Notes & Combos

An actually pretty consistent deck in comparison to the dugtrio and marowak ex variants since the deck itself doesn't rely on any coin flipping from your side to win. Especially strong when going second since mankey can easily damage itself and evolve early for a cheap 100 damage (one-shot on Pikachu Ex because of it's weakness) and machoke can attack in every single stage of its evolution when being your first active pokemon going second. When going first, mankey is generally the better option because enemies tend to avoit hitting it if they don't have any way of one-shotting it, giving you more turns to setup your big and buff stage 2
