This is a deck that I have been working on that I brought to the recent NAIC Switch Series Event and placed Very Highly. My only losses in the event coming from the eventual winning Psychic Deck, and 2 other Top 8 Water lists. I was able to take Games off of several Psychic decks and even a Wailord Water deck after I was able to KO the Big Wail TWICE in the same game! Love this list so lets talk a bit about it..... The Goal of this deck is to target down your opponent's pokemon in the order of YOUR choosing. Being able to focus on early support pokemon feels great in GLC and this deck has more than a few ways to Keep up and Pull ahead in the prize race by scooping up Multi-Prize turns. Margarco and Rapidash are the core support in the deck and with the combined ability to grab ANY card the turn you need it. Some people will like Salazzle over the Rapidash but with a low energy count in this build, you can't always count on having an energy to burn, so Rapidash makes the cut and I was surprised at how much I liked it, even on it's own. Chi-Yu and Gouging Fire are just some great Basic Attackers that work great at returning KOs when you need a cheap option. N's Darmanitian and Ninetales hit relevant support numbers and can also setup a bigger double KO later. It is also good to note that Ninetales PLACES damage counters so it can be used to get Bench Barriers out of the way. Blaziken feels amazing doing 120 and a 120 snipe, and we play plenty of ways to power it back up the following turn if they dont deal with it asap. We are running the double attack Torchic because TMs are the real deal. Double TM Devo feels like cheating and an end came Double Crisis punch has won me more than a few games! Skeledirge is my current answer to Wailord and hits our 260 damage ceiling....but there is some conversation about trimming the Dirge line to bring in Hex Maniac, TM Devo, and maybe Raihan. This deck is great at staying competitive and using Multi-Prize turns to pull away or steal a win. Give this deck a try and feel free to send me any feedback! I believe this is the BEST fire build hands down and may be a TOP contender at any event, but will be held down a bit by Big Water Propaganda.
