Win On The First Turn With Pecharunt!
Gaming
Introduction
Are you someone who enjoys winning on the first turn of a game? Do you relish the thought of your opponent not getting a chance to take a turn at all? If so, the Petron deck may just be what you’re looking for! Petron's special ability, Toxic Subjugation, can place five additional damage counters on your opponent's active Pokémon that is poisoned, making for some hilarious donk opportunities.
The Combo
To maximize Petron’s effectiveness, the deck utilizes Radiant Sneezer and Perilous Jungle to add even more damage. Radiant Sneezer can place two additional damage counters, and Perilous Jungle adds another two, allowing players to potentially deal a whopping 100 damage through poison alone. While Petron may not inflict much damage on its own, its ability becomes a lethal weapon when combined with these cards.
The attack, named Poison Chain, allows Petron to deal 10 damage and poison the opponent’s active, making it difficult for them to retreat. However, it's important to note that Petron alone may not carry the day, so to bolster its capabilities, the deck includes Oki Doi as a backup attacker.
Other Supporting Cards
Another critical support card is Brute Bonnet, which has an ability that can poison both active Pokémon when equipped with an Ancient Booster Capsule. This serves as a free way to inflict poison on the opponent, enhancing the potential damage dealt by Petron.
Additionally, the deck includes Squawk, which can help dig through the deck to get the necessary cards for a turn-one donk. I prefer using draw sources like Iono and Research to keep the momentum going rather than a full-Arvin engine, despite the abundance of tool cards in the deck.
Unique Strategies
One standout feature of Petron is that it can circumvent effects from cards like Phendipity and Gift Energy. If you knock out a Pokémon using your ability, these effects won't activate because the poison damage occurs during the checkup phase. This can create opportunities for sneaky plays that catch opponents off guard, especially if they rely on managing specific Pokémon.
Throughout my matches with this deck, I encountered varying success, often donking Pokémon like Charizard or setting my opponents behind on board state early in the game. Leveraging Petron in conjunction with the supporting cards can lead to hilarious victories, demonstrating the deck's entertaining potential.
Conclusion
Using Petron, one can achieve swift victories and leave opponents stunned by the damage stacking capabilities of poison. This deck plays around creating pressure and punishing opponents who rely on low HP Pokémon. Experimenting with different supporters like Stamp or Dangerous Laser could enhance this deck further. However, the current strategy already proves entertaining and effective as it stands.
