Overview
Overview
Fast-start Fighting deck built to smash threats early. Donphan ex evolves quickly from Phanpy and can attack for just 1 Fighting Energy with Gigantic Press (50 damage), scaling to 110 with three total Energy—letting you maintain pressure across the game. Rampardos comes in as a late-game finisher with massive Head Smash damage. Energy is primarily stacked on Donphan ex early, shifting to Rampardos when needed.
Primary Win Condition
Always start with Phanpy because it’s the only Basic, letting you deal damage right away and evolve into Donphan ex for more damage. Rampardos serves as your backup damage dealer.
Fast initial damage, looking to one-shot non-EX Basics right away.
Dominates slower or evolution decks—especially those weak to Fighting—since they can be knocked out early before setting up.
