Best Mega Scizor ex deck build in Pokemon TCGP
This Mega Scizor ex deck uses Revravroom's free swap ability and some careful tools for the best impact.
- Varoom (Promo B or Shining Revelry) x2
- Revravroom (Mega Shine) x2
- Orthworm x1
- Scyther (Mega Shine) x2
- Mega Scizor ex x2
- Sabrina x1
- Cyrus x1
- Steel Apron x1
- Metal Core Barrier x2
- Copycat x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Professor's Research x2
Energy: Metal
The plan here is that you open with either Orthworm or Varoom if possible, quickly building up energy or setting up your board while putting energy on Scyther and Scizor on the bench. Then, once you're ready, Revravroom can freely swap Scizor in and out of the battlefield to keep making use of its Bullet Slugger attack with maximum damage. Tools like the Metal Core Barrier and the Steel Apron ensure a greater level of endurance than you'd normally get from a deck like this, while Sabrina and Cyrus give you a greater degree of control that allows you to target specific Pokemon.
If you want some ideas for variations, Skarmory is a good option to fold in for the early game, especially with the Tools involved. You can also add zero retreat costs energy generators like Pichu and Mantyke.
- Pros
- Scizor can one-shot most targets
- Orthworm and Varoom are strong early game cards
- Good durability deck
- Cons
- Scizor has somewhat high energy needs
- If Scyther is KO'd, you've probably lost
