One of my favorite new VMAX cards to come out of Darkness Ablaze is Charizard VMAX! Charizard VMAX does 300 damage, and thanks to cards like Volcanion, Welder & Triple Acceleration Energy, it is easy to power it up quickly! The list that I am currently using for my Charizard VMAX deck is presently a pre-rotation deck, as it can be a deck choice for any upcoming Ultra Prism to Darkness Ablaze tournaments that are happening for a few weeks before rotation. Let's take a look at the list and break it down!
Pokémon: 18
- 3 Charizard V (DAB)
- 3 Charizard VMAX (DAB)
- 3 Volcanion (UNB)
- 3 Jirachi (TEU)
- 2 Dedenne GX (UNB)
- 1 Crobat V (DAB)
- 1 Eldegoss V (DAB)
- 1 Zigzagoon (SWSH)
- 1 Victini V (SWSH)
Trainers: 29
- 1 Fiery Flint (DRM)
- 1 Fire Crystal (UNB)
- 2 Pokémon Communication (TEU)
- 4 Quick Ball (SWSH)
- 4 Scoop Up Net (RCL)
- 3 Switch (SWSH)
- 1 Giant Hearth (UNI)
- 1 Heat Factory (LOT)
- 2 Boss's Orders (RCL)
- 1 Piers (DAB)
- 2 Professor's Research (SWSH)
- 4 Welder (UNB)
- 1 Escape Board (UPR)
- 2 Vitality Band (SWSH)
Energy: 13
- 3 Triple Acceleration Energy (UNB)
- 10 Basic Fire Energy
This is my current list for Charizard VMAX & I believe that is is pretty good when you can make it work. The deck revolves around a few ways to power up your Charizard VMAX, using cards like Welder & Volcanion. Volcanion is essential because the attack “Flare Starter” allows you to search your deck for 3 Fire Energies to put onto your Charizard V. This alongside evolving the Charizard V into a VMAX and followed by a Triple Acceleration Energy the following turn allows you to immediately attack for 300 Damage! Zigzagoon is also important as well 300 damage is a lot to do, there are other VMAXs now with 310 HP+ so using Zigzagoon with Scoop Up Net and also Vitality Band allows you to reach high numbers of 320/340 damage easily! Of course, since this Charizard deck uses cards like Welder to power up Charizard & is one of the main draw supporters, we use the tech draw Pokémon like Dedenne GX and the new Crobat V! These 2 Pokémon allow us to dig through our deck when looking for a specific card like Welder or Triple Acceleration Energy! A tech card I do also play is Victini V, as in the late game, Victini V's first attack Spreading Flames can be useful for putting fire energy back onto our Charizard VMAX! Another card I have in here as a tech is the card Piers. Piers is a new supporter from Darkness Ablaze that allows you to grab a dark Pokémon and an energy. This means you can get a Zigzagoon or a Crobat V to add damage or draw and grab a Triple Acceleration Energy for Charizard to attack. This means Piers can sometimes guarantee you get the knockout! We can also reuse Piers with our Eldegoss V! I would also include other cards: Heatran GX, Blacephalon GX, 4th Switch, 4th Charizard V, 3rd Pokémon Communication!
This is my list I am using and what the deck is all about! It is very fun to play & is very satisfying to knock out big VMAXs and Tag Teams with Charizard VMAX!
