Weekly post to discuss what decks people are having luck climbing with!
I started this season using a type: null / rampardos deck which is pretty good. Having to go through 3 Pokémon is tough and type:null starts are always pretty good although going turn 1 can be awkward.
I ended up switching to Buzzwole after finding out you can get around the Big Beat drawback by retreating to the bench and sending back out which isn’t too hard to do with Celesteela’s ability. Have had a lot more success with this deck.
Seen some new Solgaleo decks and some charizard/type null decks that seem decent but inconsistent.
Oh what are the adjustments you’ve seen to Solgaleo? I’m mostly still pulling on Shining Revelry because I still want the rainbow rare Pikachu EX haha.
I swapped my skarmory for morelull & shiinotic. It works very well

Like reef said I’ve been seeing shiinotic used in the decks. Haven’t played it enough to know how good it does compared to other decks.
It’s the only meta deck I’ve got 😅 it can usually set up before other decks due to the low energy requirement but with an unlucky start vs a lucky opponent you can be punished pretty hard before set up lol currently just got into ultra ball going to keep pushing hopefully! Alotta lvl 50s with pretty cards out there lol
Not really related to climbing in comp specifically, though it might end up there eventually-
I just started building a meme deck with Aerodactyl and Bewear. It can’t do any damage and you win by OHKO or shuffling the opposing pokemon back in the deck. I haven’t taken it online yet but it’s been funny replaying PVE battles with it.
When I saw the Bewear card I felt like it could be pretty good since (theoretically) it’s a OHKO 25% of the time, pairing with Aerodactyl is probably smart since you can also stall then.
