Working on an Eevee deck.

Silverwarrior · 2 Weeks Ago

My wife loves Eevee, so I'm trying to work out an idea for a deck that uses all three original evolutions from Rising Rivals. The "Undevelope" and then Evolving ____ attacks look great in theory, but play-testing has kinda hit a hard spot. I started with 3 Copies of each, but Eevee can already search out 2 copies on his first turn for free.

This is what we are working with right now.

Pokemon
Eevee (4) RR

Jolteon (2) RR
Vaporeon (2) RR
Flareon (2) RR

Baltoy (2) GE
Claydol (2) GE

Uxie

Electrode G SV

Supporters
Volkner's Philosophy (2)
Bebe's Search (2)
Roseannes's Research (4)
Cynthia's Feelings (2)

Trainers
Switch (4)
Pokemon Rescue (2)
Poke' Radar (2)
Night Maintenace

Energy
Fire Energy (6)
Electric Energy (6)
Water Energy (6)

So far I only have 53 cards that I know are working pretty well with it. I'm thinking of taking out the Switch for Warp Point. The Electrode G is kinda out of place, but it's a fast 20 damage to alot of pokemon, and it adds up fast with the 50-60 damage coming from the evolutions of Eevee.

Any advice will help greatly. Thanks.

Well I did post about the deck to Pynk, but I did not realize you wanted to keep it old school... So please disregard my post on her topic. XD

It looks like a pretty solid deck aside from the Cynthia's Feelings. I would take out the Cynthia's Feelings, the Night Maintenance, and an energy (depending on which Eevee-lution is less dependant on energy) for 4 Energy Searches to get that one specific type you need out. Also you'll need to run a few more Basic Pokemon. Having only 4 main, 2 for techs, and 2 other non-focus Basics, you might run in to some problems come the start of a match or in the beginning when you're in need of Eevee! For each hand you dont draw a basic, your opponent can get an extra card to his/her hand... So if you want to speed up some Supporter usage, you can throw in a couple Sableyes for its Impersonate ability: "Search your deck for a Supporter and discard it. Use that card's effect as this attack's effect."

Try this set up. It might still need some work, but the way I look at it is Jolteon and Flareon for main attackers and Vaporeon for sniping.
