Porydonk


Porygon2 and Drifblim

Types used

Major cards	Porygon2, Drifblim, Seeker

Era	Unlimited

Porydonk is a deck archetype in the Pokémon Trading Card Game based around the cards Porygon2, Drifblim, and Seeker. It only sees use in the Unlimited format.

History

Until the release of Seeker in Triumphant, Porydonk was pretty much impossible.

Strategy

Seeker

The objective of this deck is to win on the first turn using a combination of Porygon2, Drifblim and Seeker.

The player uses Porygon2's Poké-POWER Download to discard a Seeker, targeting itself in the process. This forces the opponent to send back a Benched Pokémon back in its hand. Porygon2 can be played right back thanks to Broken Time Space, and the process can be repeated.

Drifblim then takes care of the Defending Pokémon with Take Away, leaving no Pokémon on the opponent's field.

Cards

Key cards

Porygon2
Drifblim
Uxie - Uxie gives major draw power for Porydonk; it's Set Up Poké-Power allows the player to draw cards until they have seven cards in their hand.
Seeker
Professor Oak - Essentially a souped-up Set Up
Broken Time-Space - Allows the player to evolve its Pokémon on the same turn they are played; this is needed to evolve on the first turn, and to play several Seeker in a row with Porygon2.

Other Pokémon

Azelf - Allows the player to get any Pokémon from its Prize cards. It has a good synergy with Rattata, allowing the player to get the Prize card of its choice on top of his deck using Trickery.
Regice - Counters a Spiritomb start, if the opponent has another Pokémon on its Bench.

Other Trainers/Supporters/Stadiums

Pokémon Collector - Used to get several Basic Pokémon into the player's hand. Also gives better odds to get a Regice against a Spiritomb start.

Energy cards

Boost Energy - For Drifblim's Take Away attack.
