Blastoise Deck

I used to play the Chein Pao EX deck when it came out, and later thought it would be interesting to also include the Blastoise EX from the 151 set. There was way too much going on with the deck so, based upon the recommendation of a friend, I made alterations to the deck to make it more akin to Alex Chee's list from the Malaysia Regional League that happened back in October of 2023, where Chee placed 16th. I then made adjustments to the deck, thinking about it with the Charizard EX in mind, a deck that was frankly the bane of my existence when in dominated in my locals scene. In essense, Blastoise and Charizard have similarities in how the decks work. Both benefit from rare candy and draw support coming from either pidgeot EX or Bibarel. Both have a type of energy acceleration, though Blastoise definitely struggles with this one a bit more. So I went forth to figure out a way to make Blastoise work, and here's what I'm working with right now.
