![]() ![]() If that sounds pretty good, that’s because it is! To start things off, here’s my list for Single Strike Urshifu VMAX: Decklist and Explanation Combine those three Pokemon, and you have a fast, hard-hitting deck, with built in gust support and few weaknesses. Umbreon VMAX makes things even easier with its Dark Signal Ability, ensuring that you can KO the target of your choice. Houndoom’s Single Strike Roar provides consistent Energy acceleration, so that the deck can hit fast and start getting Knock Outs as early as turn 2. In a format where Pokemon VMAX are prevalent, having the ability to deal 320+ damage is a tremendous advantage, and it is this advantage that gives Single Strike Urshifu VMAX its strength. To accomplish this, the archetype uses hard-hitting attackers along with positive damage modifiers, so that no Pokemon is out of OHKO range. The main plan for Single Strike decks as you might expect, is to get OHKOs. The addition of Umbreon VMAX to this deck has been a game changer - not only does it shore up Single Strike Urshifu VMAX’s Weakness to Psychic-type, but its Ability is one of the strongest in the game, especially for a direct-damage deck like Single Strike Urshifu VMAX. Compared to the other Single Strike decks (Tornadus VMAX, Non-Pokemon V Single Strike Urshifu, and Umbreon VMAX sans Urshifu), this build has been the strongest, mostly thanks to the higher damage of G-Max One Blow. While there are a few different ways to play Single Strike, the deck I’ve found to be the best is also the one that’s seen the most tournament success: Single Strike Urshifu VMAX / Umbreon VMAX / Houndoom. I had dabbled with the Single Strike archetype somewhat during the Chilling Reign format - Tornadus VMAX was one of my go-to decks then - so I was quite happy when Evolving Skies made the archetype a lot stronger! Now, rather than being an off-meta choice, Single Strike has established itself as one of the top decks in Standard. Inteleon allows you to laser focus your damage across the board and allow you to line up Knock Outs as necessary.Hello everyone! In today’s article, I’m going to be going over Single Strike, as it is one of my favorite archetypes in the new post-rotation meta. Some of those searches might be to draw cards, like Professor’s Research (Sword and Shield), and others might grab cards to jump back into the game, such as Raihan (Evolving Skies). Shady Dealings Drizzile ( Sword and Shield) is the backbone of this deck because it gives you outs to grab any of your Trainer cards. Both Telescopic Sight ( Vivid Voltage) and Passimian ( Chilling Reign) can help increase the Bench damage to get you closer to winning the game. You’ll either go for rapid attacks with Gale Thrust to line up Knock Outs or spread damage to your liking with G Max Rapid Flow. The strategy of this deck is to use Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX as your main outlet to damage your opponent's Pokémon. This is amplified by using Quick Shooting and determining where to put that extra damage from Inteleon each turn. So while decks like Suicune V ( Evolving Skies) are extremely effective, it’s way easier to be forced to attack the Active Pokémon with Blizzard Rondo instead of having to choose where to deal your damage. The reason why isn’t surprising, you have to pick multiple Pokémon targets for G Max Rapid Flow instead of the usual one. This is certainly not one of those stripped-down decks, it likely has one of the larger skill caps in the game. I’ll be the first to say that our Post Rotation format feels stripped down when it comes to skill level, but it makes up for it in deck variety. He definitely knows what’s up with Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX, so let’s check out his list: Luckily for us, we have a large Post Rotation dub for this deck at the Full Grip $1000 event by Azul Garcia Griego. We’ve seen this with powerful decks, such as Eternatus VMAX ( Darkness Ablaze), that need certain cards, like Pokémon Communication (Team Up), to be truly successful. Those massive results have bolstered this deck as one of the best, but those are all Pre Rotation results, right? Well, yeah, things can change from a Rotation, and depending on how important some cards are to a certain deck, some decks become nearly obsolete. ![]() Fast forward a few months later, Alex Schemanske added Inteleon ( Chilling Reign) to the deck and won both the Players Cup 4 and the Players Cup Invitational. While most of the community went to one side or another, Azul Garcia Griego showed the world that Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX was the better deck by winning the Players Cup 3. When Battle Styles was first released, there was a huge debate among the Pokémon community - which deck was better? Single Strike Urshifu VMAX ( Battle Styles) or Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX. ![]()
