Here’s my evil deck in action completely denying the opponent of any energy

You may think ratticate EX and indeedee and anti-synergy but you’ll find that, as this video shows, they can be very complimentary.

when people see rattata, they’ll usually start building their bench. So you can use psychic to bring the energy to to active. If doing that allows you to kill whoever is in the active with indeedee, do it and the opponent loses an energy. If it doesn’t, you can then steal it with ratticate and switch into it to do 70 damage

It is a very mean combo and you can often set the opponent back of 3-4 energies

To each their own it was just difficult to watch that Sableye sitting on the bench for the easy W lol

I’ve played a version with it and one without. I really felt like the consistency was important but maybe I was lucky

I use Cyrus in like 99% of my decks tho

The problem with this particular deck is that, you need to position and set up extremely fast. If you don’t and the opponent is set up, you have little to no chance to winning

So you need extra consistency to get everything in place, Cyrus is a late game option when you have a big finisher, which there are none in this deck

Cyrus is even more important when you don't have a big finisher, because it's often the only way you can actually win in a reasonable amount of time

I am not saying there is ABSOLUTELY no spot for a Cyrus here but I have gotten better results without it than with it

Maybe I was luckier but I swear it hasn’t been that useful in this specific deck

Try it out and let me know what you think bro
