Centiskorch Deck - Pros / Cons

Centiskorch's 130 damage is powerful
Energy acceleration is possible with Moltres ex
High dependence on Moltres ex

Centiskorch's 130 Damage Is Powerful

The move "Fire Blast" from Centiskorch boasts impressive damage among non-ex Pokemon. With 130 damage, it can one-hit KO Stage 1 Pokemon and certain Pokemon ex.

Use Moltres ex Energy Acceleration

Utilizing Moltres ex enables energy acceleration, speeding up the turns required to use Centiskorch's attack. Centiskorch needs four energy to attack, but if you're going first, it can be activated by turn three; if going second, by turn two.

High Dependency On Moltres ex

Whether energy acceleration with Moltres ex is successful depends on the coin flip results, leading to variable stability. Moreover, if you can't draw Moltres ex, you are at a significant disadvantage.

Centiskorch Deck Strategy

Start by Using Moltres ex's Attack
Grow Centiskorch on the Bench
Attack with Centiskorch

Start by using Moltres ex's Attack

At the beginning, attach 1 Energy to Moltres ex and use Inferno Dance on the Bench to Sizzlipede for Energy Acceleration. If you're lucky with the coin flip and could attach 4 Energies to Sizzlipede early, it might be worth it to Attach Energy from Zone to Moltres ex and use Heat Blast.

Grow Centiskorch on the Bench

Once you've successfully accelerated Energy with Moltres ex, evolve Sizzlipede into Centiskorch. Keep in mind that Centiskorch has a retreat cost of 3 Energy, and if your opponent used Sabrina to send to the Active Spot without any Energy, it may be unable to act for a while.. Be careful about choosing the right time to evolve Sizzlipede.

Attack with Centiskorch

Once Centiskorch has 4 Energies, bring it to the Active Spot. Using its Attack will require discarding 1 Energy each time, but you can still keep attacking in turns by attaching Energy from the Zone.
