Venusaur ex Deck - Pros / Cons

Plenty of HP Recovery Options Like Erika
Powerful Attack Options with Venusaur ex
Higher Chance of Missing Evolution Cards

Abundant HP Recovery Options with Erika

One of the strengths of the Venusaur ex deck is the variety of HP recovery options, including Potion, Erika, and Venusaur ex’s Giant Bloom move. With Venusaur ex’s high 190 HP, you can easily take it into a war of attrition.

Powerful Attacks with Venusaur ex

Venusaur ex has a solid set of attacks, with Attack No.1 dealing 60 damage for 3 Energy and Attack No.2 dealing 100 damage for 4 Energy. Attack No.2, Giant Bloom, is especially powerful as it also provides HP recovery.

Lilligant’s Attack for Energy Acceleration

Lilligant’s Leaf Supply allows for Energy Acceleration to Grass-type Pokémon on the Bench. If you use Lilligant to accelerate Venusaur ex, it can start hitting with 100-damage attacks early on.

Higher Chance of Missing Evolution Cards

Venusaur ex is a Stage 2 Pokémon, which means you’ll need to draw Evolution Pokémon cards. The deck’s main weakness is the risk of being Knocked Out before you can evolve Ivysaur into Venusaur ex.

Venusaur ex Deck Strategy

Start the Game with Lilligant
Build Venusaur ex on the Bench
Use Venusaur ex's Giant Bloom in the Late Game

Start the Game with Lilligant

In the early game, attach 2 Energy to Lilligant and use its Attack to apply Energy Acceleration to Bulbasaur on the Bench. Until you can evolve into Lilligant, let Petilil tank as needed.

Build Venusaur ex on the Bench

When you draw Ivysaur or Venusaur ex, evolve Bulbasaur on the Bench. Adding Sabrina or other Pokémon for swap support is helpful to maintain stability.

Use Venusaur ex's Giant Bloom in the Late Game

Once Venusaur ex accumulates 4 Energy, move it to the Active Spot. Its Giant Bloom attack offers an added effect of restoring 30 HP, allowing for a more extended battle with support from Erika or Potion for additional HP recovery.

Alternative Cards

カード	解説
	Exeggutor ex - Excellent wall card that can attack early in the game - High HP aligns well with a durability-focused strategy
	Caterpie - Allows you to search for Grass Pokemon via its Attack, making it easier to gather evolution cards - Low HP makes it vulnerable
	Butterfree - Evolution card for Caterpie - Metapod also required, which takes up deck space - Ability allows recovery of overall HP from the Bench
	Venusaur - Serves as a durable card alternative to Venusaur ex - Though lower in max HP and Attack damage, healing capability remains the same
	Scyther - An additional Basic Pokemon option - Helpful card for the early game if your hand isn't ideal
	Pinsir - Another Basic Pokemon option - High damage potential of up to 100, albeit with coin flip dependence
	Meowth - An additional Basic Pokemon option - Attack aids in drawing cards - Helps assemble necessary cards, reducing the chance of bad hands
