Garchomp & Cynthia Deck - Pros / Cons

Garchomp deals 150 damage with Cynthia
Garchomp’s Ability helps draw Cynthia
Energy imbalance can be an issue

Garchomp Deals 150 Damage with Cynthia

This deck uses Druddigon as a wall while setting up Garchomp on the Bench. Garchomp’s attack normally deals 100 damage with 2 Energy, but playing Cynthia boosts it to a maximum of 150 damage.

Garchomp’s Ability Helps Draw Cynthia

Garchomp’s Ability lets you discard a card once per turn to draw one from your deck. This increases the chances of drawing essential cards like Cynthia, making the deck more consistent.

Energy Imbalance Can be an Issue

Since this deck runs two types of Energy, an imbalance could prevent smooth attacks. Keep an eye on your Energy Zone and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Garchomp & Cynthia Deck Strategy

Set up a wall and evolve to Garchomp
Attack using Marshadow
Use Garchomp to draw Cynthia

Set Up a Wall and Evolve to Garchomp

In the early game, use Druddigon or a second Gible as a wall while evolving Garchomp on the Bench. If you reach Gabite by turn 2 and can attack, feel free to evolve on the Active Spot.

Attack Using Marshadow

If Druddigon is knocked out, use Marshadow to gain points. From there, use Garchomp and Marshadow together to defeat the opponent's remaining Pokemon.

Use Garchomp to Draw Cynthia

Once you evolve to Garchomp, use its Ability to draw Cynthia into your hand. This will enable Garchomp to deal 150 damage, allowing you to knock out almost any opponent.
