Vaporeon Deck - Pros / Cons

Recycle Attached Water Energy

Vaporeon's strength is that it can freely transfer your water energy from benched Pokemon to the active spot. This effectively allows you to move water energy from your retreated Pokemon into your new active Pokemon.

Reduce retreat costs as much as possible

To effectively utilize Vaporeon's ability, you want to spend as little energy as possible during your retreats. Starmie ex is a fantastic candidate due to its 0 cost retreat.

You could also opt to use Support cards like X Speed or Leaf to further reduce your retreat costs.

Can Utilize Misty

By attaching Water Energy with Misty, you can accelerate your attacks. Even on the very first turn, you can attack if you attach energy using Misty.

Cannot OHKO Pokemon Ex

The Pokemon included in this deck can only deal a maximum of 90 damage per attack, so most Pokemon ex will require at least two turns to knock out. If you can't accelerate energy using Misty, you might have some difficulties against fast decks.

Vaporeon Deck Strategy

Quickly Attack with Starmie ex

1. 
2. 
3. 

Focus on attacking as quickly as you can with Starmie ex in the early game. If you have Misty in your hand, use her Energy Acceleration to attack with Articuno ex.

Beware of Lightning Energy

After the coin flip at the start of the game, check the opponent's Energy. If Lightning Energy is visible, avoid placing Staryu in the Active Spot as it risks being One-Hit KO’d by Pokemon like Pikachu or Joltik.

Utilize Vaporeon's Ability for Energy

1. 
2. 
3. 

If Starmie ex is about to be knocked out, retreat to the Bench and use Vaporeon's Ability to transfer Energy to the Active Pokemon. This eliminates delays in attaching Energy, enabling consecutive powerful Attacks.

Always Maintain 2 Energy In Reserve

Since this deck's Pokemon can utilize all their Attacks with 3 Energy, having 2 Energy in reserve on the Bench allows immediate attacks using Vaporeon’s Ability combined with Energy from the Energy Zone. Aim to consistently keep 2 Energy on the Bench for optimal performance.
