Overview
Overview
is a control-focused deck that combines Greninja's consistent chip damage with Oricorio's EX-blocking wall strategy. Greninja's Water Shuriken ability provides 20 damage to any Pokemon each turn while Oricorio's Safeguard completely negates EX Pokemon attacks. The deck excels at stalling EX-heavy strategies while gradually accumulating damage through passive abilities and strategic positioning. The deck primarily runs Lightning and Water energy to enable attacks for Oricorio and Greninja. The deck is exceptional in tournaments due to energy selection flexibility - you may sometimes run only Water energy if Oricorio isn't needed for the matchup.
