Empoleon Deck - Pros / Cons

Utilize Empoleon’s Bench Damage
Weak start before Empoleon evolves
Struggles Against High-Damage Pokemon

Utilize Empoleon’s Bench Damage

The strength of an Empoleon deck lies in utilizing Empoleon's attack, which deals 80 damage to the Active Spot and 30 to the Bench. Since the deck struggles to deal damage early on, maximizing Empoleon's attack opportunities is crucial.

Weak Start Before Empoleon Evolves

This deck struggles to deal damage before Empoleon is fully evolved, making it vulnerable to fast-paced decks. In the current environment, the only way to keep up is through strats like using Palkia ex + Misty. It may also be worth considering using Starmie ex to address this weakness.

Struggles Against High-Damage Pokemon

This deck struggles against high-HP, high-damage attackers due to its low-damage output. You may have a chance by looking for opportunities to use Cyrus to pull in Pokemon with high retreat costs and try to secure 3 points in one decisive play.
