TOP 4! New Zealand Special Event 🇳🇿 Discovered Identical 60 from a random City League resulting in many dubs during the last two months. Only match loses to eventual winner @aierala! Decklist could have taken it all down shame I have a habit of tossing away game in hand 🤪

@kevcastle_10 @aierala Awesome to hear! Hope you can continue to have fun and find success with the list!

@Jay_SupreMeme @aierala Thank you for the list. Switched iron leaves for baby raging bolt and I got 1st in a league challenge tonight out of 17

I don’t think I’ve seen event photos that can top these. Cheers to the bois who made New Zealand Special Event one to remember 😘

@lfdasilva @aierala Blind Second, based on what I hit I wouldn’t change a card. But if you want better match up coverage I recommend slitherwing for a ultra ball and if you like some sort of disruption cutting a Lillie’s for Iono is fine.

@Jay_SupreMeme @aierala Congrats on the result!! It’s awesome to see Bolt back in action without Owls. Do you usually blind go first or second? And after your experience with the deck, would you make any changes to the list?

@bedrounzo @aierala Slitherwing is a real consideration, baby bolt is actually not that useful for the decks game plan as much as it feels like a staple for ragingbolt. I’d recommend dropping a ultra ball if you do want to play slitherwing.

@Jay_SupreMeme @aierala No Baby Bolt or Slither Wing to net favorable trades or bench snipe? I'm liking the list otherwise

@kaho494 @aierala With teal mask and sandy shocks you should be fine late game. When paired with sandy shocks tho it feels so good also when you can eswitch the energy around.

@Jay_SupreMeme @aierala thanks for the answer, and you're never missing it end game?

@samsonxp_ @aierala I personally blind second with this deck, but you can go either it doesn’t really matter too much. Budew is a back pocket play for sure but you’ll essentially use it every game into gholdengo and gardy.

@Jay_SupreMeme @aierala is Budew for matchups where you have to go second? or just backpocket itchy pollen

@nova_tcg89 @LyricOfWisdom @aierala Reading this made me laugh! Haha

@kaho494 @aierala Yea that was the other city league list I saw, sada is almost completely useless early whilst you generally want eswitch, cirspin or double eswitch for first turn torrential pump which is surprising consistent when you Lillie’s and squawk.

@Jay_SupreMeme @aierala congratsss I've seen a similar list with 3 Lillie's and 3 sada, is 4 Lillie's 2 sada really that better?

@LiberoHS Straight facts bb

“I don’t prize check unless I need it for a play”

@LyricOfWisdom @aierala Gardy on the other hand you prefer to budew until it either dies or they bench kirlia building a cracked boardstate. 5 energy waterpon and two ragingbolt with an energy each is optimal before taking knockouts, leaving a water and fighting on the waterpon when you start to go agro

@Jay_SupreMeme @aierala Congrats on an awesome result! Is the plan vs Gardevoir and Dragapult is to double torrential pump? How do you get around itchy pollen??

@LyricOfWisdom @aierala Into dragapult you prefer to go 1-2-2-x taking the first knockout with torrential pump but not shuffling the energy in so you don’t get cooked from item lock. Priority is drakloaks if you can remove them all but Dusclops if you can’t.
