Brock Deck - Pros / Cons

Golem's Attack is Powerful
Energy Acceleration is Possible with Brock
It will be Tough If Geodude Appears First

Golem's Attack is Powerful

Golem has an 150 damage move, which impressive for a Single-Prize type Pokemon. It's particularly powerful because it can one-hit KO most basic and Stage 1 Pokemon ex.

Be Careful as There Are Also Major Disadvantages

Golem's attack also reduces its own HP by 50 each time it is used. With an original HP of 160, a single hit won't cause fatal damage, but you need to carefully consider the risks and rewards when using it.

Energy Acceleration is Possible With Brock

Brock can use Energy Acceleration on Golem, so it can speed up the turn to use Attack. Please note that it cannot be used in Geodude or Graveler state.

It will be Tough If Geodude Appears First

Geodude requires 2 retreat Energy, and its evolved form, Graveler, needs 3 Energy for its Attack. Even if you evolve it quickly, you may not be able to use its Attack right away. It is crucial to evolve Geodude on the Bench as much as possible.

Brock Deck Strategy

Grow Geodude on the Bench
Attach 2 Energy to Graveler
Rely on Dugtrio against opponents focused on Single-Prize

Evolve Geodude On The Bench

Start by evolving Geodude to Golem on the Bench. It would be troublesome if Sabrina brings it out, so try to have other Pokemon ready on the Bench besides Geodude to prevent this.

Attach 2 Energy to Graveler

Once Graveler has 2 Energy attached, you can evolve it into Golem next turn. With Attach Energy from Zone and Brock, you’ll be able to use the Attack. Since only one Supporter can be used per turn, if you have Sabrina, consider using it beforehand.

Rely On Dugtrio Against Opponents Focused On Single-Prize

If your opponent focuses on Single-Prize, it’s nearly impossible to score 3 points with Golem, so you’ll need to earn points with other Pokemon. In that case, focus your attack on Dugtrio, which can negate the opponent’s attacks. You can also use Hitmonlee to take out any escaped opponents.

Alternative Cards

Card	Description
	Kangaskhan - Substitute for Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee - High HP of 100 makes up for the difficulty in retreating
	Sandslash - Alternative for Dugtrio - High attack damage is effective in decks focused on Single-Prize Pokemon
	Primeape - Substitute for Dugtrio - Deals 100 damage with only 2 Energy if conditions are met - Retreat cost of only 1 Energy is a great advantage
	Onix - Works well with Brock - Can attack as early as turn 2 when combined with Brock
