>>54696765Raichu is really not the answer, Charizard is too bulky and you burn half the energy in the deck in a single attack.
With Iron Hands coming soon, I'm thinking of tinkering with the established lists and working on a more Arven-centric toolbox approach. Future Booster Capsule turns Iron Hands into a pivot that can charge up on the bench and has a worthwhile attack, unlike Flying Pikachu V. With Hands, getting 3 prize KOs on Pidgeot ex and 2 prize KOs on dinky bench sitters instead of Zard can be the play
The other part of the strategy which I'm eager to try, is a 1-of Devolution tm. Normally the issue is if you manage to deal with Zard, they have Pidgeot ex ready to tutor for the one card they need the most and then they get right back into the game. If you devolve them you can completely blank their board, and their only chance of getting back in is if they used their one of charmeleon, which you can easily boss and pop.
