I’ve been playing this Starmie Lumineon deck an anon posted a few days ago and it fucks

>hit his rat for 20 with Finneon, he plays an energy
>evolve, then retreat for free into a sacrificial basic mon which he kills
>bought me a turn to get another energy onto my Staryu, found Starmie, retreat for free, play Gio to kill the rat
>he’s obviously gearing up to play a Surge onto his Raichu, so I retreat Starmie and just pressure his benched Pikachu instead

lol
I’ve won like 5/6 games so far, and the loss was a mega brick that I conceded early. Starmie is obviously one of the best cards in the game, but Lumineon feels like a surprisingly good support card for it, especially in the current meta. Not having to run any X speed is also very cool. The jury is still out on Poke Flute, though.
