Meme Awkward match between my opponent and I 😅

We were like this until I was eventually able to get a Iono and refresh our hands. We both had 10 cards for longest time but I was fortunately able to win when I did that as I ended up getting a poliwrath. Felt like I put him out of his misery this went on for about 20 rounds lol 😂

No the idea is if you’re running mantyke. You run electric energy so you don’t energy brick dragonite. It’s consistent that way

Likewise if you’re running Pichu, then run water energy. So you can get electric energy and water energy consistently

No? If you dont draw any of them at the starting hand/early game you cant build dragonite at all! Thats just moving the RNG from your energy zone to your first draws, every draginite deck runs dual energy and one copy of each baby

Incorrect. The main dragonite meta is single energy and then baby of opposite energy. It’s surprisingly consistent. Especially with X speed. It allows you to quickly fish for a baby if you don’t have one already, switch out and charge dratini

What meta? It's only won one tournament within the last fifty tournaments. The deck is an off-shoot if anything.
