Lt. Surge Deck - Pros / Cons

Lt. Surge and Magneton Combo is Powerful
Hard to Lose as It Consists of Non-EX Pokemon
Having Many Evolution Paths Makes It Unreliable

Lt. Surge and Magneton Combo is Powerful

A powerful combo is to instantly activate Raichu or Electrode with Lt. Surge using Energy attached to yourself with Magneton's ability. Be aware of the number of energies in the entire place.

Please Note that Lt. Surge Does Not Target Magneton

Only Raichu, Electrode, and Electabuzz can be replaced with energy in Lt. Surge. Please note that you cannot replace Energy with Magneton.

It's Hard to Lose Because It Only Consists of Non-EX Pokemon

Since the Pokemon in the Lt. Surge deck are only Non-EX , the points taken when Knocked Out are 1 point each. Even if two Pokemon are defeated, you still won't lose, so you can fight until the end without giving up.

Having Many Evolution Paths Makes It Unreliable

The main attackers in Lt. Surge's deck are evolved Pokemon like Raichu and Electrode. Therefore, keep in mind that there may be situations where you get knocked out because you can't draw their evolved Pokemon counterparts.

Lt. Surge Deck Strategy

Use Pikachu or Voltorb in early rounds
Aim for consecutive 140 damage with Raichu

In the early game, fight with Pikachu or Voltorb

All Basic Pokemon in the deck have "HP 60 and Attack damage 20". No matter which one you play, the early game won't change much, but since Magneton energy supply becomes the lifeline, try to start with Magnemite on the Bench.

Aim for consecutive 140 damage with Raichu

When you have two Magneton in play, using Lt. Surge along with Attach Energy from Zone allows you to attach 3 Energy in a single turn. Use Raichu's attack to continuously knock out the opponent's Pokemon.

The order of using Supporters is crucial

Since the deck contains 7 Supporter cards, it’s crucial to decide which Supporter to use each turn. Even in seemingly favorable situations, you need to consider using Sabrina to further disrupt the opponent.

Alternative Cards

Card	Explanation
	Electabuzz - Additional Basic Pokemon slot - Can serve as an Energy transfer target for Lt. Surge - It can deal 80 damage as a Basic Pokemon, making it a reliable backup attacker in crucial moments
	Cinccino - A candidate for use when your hand is lacking - Only requires 1 retreat Energy, making it easy to leave on the board after attacking
	Pincurchin - Additional Basic Pokemon slot - It can create a chance to turn the game around with Paralysis during tough moments
