This deck’s strategy is to run the opponent out of Energy cards entirely. 4/4 Energy Removal & Super Energy Removal team up with Blaine’s Charmander’s Kindle to remove as much Energy as possible, while Pokémon Tower prevents Recycle Energy from returning from the discard pile. Parasect serves as a way to block attacks like Rocket’s Zapdos’s Plasma and Pokémon Powers like Typhlosion’s Fire Recharge from recovering these lost Energy cards.
Tip: Don’t evolve Blaine’s Charmander just because you can. Many times, you’re better off keeping Charmander in play for its Kindle attack.
Errata: Roaring Flames should discard Fire Energy cards, not Fighting. It also should only discard extra Fire Energy not used to pay for the attack cost. (Extra damage is calculated this way.)
