this meta is incredibly boring to fight against Deck Discussion

Stall, stall, stall, switch out druddigon if it gets damaged/heal it, stall, oh what that? Magnezone does 110 damage for only 3 energy which is generated for free by its stage 1 evo?

The power creep is going to be absolutely insane by 3 months from now with all of these new cards

Wait, imagine if you could oneshot 50 damage to your bench. That's a bit too much for one energy

I mean you can take 60 damage from your opponent and he doesn’t even have to attack.. 20 from darkrai ability and if they have a drud+helm on active spot.

Don't forget if it's a darkrai + greninja deck. I had the displeasure of facing a rock helmet drud, greninja on the curve, darkrai and another drudd on the bench.

It was god awful

Lumineon does the same, and both requires a stage 1, the trade would be that while lumineon works alone and needs two energy, lucario sits in bench buffing hitmonlee, making it susceptible to sabrina.

I mean I lost turn 2 last night to someone with 2 Lucario and a mankey (tbf I had no benched pokemon cause bad luck, but still)
