Best Puppy Pile deck build in Pokemon TCGP
Puppy Pile in Pokemon TCG Pocket is a mechanic wherein every card in your hand and board with that attack all add to each other's power. Here's how to make the best Puppy Pile deck possible:
- Magby x2
- Growlithe x2
- Rockruff x2
- Fidough x2
- Yamper x2
- Poke Ball x2
- Flame Patch x2
- Professor's Research x2
- Cyrus x1
- Copycat x1
- Puppy-Loving Girl x1
- Bounded Field x1
Energy: Fire
This is a deck where you want to get an early advantage and come out swinging, as none of your cards have the durability to survive more than one moderately powerful attack. For that reason, the best opening draw is Magby, who can then empower your cards on the Bench so you can quickly get them out for a second-turn strike. At that point, you want to keep up the offense and stop your opponents from building any coherent strategy.
Fortunately, Fire Energy means that power can keep being circulated, with Flame Patch and Magby both aiding in this. And more interestingly, this is a deck that can exploit the weaknesses of countless other decks, as you have four different types of attack from the different Puppy Pile decks, while Bounded Field massively increases the damage of those weakness exploits. With a hand full of Puppies and a type advantage, you can potentially do 300+ damage in a single attack.
- Pros
- Huge damage potential
- Can exploit a vast array of weaknesses
- Cons
- Incredibly low durability
- Wholly dependant on you being faster than your opponent
