How to Play Dondozo Deck

Best Starting Hand

Best Starting Hand

Having Dondozo on your active spot and Giratina ex on the bench at the start allows you to speed up the generation of energy for Ocean Cyclone.

As your main attacker, Dondozo should get at least two of Giratina ex's generated energy with the help of Dawn so it can attack as early as possible.

Dondozo Deck Strategies

Generate Extra Energy with Giratina ex

Giratina ex's main role in this deck is to generate energy with Borken-Space Bellow and transfer it to Dondozo using Dawn to fulfill the two Colorless energy requirement of Ocean Cyclone.

With the right cards, Dondozo can use its attack and deal damage to the other half of the board as early as your third turn.

Gust Damaged Enemies with Cyrus

Dondozo dealing damage to all Pokemon in the backline makes them valid targets for Cyrus. Use this advantage to deal with Pokemon setting up on the bench and disrupt your opponent's strategy.

Irida and Tatsugiri Keeps Dodonzo from Getting KO'd

Tatsugiri's Retreat Directive Ability allows Dodonzo to retreat for free and switch in your other Dodonzo. This can be a clutch in cases where the opponent can KO your Dodonzo with four energy in the next turn and reset your whole strategy.

Alternatively, you can heal your Dodonzo with Irida to keep it in the active spot for longer. With an HP of 120, Dondozo can tank for a few more turns with Irida's support.
