With the release of the new Copperajah V box, it helps out a lot if you want to build yourself a Copperajah VMAX deck! Copperajah VMAX can become one of the tankiest cards in the game thanks to its whopping 340 HP, Metal Frying Pan, and Lucario & Melmetal GX! This puts this card to a massive 400 HP! Copperajah VMAX can also hit very hard to with its two attacks doing upwards of 200-240 damage each, combined with Galarian Perrserker, to add extra damage! Let's look at a list for Copperajah VMAX and talk about the deck and how it works!

With this Copperajah list, we are trying to use Lucario & Melmetal's GX attack, Full Metal Wall, to make it, so all our Metal Pokémon take 30 less damage from attacks. This will then give Copperajah VMAX an extra 30 HP due to the reduced damage. Then when we attach the Metal Frying Pan to Copperajah VMAX, it will reduce another 30 and gets rid of its fire weakness, giving it a total of 400 HP with the damage reductions. We also use Galarian Perrserker in the deck to add damage to Copperajah VMAX's attacks. Its first attack, Dangerous Nose, does 200 damage if your opponent's active is a basic. So with the Perrserker, it is OHKOing Zacian V, which is very important. Its second attack does 240 damage, so if we can get a Perrserker in play, it is OHKOing a Pikachu & Zekrom GX also, and with 2 Perrserkers in play, you're OHKOing most Tag Team GXs! Some other cards in the deck to note are the Tapu Fini & Mew. The Mew is there for the bench protection against Pikachu & Zekrom, and the Tapu Fini is for the Blacephalon matchup, which is probably your worst matchup. Even with the Metal Frying Pans removing weakness, Blacephalon can still OHKO you easily, but we do have Marnie & Reset Stamp alongside Tapu Fini to help in that fight! The deck plays two Mallow & Lana to be able to heal your Copperajah VMAXs because the opponent is most likely never one-shotting them. I also play one Friend Ball since Metal is a very popular type right now whether it be Zacian V or Jirachi, Friend Ball can be a free Pokémon search! Some other notable cards you can play in this deck include Tool Scrapper, Tag Call, Eldegoss V, Chaotic Swell & Zamazenta V!
This is my Copperajah VMAX deck that I have come up with, and I believe that it is pretty strong and can be very tanky and can pack a punch thanks to Copperajah's damage output! So Copperajah could be a sleeper deck making the Copperajah V box be something worth picking up if interested in this deck!
