Donk Decks Overview

This page will attempt to give a brief overview of various donk decks and how they function. Here it goes...

Porydonk - The goal of Porydonk is to eliminate all of your opponent's Pokemon on turn 1. It wipes out your opponent's bench by combining Seeker with Porygon2's PokePower. Each time you place Porygon2 down, it renews its ability. By continually placing Porygon2 down with Broken Time Space (BTS), you remove all of the opponent's bench. According to post black and white rules, you can't attack turn 1. Before the rules change, however, Drifblim with Boost Energy was commonly used to get rid of the opponent's active Pokemon. After the rules change, if you still want to win turn 1, you will have to replace Drifblim with a Pokemon like Shiftry, even though it is harder to set up.


Sabledonk - Sabledonk also eliminates all of your opponent's Pokemon (or wins by taking six prize cards). Like in most donk decks, Sableye is your ideal starter since it lets you go first. The goal of Sabledonk is to use cards like Crobat G, Jolteon ex, Jolteon Star, Zapdos, and Unown ! combined with Scoop Up, Mr. Fuji, Super Scoop Up, Devolution Spray, and PokeTurn to drop a large amount of damage counters on your opponent's Pokemon. Crobat G is probably the most useful of these cards.
Spread - This is, personally, one of my favorite donk decks to play. It uses Emboar or Blastoise combined with Espeon to repetitively access various effects. In order to do damage, it uses Forretress. In order to draw, it uses Shuckle. In order to heal, it uses Leafeon. This is a fun deck to play as well as an effective one.

These are the main donk decks that I have had experience with although I am sure their are many others. Hopefully you are interested in some of these decks. I will write individual articles on each of them. As always, thanks for reading!
