Overview
Overview
Arceus Darkrai is a fast ramp deck that focuses on accelerating Arceus or Darkrai as quickly as possible using Baby Pokemon that generate energy, whether it's Pichu, Magby, or Mantyke. The Baby Pokemon also have no retreat cost, making it easy to switch to those attackers at will. It is sometimes accompanied by techs such as Komala to deal with Oricorio. It doesn't matter which energy type you draw because Arceus uses a neutral energy attack. As for Darkrai, you only need 2 Dark energy.
Primary Win Condition
The list focuses on running Dark energy to attack with Darkrai and use its ability. The plan is to open with any of the Baby Pokemon to provide energy for any of your attackers.
Insanely fast ramping, letting you attack by turn 2 most of the time, making it hard for your opponent to retaliate.
Excels against decks that cannot survive early high damage or take time to set up their gameplan.
