Singles from a card shop, 60 cards.

Main strategy

Build your Murkrow and Porygon board early, then use Team Rocket's Supporters to disrupt your opponent and fill your hand. Discard those Supporters with Honchkrow's Rocket Feathers to deal 60 damage for each one discarded. Later, use Porygon2 to get extra value from the Supporters you've discarded.

Remember this: Build your board → collect Rocket Supporters → Rocket Feathers for huge damage → Porygon2 for the late game.

Your game set up

Turn 1: Get Team Rocket's Murkrow and Porygon onto the field. Use Proton and other Team Rocket Supporters to develop your board. Turn 2: Evolve into Honchkrow and start building a hand full of Team Rocket Supporters. Turn 3+: Discard several Supporters with Rocket Feathers to hit for 180–300+ damage, then use Porygon2 to help finish the game.

Combos that make it powerful

  • Honchkrow + Team Rocket Supporters = every discarded Supporter adds 60 damage.
  • Team Rocket's Transceiver + Roto Stick = consistently find the Supporters you need.
  • Team Rocket's Factory + Porygon2 = helps the deck keep generating value throughout the game.

Pros

  • Can one hit KO huge Pokémon with one attack
  • Single-Prize attackers trade very well into ex/Mega decks
  • Strong disruption from Team Rocket Supporters

Cons

  • You need to manage your Supporters carefully
  • Hand disruption can make it difficult to keep enough Supporters available

Beats these decks

  • Ex/Mega-heavy decks
  • Slower setup decks

Watch out for
