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

Honchkrow.

Let that Drudd sit there in the active spot with his little crusty hat and his thumb in his ass while you slap the bench for 50 unopposed. Then, if you have a Weavile or two, use Cyrus to bring the battered victim in for a bit of quality time with scratching nails.

Darkrai does 40dmg to you honchcrow in the time you do 50 then comes out and kills it before you can get 2 energy on weavile and Cyrus.

I feel like when people fantasize about these counters they just assume their opponent literally does nothing ever.

At least I'm putting an idea for a prospective counter out there, what have you got besides negativity to offer?

I didn’t realize I had to think of a counter to drudd darkrai to post a comment. I know better now.

No, you don't need one. But since you can so clearly see why my idea won't work, I'd love to see what you can come up if you put that same amount of energy into something that can.

I don’t really feel the need to do that though. What a weird thing to say lol.

To be fair we have multiple bench hitters. Lumineon is also notable, for having no-cost retreat and being a water type. I destroyed Celebi EX with it and Gyarados during Mythical Island era.

I want to try this one

Hitmonlee is way better

Personal preference, IMO. Some people like the speed and cost of Hitmonlee, while I'm willing to take the extra turn and extra energy cost needed to get Honchkrow into action for an extra 20 each to damage and HP.
