Vortex Gaming

In late November, Charizard + Arcanine decks surged in popularity at various overseas tournaments, bringing Water-type counter decks back into the spotlight.

In particular, decks combining Articuno ex and Greninja are gaining attention.

It not only reached the semi-finals in a tournament with 1,024 participants but also won a tournament with 200 participants.

✅Articuno + Greninja Deck Features

· Can exploit the weaknesses of the currently popular Charizard ex + Arcanine ex decks

· Complements Articuno ex's lack of firepower with Greninja's Water Shuriken

· Includes 1 regular Articuno for tanking and late-game paralysis

· Can use Misty since the deck only consists of Water Pokémon

✅Articuno + Greninja Deck List and Strategy

· Lead with Articuno ex and develop Greninja on the bench

· Focus energy on Articuno ex since Greninja is mainly for the bench Water Shuriken

· Use regular Articuno as a tank for stalling in the early game or to paralyze key opposing Pokémon in the late game
