This is a fun deck I've been messing with at league. Electrode is one of the few quick damage Lightning pokemon out there. With DWD, Emploeon, and Gatr all running around I thought I would see what it could do.
Original decklist altered
Pokemon (22)
4-3 Electrode (SW)
3-2-3 Nidoqueen d (DF)
1 Rayquazza Ex d (DF)
1 Latios EX d (DF)
1 Latias (HP)
4 Holon's Castform
Trainers (25)
3 Holon Mentor
4 Roseanne's Research
4 Rare Candy
3 Windstorm
4 Celio's Network
2 Night Maintenence
3 Plus Power
2 Super Scoop Up
Energy (13)
4 Metal (special)
5 Lightning
4 DRE
Strategy: Holon Castform is your optimal starter, but either Lati can work as well. Voltorb is also a passable starter if you get the right hand. Use the many basic search cards to get Latilock going along with at least 1 Voltorb and the start of a Queen. Draw as much as you can with Castform then start bombing away with Electrodes for a few turns. You don't need 4 Electrode, but having 3 helps finding one early in the game when you want it. Use this combination to reuse the same Electrode several times: Blow an Electrode for 100 damage, attacth the Electrode as energy onto a benched Voltorb, send up a Lati@s with free retreat to take a hit, next turn retreat for the Voltorb, attatch a Castform which returns the Electrode to your hand, evolve to Electrode and go boom for 100 again. Rinse and repeat until you run out of Voltorbs or there are 6 Pokemon in your discard pile. Try and pile several Metal on a Queen and start sweeping for 90 to finish off whatever your opponent has left. Ray EX d adds a much needed sniper and can usually attack for 1 energy midgame if you fall behind on prizes.
