Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Getting back into the game and frustrated with building.

I recently got back into the game. I brought my deck to league and got stomped on pretty much every game. I want to build a fast deck, what types are out there? Right now I am running a Tyranitar/Weavile energy removal deck and its not doing me much good. I was thinking of something based on Zekrom.
 
That happens to everyone who first starts out playing, you're not alone. Just keep at it and learn from each of your games!

Some Zekrom based decks are:

ZPST (Zekrom/Pachirisu/Shaymin/Tornadus)
ZPS
Zekrom/Eelektrik

I would suggest Zekrom/Eels because it is cheaper ($.50 Eelektrik vs. $20 Pachirisu) and it has a better late game. A basic start for the deck would be:

4 Zekrom
4-4 Eelektrik
3 Tornadus

Tornadus is a pretty good counter for fighting types, and it can charge up Zekrom with its Hurricane attack. As for Supporter/Trainers:

4 Juniper
4 Sage's Training

Both of these Supporters help you discard your lightning energies, which you can then use Eelektrik to charge your bench.

4 Dual Ball
3 Junk Arm
4 Pokemon Catcher
2 Switch

Dual Balls are pretty cheap and are really good. Junk Arm gets your energies into the discard, and let's you abuse Catcher. Catcher is for dragging stuff up.

10 Lightning
4 DCE (Double Colorless Energy)

That's 53 cards right there. Some more cards to consider fitting in:

PONT/N(More draw support)
PlusPower
Pokemon Communication
1 Cleffa
1 Super Rod

Hope it helps! :thumb:
