Vortex Gaming

Many Fighting Pokémon have been researched as counters to the Pikachu deck, but Keo-Opus, with its many weaknesses, has remained a niche pick.

Nevertheless, there have been several attempts to utilize Keo-Opus.

Among them, I'd like to introduce some decks that stand out in concept or have practical potential.

✅Keo-Opus Deck Features

· Effect of chasing the attacked Pokémon to the bench

· Keo-Opus's attack and retreat require 3 energy, making it difficult to use switching strategies

· Attacks all of the opponent's Pokémon evenly rather than focusing on taking them down one by one

1️⃣Keo-Opus + Pidgeot Deck

· Put Keo-Opus forward and train Pidgeot on the bench

· Pattern of calling bench Pokémon with Pidgeot and then chasing them away again with Keo-Opus

· Very effective when the opponent's battle Pokémon has a high retreat cost like Snorlax

· Focused attacks are also possible when there is only 1 opponent's bench Pokémon

2️⃣Keo-Opus + Hitmonlee + Team Mewtwo Deck

· Only uses Fighting Energy

· Secure the time needed to train Keo-Opus with Mewtwo tank

· Combo of attacking with Keo-Opus and finishing with Hitmonlee

· Can take down 2-stage evolution Pokémon that need to be trained early

3️⃣Keo-Opus + Greninja + Hitmonlee Deck

· Adopt Greninja that can attack bench Pokémon

· Keo-Opus deals damage evenly, and Greninja targets attacks

· Hitmonlee is used for early tanking or to score the final points
