Strategy Guide

Auto-generated

Meowscarada is a Stage 2 grass attacker that hits 130 damage against ex Pokemon with Fighting Claws, creating a powerful point-scoring threat against the ex-heavy meta. The deck aims to set up Meowscarada quickly via Rare Candy and punish opponents who rely on ex attackers.

Open by placing Sprigatito with Poke Ball and loading grass energy. Sprigatito's Cry for Help puts a random grass Pokemon from your deck into your hand, helping assemble the line. Professor's Research fills your hand with additional pieces including Rare Candy and Meowscarada. In the mid-game, Pheromosa can pressure the bench with Jump Blues while you complete your Stage 2 line. Once Meowscarada is active, Fighting Claws at 130 damage against ex targets scores 2 points per knockout, closing games quickly when opponents rely on ex attackers. Leaf Cape raises Meowscarada's effective HP by 30, and Erika heals 50 damage from one of your grass Pokemon to extend its lifespan.

Damage Math

ex Pokemon

base 60 + ex bonus 70 = 130

Fighting Claws against any ex Active Pokemon

Strengths

  • 130 damage against ex Pokemon scores 2 points per KO, punishing ex-heavy decks efficiently.
  • Rare Candy lets Sprigatito skip Floragato into Meowscarada, accelerating the Stage 2 setup.
  • 60 damage against non-ex targets still threatens most low-HP basics and Stage 1s.

Weaknesses

  • Stage 2 setup requires Rare Candy or multiple draw turns; a slow hand leaves you without an attacker.Consistency
  • Against non-ex decks Fighting Claws drops to 60 damage, which is insufficient to trade favorably.Matchup
  • Skeledirge, Toxapex, and Sceptile matchups are heavily unfavorable, suggesting type or HP vulnerabilities.Matchup

How to Play

Rush a Rare Candy Evolution

Use Poke Ball to grab Sprigatito on turn 1, then use Sprigatito's Cry for Help or Professor's Research to find Rare Candy and Meowscarada. Skipping Floragato entirely saves a full turn and lets you threaten Fighting Claws before opponents stabilize their own attacker.

Target ex Attackers for Double Points

Identify the opponent's ex attacker and keep Meowscarada active to fire Fighting Claws for 130 every turn. Each ex knockout scores 2 points, so two ex KOs end the game. Cyrus pulls a damaged benched ex into the Active Spot to accelerate your point lead.

Shield Meowscarada with Item Tools

Attach Leaf Cape to raise Meowscarada's effective HP by 30 and use Lucky Ice Pop to heal 20 chip damage from your Active. Fragrant Forest lets each player put a random Basic grass Pokemon from their deck into their hand once per turn. These layers let a single Meowscarada trade through multiple attacks without getting knocked out.

How to Beat This Deck

Disrupt the Stage 2 Setup

Meowscarada is a Stage 2 and cannot function without Rare Candy or a clean evolution sequence. Applying early pressure with fast basics forces the opponent to retreat Sprigatito or stall evolution by one to two turns, often deciding the match before Meowscarada is online.

Run Non-ex Attackers

Fighting Claws deals only 60 damage against non-ex targets. Decks built around high-HP non-ex Stage 2 attackers can take hits and fire back without gifting the opponent the 2-point ex knockout bonus, turning the math entirely against Meowscarada.

Exploit Unfavorable Type Matchups

Skeledirge and Sceptile both hold win rates of 70-75% against this deck. Bringing a fire or grass-type counter removes Meowscarada's offensive threat before it can score enough points to matter.

Common Substitutions

Bench pressure / filler attacker

  • Pheromosa:Fast basic that deals 20 to the Active and 20 to a benched Pokemon while the Stage 2 line develops.
