Pokemon Card GB 2 Part 52: Power Pieces

The top two chess pieces have the best two decks of the bunch as expected!

Rook's Colorless Energy deck uses, well... colorless energy all around the place. :P It does have a little splash of elemental help in the form of Eeveelutions though. It's relatively well focused with just 3 evolution lines, but there are a lot of different versions of some cards. Which means you'll end up facing a variety of critters with the same name. Probably. Moon Stone helps search anything colorless while Pokemon Trader is likely used for the rest or anything needed in general. So chances are you'll see some evolutions as well. Dragonair and Energy Removal will look familiar to you too. XD But if you can outspeed it or undo the energy yourself, it should be pretty smooth.

Queen's deck uses those really good basic Pokemon I have shown you the usefulness of before. But all at once! That............ probably isn't too good of an idea. XD It has too many elemental types which makes having the right energy difficult, especially against someone using Energy Removal. Energy Search and Rainbow Energy helps a lot, but since the energy is spread so thinly, it goes pretty fast. She also is strangely lacking Professor Oak to get them quicker. Some Energy Retrieval would help, but she has none of those. So if I were to improve the deck, I'd probably drop 1 copy of each of the 5 basic Pokemon, 1 switch, then add 3 Energy Retrieval and 2 Professor Oak. That way even if the sparse energy gets discarded, she can get it back. Alternately as I mentioned in the video, it may be wiser to just drop the energy types (and corresponding Basic Pokemon) down to 3 to add some consistency. If, say... the Lapras (needs all water/Rainbow) and Jynx (weak it it's own type and only two energy for it aside from Rainbow) were removed, energy could be redistributed to the Fighting, Fire and Lightning sides which also have good elemental coverage for each other. There are many ways to make a deck like this really. Her's isn't bad persay, I just don't think her's is as streamlined as it could be.
