Nidoqueen & Nidoking Deck - Pros / Cons

Fun Deck That Can Deal 180 Damage Without Using Ex Cards
The Deck Tends to Have a Lot of Fixed Slots
Unable to Set Up Due to a Lack of Energy

Fun Deck That Can Deal 180 Damage Without Using EX Cards

Nidoqueen has an attack whose damage increases by the number of Nidokings on your Bench. If you have two of them on the bench, you can do an exceptional 180 damage in Single-Prize, and even one on the bench can reach 130 damage that can defeat Mewtwo ex including weakness.

Most of the Frames in the Deck Are Fixed Cards

The biggest weakness of this deck is that it uses two types of Stage 2 Pokemon. If you use the maximum number of Nidoqueen and Nidoking types, they will occupy as many as 12 cards in your deck.It is quite troublesome that the accident rate is high and Nidoqueen cannot produce firepower unless both are evolved.

Growth Cannot Be Done in Time Due to Lack of Energy

Another weakness of this deck is the weight of the required Energy numbers. Both Nidoqueen and Nidoking require 3 Energy to attack, but this deck has no means of Energy Acceleration, and it takes a considerable amount of time to develop a second attacker.

Nidoqueen & Nidoking Deck Strategy

Use Nidoran♀'s Attack early on
Train both Nidoran types on the Bench
Fight with Nidoqueen in the late game

Use Nidoran♀'s Attack early on

Early on, aim to use Nidoran♀'s Attack "Call for Friends" to place Nidoran♂ on the Bench. If you can't start with Nidoran♀ or if it might get knocked out by the opponent's attack, bring out Snorlax to the Active Spot as a wall.

Train both Nidoran types on the Bench

While stalling with Snorlax, evolve Nidoran♀ and Nidoran♂ that you placed on the Bench. Try to gather Energy mainly on Nidoran♀, and if you have spare Energy, attach it to Nidoran♂ as well.

Fight with Nidoqueen in the late game

Once Snorlax is knocked out, bring out Nidoqueen to the Active Spot and attack with "Lovestrike." Sometimes, Nidoqueen alone might not secure the win, so also prepare Nidoking for backup.
