I wish to specify earlier than I get into this text how annoying this deck was to determine on, as between all three of the Johto legendary cats that had been added within the latest Secluded Springs enlargement, Raikou ex looks like essentially the most ineffective and pointless one of all of them.
I’m not saying it’s terrible, however when you’ve a card that wants two Electrical-type power to assault and solely offers 60 harm, whereas dealing an extra 10 harm to the backline, it actually isn’t going to be a mainstay or a purpose to make a deck except you’re a hardcore Raikou person.
I wish to say that with this decklist, I took some inventive liberties and determined to create what I think about to be a troll deck, designed to annoy gamers who use it. So have enjoyable understanding that.

That’s proper. I’ve mixed Oricorio and Raikou to create a deck designed to close down all ex gamers whereas additionally using Raikou ex to deal some harm or chip away at a Pokémon that escapes into the backline. The Pikachu ex is fairly elective, and I added it in there for enjoyable, however I really feel there’s something higher you should use as a substitute.
I thought of taking out the Pikachu ex and purely making this a stuffed with Raikou ex Oricorio troll deck, but it surely felt prefer it missed one thing, and utilizing Tapu Koko ex or some other Electrical-type card wasn’t working. Even having a Pichu so as to add Electrical-type power to the backline felt fairly pointless, as you’ll be able to stall fairly properly anyway with the fowl up entrance.
Ideally, in case you pull a Raikou ex, you should use its means to maintain drawing additional playing cards till you’ve every little thing it’s good to make your opponent’s life utterly depressing. However please let me know within the feedback if anybody else has considered one thing higher than my small mind may give you.
As for now, I’ll go and play some casuals with this and perhaps come again to it sooner or later if I can work out one thing higher.
