Viable Options

Card	Possible Cuts
Tauros	・ Tauros can deal a solid 120 damage to ex Pokemon for 3 Energy. ・ Its Fighting Tackle may look tedious to set up at first glance, but the deck's Pokemon have low costing Attacks, giving you freedom to attach extra Energy to a benched Tauros.
Mew ex	・ Mew ex is also a strong addition to the deck, as it can KO high HP Pokemon like Charizard ex, which Scolipede can't easily take down.
