Toxtricity puts a Darkness Energy and 2 damage counters on a Benched Mega Sharpedo ex, so Hungry Jaws hits 270 at once, 310 with Binding Mochi while Pecharunt ex keeps it Poisoned.
Your turn-2 goal
- Tatsugiri Active to start the turn: Attract Customers finds your Supporter.
- Toxtricity in play: Sinister Surge puts Energy and 2 counters on a Benched Mega Sharpedo ex.
- Pecharunt ex in play: Subjugating Chains brings that Sharpedo Active and Poisons it.
- Your manual Darkness attach plus Binding Mochi: Hungry Jaws for 310.
Your attackers
120, +150 with any damage counters
Every turn: 270 once damaged, 310 with Binding Mochi while Poisoned.
70, draw 2

60 per Prize your opponent took
Late game: 240 after they took 4, 300 after 5.
100 to any opposing Pokémon
Finish a damaged or small Benched Pokémon.
Key decisions
- Leave at least 1 counter on Sharpedo. Moving all its damage with Adrena-Brain drops Hungry Jaws from 270 to 120; move counters off Pecharunt ex or Toxtricity instead.
- Binding Mochi needs Poison. Bring the attacker in with Subjugating Chains, or attach to your Active with Janine's Secret Art, the same turn you attack.
- Munkidori costs your manual attach. Sinister Surge only feeds Benched [D] Pokémon and Munkidori is [P]: choose between 30 extra damage and Energy for the next Sharpedo.
- Two Sharpedo KOs are 6 Prizes. Use Toxtricity or Greedy Fang on small targets and save Hungry Jaws for KOs that matter.
- Team Rocket's Watchtower early. You have no [C] Pokémon, so it only switches off their [C] Abilities; pair it with Judge to cut their hand.
Common mistakes
- Playing Wally's Compassion on a Sharpedo you can't recharge: it returns all its Energy to your hand and removes the damage Hungry Jaws needs.
- Attaching Binding Mochi to a Pokémon that won't be Poisoned this turn.
- Filling the Bench with 70 HP Basics: each is an easy Prize against spread damage.
- Playing Unfair Stamp on a turn you can't follow up with a KO.
Versions
3-3 Sharpedo, 3 Pecharunt ex, 2-2 Toxtricity, 2 Munkidori, 2 Tatsugiri, Unfair Stamp found with Team Rocket's Petrel.
Gravity Mountain gives every Stage 2 -30 HP, putting 320 HP Stage 2 ex in range of 310.
Chi-Yu hits 110 for one Energy after Sinister Surge; Janine's Secret Art Poisons your Active for Mochi without Pecharunt ex.
Matchups
Sharpedo Toxtricity vs Dragapult
A race of big hits. You can KO Dragapult ex in one turn (Hungry Jaws + Binding Mochi + Adrena-Brain = 340); they need two Phantom Dives for Mega Sharpedo ex. Losing a Sharpedo early hands them 3 Prizes.
Their plan
- Phantom Dive: 200 to the Active. A Sharpedo at 300 after Sinister Surge and Poison survives with 100, and the second hit takes 3 Prizes.
- 6 Bench counters: they KO Carvanha, Toxel or Tatsugiri (70) with a little help; Risky Ruins puts Tatsugiri at 50 and Munkidori at 90 when benched.
- Budew locks your Items: Binding Mochi, Buddy-Buddy Poffin, Ultra Ball. Sinister Surge, Subjugating Chains and Adrena-Brain are Abilities and still work.
- Crushing Hammer + their Munkidori: Hammer strips your second Darkness Energy, and Adrena-Brain moves damage off a Dragapult ex you only half finished.
Your prize plan
- Set up the combo engine. Toxtricity in play, a Sharpedo on the Bench and Pecharunt ex ready; start with Tatsugiri Active to find your Supporter.
- Hit the Dreepy line early. Greedy Fang (70) KOs Dreepy, Hungry Jaws KOs Drakloak (90), and Greedy Fang does 140 to their Munkidori (110) for Weakness.
- KO Dragapult ex in one turn. Sinister Surge, Subjugating Chains to Poison, attach, Binding Mochi: 310, plus Adrena-Brain for 340.
- Use Gravity Mountain. Dragapult ex drops to 290 and 310 is enough; your deck has no Stage 2 Pokémon, so it only hurts them.
Against an Active Dragapult ex (320 HP)
Don't
- Starting a two-turn KO on Dragapult ex: their Munkidori moves 30 off it each turn. Take it in one turn or hit the Dreepy line instead.
- Moving every counter off Sharpedo with Adrena-Brain: Hungry Jaws drops from 270 to 120. Move damage from Pecharunt ex or Toxtricity.
- Filling the Bench with 70 HP Basics: Phantom Dive's 6 counters turn them into free Prizes.
Key turn
- After their first Phantom Dive on Sharpedo: it sits at 100. KO the attacking Dragapult ex that turn, or they take 3 Prizes next turn.
- Under Budew's Itchy Pollen: no Binding Mochi, so you need both Munkidori: 270 + 60 = 330 still KOs.
If they play…
Fighting Wings does 110 to an Active ex. It doesn't threaten Sharpedo alone, but adds up with Phantom Dive. Hungry Jaws KOs its 120 HP.
Tenacious Tail does 60 per ex you have in play. Keep Fezandipiti ex and extra Pecharunt ex off the Bench.
Binding Mochi stops working: you need 270 plus both Munkidori (330), or replace it with Gravity Mountain.
Sharpedo Toxtricity vs N's Zoroark
A race of their 2-Prize N's Zoroark ex against your 3-Prize Sharpedo. Hungry Jaws plus one boost KOs a Zoroark; they need Rampaging Thunder plus two boosts, so their N's Zekrom is the card to remove.
Their plan
- Rampaging Thunder via Night Joker: 250 for [D][D] while N's Zekrom sits on the Bench. That Zoroark can't attack next turn, so they rotate with N's Castle or Pecharunt ex.
- Boosts to reach 330: Black Belt's Training (+40 to an Active ex) and Binding Mochi on a Poisoned Zoroark (+40) make 330, exactly Mega Sharpedo ex's HP.
- Your self-damage helps them: a Sharpedo on 300 after Sinister Surge and one Poison check falls to 250 + Black Belt's Training + one Adrena-Brain (320).
- Virtuous Flame (N's Reshiram, 170) KOs Toxtricity (140) with no attack lock; with Black Belt's Training it does 210 to Pecharunt ex (190).
Your prize plan
- Turn 2 combo: Sinister Surge on a Benched Sharpedo, Subjugating Chains it Active (Poisoned), attach, Binding Mochi: Hungry Jaws 310 KOs N's Zoroark ex (280).
- Take Zoroark ex first: each is 2 Prizes and a Trade draw engine, so three KOs win. Without Mochi, 270 + one Adrena-Brain (300) still KOs.
- Boss's Orders on N's Zekrom (130) when no Zoroark is in range: without it their best hit is Virtuous Flame, 210 with Black Belt's Training, short of any Sharpedo.
- Cheap Prizes with Greedy Fang: 70 KOs N's Zorua (70) before it evolves, and their Munkidori (110) is weak to Darkness: 140 KO, plus 2 cards.
Against an Active N's Zoroark ex (280 HP)
Don't
- Leaving a damaged Zoroark ex in play: a copied Powerful Rage does 20 per damage counter on it.
- Wiping every counter off Sharpedo with Adrena-Brain: Hungry Jaws drops from 270 to 120.
- Benching Fezandipiti ex without need: two Sharpedo already give them 6 Prizes, and they don't need another 2-Prize target.
Key turn
- After their first Rampaging Thunder: that Zoroark can't attack next turn. If they have no second charged Zoroark, your KO on the Active one swings the race.
- Team Rocket's Watchtower over N's Castle: their Zoroark go back to Retreat Cost 2, so rotating after Rampaging Thunder costs them Energy or a Pecharunt ex turn.
If they play…
Hitting its holder puts 4 counters on Sharpedo: Hungry Jaws stays on, but Sharpedo drops to 290, in range of 250 + Black Belt's Training.
Itchy Pollen stops Items, Binding Mochi included. Abilities still work: 270 + one Adrena-Brain (300) still KOs a Zoroark ex.
Clutch stops your Active from retreating, but Subjugating Chains is a switch, not a retreat: it still swaps Sharpedo in or out.
Sharpedo Toxtricity vs Basic Box
Grass Weakness decides it: Iron Leaves ex and Teal Mask Ogerpon ex hit Sharpedo for 360. Slow their draw with Watchtower and take Kangaskhan's 3 Prizes before the Grass attackers set up.
Their plan
- Iron Leaves ex: Rapid Vernier brings it Active with Energy moved from their other Pokémon; Prism Edge 180 doubles to 360 and KOs a full-HP Sharpedo.
- Teal Mask Ogerpon ex: Myriad Leaf Shower does 30 + 30 per Energy on both Actives; with 5 Energy in total it is 180, doubled to 360.
- Mega Kangaskhan ex: Rapid-Fire Combo 200 + 50 per heads; two heads (300) KO a Sharpedo on 300 after Sinister Surge and a Poison check.
- Raging Bolt ex: Bellowing Thunder does 70 per Energy discarded; 5 Energy is 350, a KO on any Sharpedo.
Your prize plan
- Turn off their draw: Team Rocket's Watchtower shuts down Run Errand and Last-Ditch Catch (Kangaskhan and Meowth ex are Colorless). None of your Pokémon are Colorless. Pair it with Judge early.
- KO Kangaskhan for 3 Prizes: Hungry Jaws + Binding Mochi on a Poisoned Sharpedo is 310 against 300 HP; without Mochi, add one Adrena-Brain (300).
- Then the Grass attackers before they charge: Boss's Orders on Teal Mask Ogerpon ex (210) or Iron Leaves ex (220); Hungry Jaws 270 KOs either.
- Latias ex (210) and Iron Crown ex (220) are weak to Darkness: even Hungry Jaws on an undamaged Sharpedo does 240 and KOs either.
Against an Active Mega Kangaskhan ex (300 HP)
Don't
- Letting Teal Mask Ogerpon ex sit and collect Energy: every Energy on either Active adds 30 to Myriad Leaf Shower.
- Filling the Bench with 70-HP Basics: Cruel Arrow (100) and Torrential Pump (120 to the Bench) take free Prizes.
- Wiping every counter off Sharpedo with Adrena-Brain: Hungry Jaws drops from 270 to 120.
Key turn
- Your turn 2: Watchtower plus Judge before Run Errand gets going decides whether they find their Grass attackers in time.
- The turn after Prism Edge: Iron Leaves ex can't attack, so KO it (220) with Hungry Jaws 270 or Boss's Orders the next Grass attacker.
If they play…
Kangaskhan goes to 400 HP: even 310 plus two Adrena-Brain (370) falls short. Take their 2-Prize ex instead.
Tools do nothing, so no Binding Mochi bonus; it also replaces your Watchtower. KO Kangaskhan with 270 + one Adrena-Brain.
Snow Sink discards your Watchtower and Run Errand is back. Keep your second Watchtower for the next turn.
Sharpedo Toxtricity vs Slowking
Sharpedo (330) is too big for their copied attacks, but your 70-HP Basics are not. Keep a small Bench against Trifrost, cut Run Errand with Watchtower, and trade Greedy Fang into every Slowking.
Their plan
- Trifrost (copied from Kyurem): 110 to 3 Pokémon. On the Bench it KOs Carvanha, Toxel, Tatsugiri (70) and Munkidori (110): up to 3 Prizes in one attack.
- Thunder Raid (Zeraora): 210 to a Benched Pokémon ex. It KOs Pecharunt ex (190) or Fezandipiti ex (210).
- Mega Kangaskhan ex: Run Errand draws 2 while Active; Rapid-Fire Combo 200 +50 per heads needs 2 heads on a Sharpedo already down to 300 from its own counters.
- Seek Inspiration costs only [P][C]: Academy at Night and Ciphermaniac's Codebreaking choose which attack they copy.
Your prize plan
- Evolve fast, Bench small. Carvanha and Toxel are Trifrost targets; Sharpedo (330) and Toxtricity (140) survive it. Never leave three 70-HP Pokémon on the Bench.
- Team Rocket's Watchtower early. It turns off Run Errand and Meowth ex's Last-Ditch Catch, their draw and Supporter search.
- Greedy Fang every Slowking. It is Weak to Darkness: 70 ×2 = 140 KOs Slowking (120) and Slowpoke (80) for one Energy, and you draw 2.
- Hungry Jaws on the ex. Latias ex (210) takes 240 even with no counters on Sharpedo; Kangaskhan (300, 3 Prizes) needs 270 + Adrena-Brain or Binding Mochi.
Against an Active Mega Kangaskhan ex (300 HP)
Don't
- Benching Tatsugiri, Carvanha and Toxel at once before you can evolve: one Trifrost takes 3 Prizes.
- Leaving Pecharunt ex or Fezandipiti ex on the Bench with no job: Thunder Raid takes 2 Prizes without needing Boss's Orders.
- Moving every counter off Sharpedo with Adrena-Brain: Hungry Jaws drops from 270 to 120.
Key turn
- Their turn 2 Trifrost: if your Bench is Sharpedo and Toxtricity instead of 70-HP Basics, it takes almost nothing.
- Judge plus Watchtower early: they lose their hand and Run Errand at once, and the attack they needed on top is shuffled away.
If they play…
Hazardous Tail (100) leaves your Active Paralyzed and Poisoned. Pecharunt ex's Subjugating Chains switches it out.
Sharpedo Toxtricity vs Dhelmise
Greedy Fang KOs Dhelmise for one Energy thanks to Darkness Weakness, while Vengeful Anchor needs two hits on a 330-HP Sharpedo. KO a Dhelmise every turn and move their damage off with Adrena-Brain.
Their plan
- Vengeful Anchor: 30 for one Energy, 170 once 4 Hide 'n' Sneak Pokémon are in their discard. Two hits (340) KO a Sharpedo; one KOs Toxtricity (140) or Munkidori (110).
- Hide 'n' Sneak: Poltchageist, Sinistcha, Shuppet and Banette ignore effects of your attacks and Abilities, so Adrena-Brain can't put counters on them. Damage still works.
- Matcha Spin (6+ in their discard): 4 counters on each of your Pokémon. Your 70-HP Basics drop to 30.
- Legacy Energy: the first KO on its holder gives you 1 fewer Prize, so an all-single-Prize board needs 7 KOs.
Your prize plan
- Greedy Fang is your main attack. Dhelmise and Banette are Weak to Darkness: 70 ×2 = 140 KOs Dhelmise (140) for one Energy and draws 2.
- Boss's Orders the next Dhelmise. Pull the Benched one that has Energy before it swings; Dhelmise has Retreat Cost 3.
- Stretch their two-hit math. After an Anchor, Adrena-Brain moves 3 counters off Sharpedo onto a Dhelmise (no Hide 'n' Sneak). Two Munkidori undo 60 per turn.
- Hungry Jaws for their ex. Latias ex (210) takes 240 even undamaged; Clefairy ex (190), Bloodmoon Ursaluna ex (260) and Dudunsparce ex (270) fall to 270.
Against an Active Dhelmise (140 HP, Weak to Darkness)
Don't
- Leaving a Sharpedo at 170 HP or less in the Active: the next Anchor takes 3 Prizes. Move counters off it or retreat it for free (Retreat Cost 0).
- KOing Shuppet, Banette or Poltchageist when a Dhelmise is available: each one in the discard brings Matcha Spin (6) and Spiritomb (13) closer.
- Benching three 70-HP Basics once Sinistcha is online: Matcha Spin leaves them at 30, easy single Prizes.
Key turn
- The turn they reach 4 in the discard: KO the first Dhelmise right away with Greedy Fang so they never get two Anchors on one Sharpedo.
- Before the second hit on the same Sharpedo: reset it with Adrena-Brain or a free retreat.
If they play…
Watchful Eye stops Adrena-Brain from moving counters. Team Rocket's Watchtower turns it off, since Patrat is Colorless.
With 13 in their discard, Spiritual End quadruples counters on 2 Pokémon. Keep self-damage on Sharpedo low late in the game.
Tenacious Tail does 60 per Pokémon ex you have in play. Keep Pecharunt ex and Fezandipiti ex off the board when you can.
Sharpedo Toxtricity vs Ogerpon Meganium Hydrapple
Mega Sharpedo ex and Carvanha are weak to Grass, so almost every attacker they have KOs Sharpedo in one hit for 3 Prizes. Cut their engine with your Stadiums and Meganium KOs, and make every Sharpedo hit count.
Their plan
- Grass Weakness: Teal Mask Ogerpon ex with 2 Grass and Meganium hits a 2-Energy Sharpedo for 210, doubled to 420: 3 Prizes in one attack.
- Tapu Bulu: Wood Hammer's 220 doubles to 440. A 1-Prize Pokémon trades for your 3-Prize Sharpedo.
- Hydrapple ex: 330 HP, and Ripening Charge heals 30 when it attaches Energy, so two-turn KOs rarely land.
- Forest of Vitality lets them build Meganium or Hydrapple ex the same turn they play the Basic.
Your prize plan
- Replace Forest of Vitality. Team Rocket's Watchtower also shuts off Meowth ex; Gravity Mountain drops Hydrapple ex to 300 and Meganium to 130.
- KO Meganium early. Hungry Jaws (270) KOs it Active; on the Bench, Cruel Arrow (100) plus 2 Adrena-Brain (60) makes exactly 160. Without it their Grass Energy counts once.
- KO Hydrapple ex in one turn. Hungry Jaws + Binding Mochi + Adrena-Brain is 340; under Gravity Mountain, 310 is enough.
- Keep one Sharpedo in play at a time. Two Sharpedo KOs are 6 Prizes; Toxtricity's Gentle Slap (100) KOs Dipplin, Celebi, Chikorita or Applin for 1 Prize.
Against an Active Hydrapple ex (330 HP)
Don't
- Sending Sharpedo Active without a KO that turn: any Ogerpon or Hydrapple ex attack doubles past 330. Bring it up with Subjugating Chains when it attacks.
- Leaving Forest of Vitality in play: every turn it stays, they can rebuild Meganium from a single Chikorita.
- Splitting damage across two turns on Hydrapple ex: Ripening Charge heals 30 and their next hit takes 3 Prizes.
Key turn
- Their turn 2: if Forest of Vitality is gone and Meganium isn't up, Ogerpon needs 3 Grass to attack. Play your Stadium and Judge before that turn.
- Your first Hungry Jaws: take a 2-Prize ex (Teal Mask Ogerpon ex at 210 dies to 270) and have the next Sharpedo charged on the Bench.
If they play…
Itchy Pollen locks Binding Mochi and Poké Pad. Abilities still work: 270 plus both Adrena-Brain (330) KOs Hydrapple ex exactly.
Noctowl is Colorless: Team Rocket's Watchtower turns off Jewel Seeker as well as Meowth ex's Last-Ditch Catch.
Sharpedo Toxtricity vs Dragapult Blaziken
You're ahead: Mega Sharpedo ex (330) takes two of their 200-damage hits, while your boosted Hungry Jaws KOs a 320-HP Dragapult ex or Blaziken ex every turn. Three such KOs win.
Their plan
- Phantom Dive: 200 to the Active plus 6 counters on your Bench. Carvanha, Toxel and Tatsugiri (70) fall to those 6 counters + 1 from their Munkidori.
- Smolder-sault: Blaziken ex hits 200 for [R][C], and Seething Spirit reattaches Energy from their discard each turn, so they rarely run out of attackers.
- Chi-Yu's Ground Melter: 120 with a Stadium in play, then it discards that Stadium. That's how they remove your Gravity Mountain.
- Budew: Itchy Pollen blocks Binding Mochi, Poké Pad and Ultra Ball for a turn. Sinister Surge and Subjugating Chains are Abilities and still work.
Your prize plan
- Turn 2 combo on their Active ex. Sinister Surge to a Benched Sharpedo, Subjugating Chains to promote and poison it, attach the second Energy, Binding Mochi: Hungry Jaws for 310.
- Add 30 for the KO. 310 is 10 short of 320: one Adrena-Brain makes 340. Move counters from Toxtricity or Pecharunt ex and leave at least one on Sharpedo.
- Gravity Mountain shortcuts it. Their Stage 2s drop to 290, so Hungry Jaws + Binding Mochi (310) or Hungry Jaws + 1 Adrena-Brain (300) KO without the rest.
- Race in 2-Prize steps. Your Sharpedo (3 Prizes) needs two of their hits; their ex need one of yours. Spend Hungry Jaws on Dragapult ex and Blaziken ex, not Drakloak.
Against an Active Dragapult ex or Blaziken ex (320 HP), damaged Sharpedo
Don't
- Draining every counter off Sharpedo with Adrena-Brain: with none left, Hungry Jaws drops from 270 to 120.
- Benching spare Basics: every 70-HP Carvanha, Toxel or Tatsugiri is a Phantom Dive target, and their Risky Ruins puts 20 more on Tatsugiri and Munkidori.
- Leaving Toxtricity as your only energy engine: two turns of Bench counters KO its 140 HP. Keep the second Toxel ready to evolve.
Key turn
- Your turn 2: KO their first Dragapult ex or Blaziken ex before Drakloak draws and Seething Spirit give them a second attacker.
- When Chi-Yu removes Gravity Mountain: have Mochi plus Subjugating Chains, or two Adrena-Brain, ready so the next Hungry Jaws still reaches 320.
If they play…
Fairy Zone only touches your Tatsugiri (Dragon). Hungry Jaws (270) KOs its 190 HP for 2 Prizes.
Binding Mochi stops working. Use two Adrena-Brain (330), or play Gravity Mountain over their Tower.
Flower Curtain protects their Bench from attack damage. You only hit the Active, so your plan doesn't change.
