This deck is unique because it combines niche cards such as Radiant Alakazam and rare finds like Brute Bonnet with effective staples like Dark Patch to accelerate Dark Energy and the versatile Gengar line. The inclusion of Pokémon League Headquarters and Technical Machines adds a layer of strategic depth not commonly found in many decks today. For a good opening hand, you'd want a mix that allows you to set up quickly; ideal cards might include Gastly, a Nest Ball or Ultra Ball for quick searching, an energy card, and a draw supporter like Professor’s Research or Iono. On your first turn, aim to get Gastly onto the field and start searching for more Pokémon or necessary items using Nest Ball or Ultra Ball. By the second turn, prioritize evolving Gastly into Haunter or directly into Gengar ex using Rare Candy, while setting up further support Pokémon like Bidoof and Bibarel for future turns. On turn three, continue to build up your bench, expand your energy acceleration with Dark Patch, and start launching attacks or disruptive tactics with Boss's Orders (Ghetsis) or Technical Machines. Giving this deck a Jank Score, I'd rank it around 283, due to its potential for creative plays but reliance on drawing specific cards at the right time. This deck would likely appeal to a player who enjoys quirky, off-meta strategies and delights in mixing underused cards with classic support, finding satisfaction in outthinking opponents through clever plays and unexpected moves.
This deck stands out due to its diverse array of Pokémon, including Radiant Charizard, Venomoth, and the unique inclusion of Dudunsparce alongside its evolution options. The diverse selection of Trainer cards such as Irida, Arezu, Colress's Experiment, and the varied balls (Ultra Ball, Nest Ball, Great Ball, Capturing Aroma) give it a unique flavor. For a good opening hand, you ideally want to see some combination of Nest Ball for early Pokémon search, Iono for draw power, Venonat to start setting up for Venomoth, and an Energy card to ensure an immediate offensive or defensive play. In your first three turns, aim to use Nest Ball to pull out Venonat and possibly Snorunt to start building your evolution lines. Use Iono or Youngster to draw more cards and keep momentum. Super Rod can help recycle critical pieces if they get discarded early. Depending on your hand, using Trainer cards like Irida can help fetch essential resources or Pokémon to keep up pressure. Artazon and Mesagoza can assist in retrieving necessary Pokémon or evolving them. Ensure an energy attachment each turn to prepare for future attacks, mainly focusing on Grass Energy for Venonat/Venomoth lines. The Jank Score for this deck would be around 750 due to its unconventional mix and reliance on evolutionary lines that may be harder to set up consistently. This deck is best suited for players who enjoy a blend of strategy and luck, especially those who take pleasure in navigating complex deck compositions and drawing power from unexpected card synergies.
The deck is unique due to the inclusion of various Pokémon cards such as Regidrago V, Regidrago VSTAR, and Hisuian Goodra VSTAR, which can create a versatile and dynamic gameplay. Additionally, Noivern ex and Raging Bolt ex add layers of strategic depth, allowing for varied attack strategies. The deck features a mix of Grass and Fire Energy, along with Energy Switches, which provides flexibility in powering up different Pokémon. The presence of support cards like Lumineon V and Cleffa helps establish a stable draw mechanism. For a good opening hand, you would want to see cards like Regidrago V to start setting up your main attacker, Nest Ball or Ultra Ball to fetch crucial Pokémon, Professor's Research for card draw, and a mix of Energy to start attaching to your Pokémon. In playing your first three turns, you should aim to get Regidrago V on the bench as soon as possible while using Nest Ball and Ultra Ball to fetch key Pokémon such as Lumineon V or Teal Mask Ogerpon ex. Use Professor's Research to cycle through your deck quickly and find necessary Energy cards and support items. Ensure you are attaching Energy each turn to prepare for a strong offensive by your third turn, ideally with a Regidrago VSTAR ready to attack. This deck would appeal to players who enjoy a blend of strategic setup and heavy-hitting attacks, appreciating the balance between powerful Pokémon and diverse support options. Giving this deck a Jank Score, I'd rank it around 525 out of 1000 because it combines interesting card choices but lacks a fully clear, straightforward powerhouse strategy, making it moderately janky but still functional and fun to play.
This deck is unique due to its combination of Maushold ex and support cards tailored to maximize its synergy, such as Buddy-Buddy Poffin and Feather Ball, allowing for quick access and set-up of key Pokémon like Tandemaus and Dunsparce. Radiant Jirachi adds an element of surprise and potential comeback power, while a variety of Special Energies like Double Turbo Energy, Jet Energy, Gift Energy, and Mist Energy provide versatile options for powering up attacks quickly. Additionally, cards like Arven and Iono help with consistent card draw and managing resources effectively.
For a good opening hand, you'd ideally want to see a mix of basics like Tandemaus and Dunsparce, along with a Feather Ball to search out Maushold ex or other essentials quickly. Having an Arven or Iono early on can also help streamline your draw engine.
In the first turn, you should focus on setting up your bench by playing and evolving Tandemaus into Maushold ex and potentially getting Dunsparce out. Utilize Feather Ball and Ultra Ball to search your deck for the needed Pokémon. On the second turn, continue to evolve and power up your Maushold ex while ensuring there's enough energy attached, facilitated by either Double Turbo Energy or Jet Energy. By the third turn, you should aim to have at least a couple of Maushold ex ready to attack while maintaining a stabilized board, using cards like Iono and Boss's Orders to disrupt your opponent and knock out key targets.
The Jank Score of this deck would be around 640 out of 1000, reflecting its potential for creative play and occasional unpredictability, though it may not always stand up to the most competitive and streamlined meta decks. This deck would appeal to a player who enjoys unique combinations, creating unexpected synergies, and potentially catching their opponent off guard with unconventional strategies while maintaining solid fundamentals.
This deck is unique due to its inclusion of Wiglett and Wugtrio as central elements, which are often perceived as unconventional choices that can surprise opponents. Cards that make a good opening hand include Bidoof, Wiglett, an Ultra Ball, and a supporter card like Iono or Colress's Experiment, as these will help you set up your board quickly and consistently. In the first three turns, aim to get Bidoof into play and evolve it into Bibarel to utilize its Industrious Incisors ability for card draw. Simultaneously, begin deploying Wiglett and aim to evolve into Wugtrio while leveraging your Supporter cards and Ultra Ball to search for necessary components. Use Beach Court to facilitate effortless mobility and set up your board state while keeping energy attachments consistent with Double Turbo Energy and Jet Energy. The Jank Score for this deck is 785, reflecting its unconventional but potentially effective strategies. This deck would appeal to creative players who enjoy deviating from the meta and surprising their opponents with unusual card choices.
This deck is unique due to the combination of Arceus VSTAR and Bibarel, which allows for a consistent and powerful setup by leveraging Bibarel's Industrious Incisors ability to keep your hand filled and Arceus VSTAR's Star Birth ability to search for any crucial cards needed at any point. The inclusion of Bidoof and Bibarel provides additional draw power, which is often critical for maintaining tempo mid-game. Cards that make a good opening hand would include Arceus V, a Nest Ball or Ultra Ball to search for Bidoof or Munkidori, and an energy card, preferably Double Turbo Energy, to accelerate Arceus V into Arceus VSTAR quickly. On your first turn, focus on getting Arceus V out and attaching an energy to it. Turn two should include evolving Arceus V into Arceus VSTAR, using Star Birth to get key cards like Double Turbo Energy or supporters, and setting up a Bibarel if possible for draw power. By turn three, aim to be attacking with Arceus VSTAR while searching out other necessary components from your deck with Arceus VSTAR's attacks. This proactive approach maximizes the pressure on the opponent while maintaining your card advantage. A Jank Score for this deck would be around 420 out of 1000, reflecting its unusual combination of strong meta-game components with a few less conventional card choices. Players who enjoy a mix of consistency, flexibility in their gameplay, and potential for surprise tactics would likely be attracted to this deck.
This deck is unique due to its eclectic mix of cards, notably the inclusion of Pidgeot ex, Bidoof and Bibarel for stability and draw support, alongside niche tech cards like Collapsed Stadium and Prime Catcher. Unique also is the use of Technical Machine: Evolution for strategic evolution triggers. A good opening hand ideally includes a Gastly and a Rare Candy to quickly evolve into Gengar ex, along with a Nest Ball for fetching necessary basics like Pidgey or Cleffa for draw support. For the first three turns, prioritize getting a Gastly on the bench and use Rare Candy to evolve into Haunter and then Gengar ex as early as possible. Secure your setup further with Nest Ball and Ultra Ball to find and play support Pokémon like Pidgey and Bidoof. On Turn 2, deploy Bidoof and evolve to Bibarel for extra draw power each turn. By Turn 3, aim to use Boss's Orders to disrupt your opponent while consolidating Gengar ex as your main attacker, ensuring the rest of your bench is optimized for draw and evolving other key cards. This deck earns a Jank Score of 750 out of 1000 due to its unorthodox composition and reliance on a mix of both staple and highly situational cards. The deck would likely appeal to a player who enjoys creative and unpredictable gameplay, values having multiple tech options, and doesn't mind the inconsistency that often comes with non-traditional deck structures.
The deck is unique primarily because of the inclusion of the Capsakid and Scovillain ex cards combined with the support from Bibarel and the Darkrai VSTAR line. The mix of these cards alongside niche items such as Bug Catching Set and Buddy-Buddy Poffin makes it stand out from more conventional decks. For a good opening hand, you ideally want a mix of basics like Capsakid or Bidoof, an Ultra Ball to fetch necessary evolutions, and Judge or Iono to keep your opponent's game plan in check. For the first three turns, focus on setting up your basic Pokémon like Capsakid and Bidoof, use Ultra Ball to evolve into Scovillain ex and Bibarel as soon as possible, while using Judge or Iono to disrupt your opponent’s hand if they seem to be setting up something major. Pay attention to using Pokémon League Headquarters to further hinder your opponent's setup. Then, start transitioning into using Darkrai VSTAR's abilities to pull off some bigger plays. Considering its mix of niche cards and the somewhat unpredictable combo of Grass and Dark elements, I would give this deck a Jank Score of 670, making it moderately chaotic and less consistent compared to more streamlined meta decks. This deck would likely appeal to players who enjoy unconventional strategies and the challenge of making lesser-seen cards work in synergy, as well as those who find joy in disrupting their opponent's plans through well-timed supporter and item plays.

Additionally, the inclusion of Technical Machine: Turbo Energize and Technical Machine: Crisis Punch adds versatility in powering up and dealing powerful blows. The Forest Seal Stone and Rescue Board cards provide strategic advantages for searching and recovering key elements. A good opening hand would include Rotom V, a couple of Nest Balls or Ultra Balls to quickly get additional Pokémon onto the bench, and a Professor's Research to draw a fresh hand. For the first three turns, prioritize getting Rotom V on the bench and evolving into Rotom VSTAR as soon as possible, while using Turbo Energize to attach extra energies.

Standout cards like Beach Court may be minor in impact but contribute to the deck's overall fluidity and mobility. A good opening hand would ideally include Origin Forme Palkia V, a Nest Ball or Ultra Ball to fetch needed Pokémon, and an Irida to secure supportive Trainer cards. On the first turn, prioritize getting Origin Forme Palkia V onto the bench and using cards like Nest Ball to fill your bench with necessary basic Pokémon.

By the third turn, employ Irida to further stabilize your board while beginning to attack with Palkia VSTAR's powerful moves to pressure your opponent. I would assign this deck a Jank Score of 650 out of 1000 as it combines somewhat unconventional elements with powerful staples, making it both intriguing and moderately competitive. This deck would appeal to players who enjoy strategic depth in their gameplay, leveraging strong but lesser-seen Pokémon in combination with reliable support cards to outmaneuver opponents.
This deck is unique primarily due to the inclusion of Alolan Rattata and Alolan Raticate which can be utilized for early pressure and status manipulation, and the supportive synergy created with cards like Pidgeot ex and Bibarel for consistency and draw power.

Key utility cards such as Bibarel for draw power, Radiant Greninja for further card draw, and Lumineon V for searching essential Supporter cards are noteworthy. In the opening hand, you'll ideally want a mix of basics like Frigibax, Origin Forme Palkia V, and Bidoof, plus a Nest Ball or Ultra Ball for quick bench setup, and Irida to help streamline your setup by fetching essential Trainer and Water-type Pokémon.
