Hello pokemon zeo deck builders. I am josh and I was woundering if you could help me with my deck at this time it has no name but fill free to give it one. The strategy is to use venusaur pokepower and porygon 2's pokemon power to use Lucia's elemental blast every 2 turns. While heres the deck. I hope you can fix it i would really like it if you did.

Nova had this to say in response:

All right, Josh, I’m going to level with you on this one. I’ve been sitting here staring at your deck list for the past hour, and I have come up with a grand total of ONE suggestion. Here it is:

Cleffa

I hope you liked it, because it’s all I’ve got. You’re using frighteningly appropriate numbers for your pokemon (by which I mean that you’re using just the right pokemon, in just the right ratio), you’re using exactly the right trainers, and your energy looks tip-top to me. I commented to Gloom that this deck looks almost exactly like one of us had built it. It’s exactly right in every way.

Something can’t be quite right, though, because you wrote in the deck for a reason. The only thing that I can say is that if the deck isn’t working, then it’s probably more because of a faulty principle, rather than faulty deck-building. It’s unfortunate, but Genesis Lugia just doesn’t cut it as an overly useful pokemon. Now, as I’ve already said, if I were to try to use lugia anyway, I would do it almost exactly as you have done it here, and seriously, good work for that. Your deck-building skills seem to be top-notch. I’d suggest picking another pokemon and throwing yourself at that one.

Until then, though, the only thing that can even remotely stand to be removed from this deck is energy, so I will remove a fire, water, and grass, and replace them with three cleffa.

Sadly, since I have no other suggestions, I’m forced to leave it at that, I bid you good day, and good luck with your other decks!
