Since I go to league and a lot of people I face tend to be either younger kids or generally less experienced players, I felt it necessary to build a slower deck to knock the difficulty down a notch.

Deck List:

Spoiler:

4-Pikachu(HGSS Promo)
4-Raichu(HGSS)
3-Zekrom
2-2-Eelektrik
2-2-Cincinno(B/W)
1-Cleffa

12-Electric Energy
4-DCE

4-Pokemon Collector
2-PONT
2-Cheren
1-Pofessor Elm
1-Juniper
1-Sage's Training
1-Fisherman

4-Junk Arm
3-Pokemon Communication
2-Pokemon Catcher
1-Revive
1-Max Potion
1-Energy Retrieval

So, yeah. Raichu is the main attacker of this deck, which I personally find to be a fun card. With Eelektrik's ability and some T/S support, Raichu should ideally be attacking for 100, then next turn a benched Raichu should receive one of the discarded energies through Eelektrik's effect, then attach an energy, retreat into it and attack for 100 again. Rinse and repeat.

Thoughts?

Maybe drop in a single Raichu Prime for some extra oomph if necessary. It does take longer to charge up, though. I personally think it's quite fun.

Indeed. However, that would require me to obtain a Raichu Prime. Nobody ever has them. Ever. The last time I saw one was when I pulled one a few months ago, then I traded it and haven't seen any of them in ever.

I didn't know they were that hard to come by for you, haha. I think I have 3 of them. You would probably wanna add Pachirisu from CoL if you did add it, though.

Yes but then you have to put all the energies attached to Pachurisu in the lost zone. I pulled that one out of my new Samurott tin yesterday.

He doesn't mean I should attack with Pachirisu, but use Pachirisu's Poke-Power to attach the energies to Pachirisu, then use Raichu Prime's Poke-Body to steal Pachi's energies for its attack.

Which I still don't see a lot of people with Pachirisu willing to trade them, but I would sure love to have 2 or 3 of them for fun deck purposes.

I only have 2 or 3, myself, haha. And yes, I did mean for its PokePower.
