>>38217108Without stating the obvious of "guzma, electropower, zapdos" there is basically nothing you can do about it.
They will always take a Prize card before you whether you go first or second, they will always take a Prize card every turn because they have 4 Guzma and 4 Electropower, and you cannot stop them because their damage dealer is a single Prize, single energy attacker.
They also do not play down any GXes unless they will win the game by doing so, so you cannot out-trade them in Prizes they will always be ahead of you. They can honestly just ignore any GXes you play in favour of Guzma'ing up the 4 weakest targets, and once they've done that they just play down Thunder Mountain, Tapu Koko Prism Star and Pikachu/Zekrom TTGX to end the game.
People will swear up and down that it has "variants" but at the end of the day it's all the same thing, whether it's using Buzzwole when you have 4 Prizes (so another single energy, single prize attacker) or Lycanroc-GX so they can Guzma AT LEAST SIX TIMES.
>j-just use TEU Absol or Alolan MukBoth of those ain't doing shit. Any Zapdos player will kill the Ditto Prism Star / Alolan Grimer before it gets to evolve and even if you play both they'll kill it anyway.
>>38217168Given how they still insist on printing 60HP NFEs whose only attribute is [C] Tackle for 10 damage, yes it is. Zapdos has no business doing 80 for 1 Energy, especially not in Lightning, and even if it did it should have been on something like a Pikaclone with 70 HP at most as a semi-gimmickmon.
