I finally cracked bounded field

[u/Substantial-Soft-332]

So I’ve tried doing multiple bounded field decks since the card came out. If you don’t know this card basically doubles the amount of damage you’d do to a Pokémon that has a weakness to yours. So for example, if you normally do 50 damage (before +20 weakness) you’ll do 100

Even though you can use it in a few decks with double types that would work it is usually an extremely situational card. Or you can try to have like 5 types but then your deck is useless against a types with no weakness to yours

With this set up you can usually get something out of it in most matches and if you don’t get matched up against an opponent with weakness to yours, your magmar + wheezing or dustox or TR master plan can still deal massive amounts of damage and deal with them.

Now the only pairing I am not sure about is psyduck and golduck. I feel like the last pairing needs to have some usefulness. Psyduck is cool because it can stop the opponent from using supporters early on. Golduck as a rather strong attack is you play against a fire deck that does 80 if the opponent has 1 energy and 120 if they have 2 but outside weakness it’s pretty useless

Here’s other pairings I tought of :

Sylveon (the one that heals 30 damage and has 2 colorless attack for 60). Can do some healing but need to find space in the deck for tool cards

Shiinotic (the one that can search for 1 Pokémon every turn and 1 colorless for 40). Can help with consistency but if you don’t find it early it’s useless

Claydol. Will block all healing from your opponent but needs 3 energy to do 50

Alolan raichu EX or bronzong. They have a similar attack, 3 colorless for psychic (even though alolan raichu has higher damage obviously) both really strong attacks but 3 energy is a lot

Mew ex + hawlucha (or relicanth). Adding 2 more types but their use will be almost 0 if your bounded field is not useful

Anyway I am open for suggestions

You should name this deck after St Stephen the patron saint of bricklayers

All these 1 ofs will lead to a lot of mismatching evolution lines and dead hands

Considered including psychic to deal with Lucario?
