>>26686244Pokemon doesn't have the same kind or level of player interaction as you find in MtG and YGO. There's literally nothing you can do on your opponent's turn, so things like traps and counters just don't exist. It's a much simpler game.
The closest you'd get to a control deck would be something like Trevenant, Seismitoad, or Vileplume that locks your opponent out of a type of card. Or some kind of energy denial deck that keeps your opponent behind.
