Top 3 decks for Venusaur EX event solo battles
The Venusaur EX event solo battles are showcasing decks consisting of Grass and Normal-type Pokemon. To see all the deck lists for the solo event battles, refer to this article.
Bearing this in mind, it makes sense to exploit the Grass-type’s inherent vulnerability to Fire in solo battles during the Venusaur EX event. Although Fighting-type cards could be used to target the Normal-type Pokemon, remember that some Fighting-types are likewise weak to Grass.
Therefore, the go-to decks for this event would be those comprised exclusively of Fire-type Pokemon.
Blaine deck (Simply Affordable Fire deck)
- Vulpix x 2
- Ninetales x 2
- Ponyta x 2
- Rapidash x 2
- Blaine x 2
- Sabrina x 2
- Professor’s Research x 2
- Poke Ball x 2
- X Speed x 2
- Potion x2
This Fire-type deck is simple to put together, with a majority of the cards being easily attainable.
Rapidash and Ninetales form a potent combination to counter the Grass-types in the Venusaur EX solo battles. Their low energy costs enable them to make quick work of adversaries before they can gather enough energy for a counterattack.
Blaine’s game-changing ability to add an extra +30 damage to Rapidash or Ninetales’ attacks elevates this deck to new levels, allowing it to easily topple even the sturdiest of Grass-type Pokemon.
Even if you don’t have Blaine, this deck still manages to perform admirably.
Moltress EX & Arcanine
- Growlithe x 2
- Arcanine EX x 2
- Moltress EX x 2
- Ponyta x 2
- Rapidash x 2
- Sabrina x 2
- Professor’s Research x 2
- Poke Ball x 2
- X Speed x 2

Lay waste to everything with this potent Arcanine EX deck in the Venusaur EX solo battles and make it all go up in smoke with a single fiery attack!
This deck is crafted with the aim of unleashing Arcanine’s maximum potential as fast as possible. The strategy is based around a two-step combo:
- Start with Moltress EX to feed energy into a benched Growlithe/Arcanine EX.
- Once Arcanine is fully charged, it can dominate the game with its powerful Inferno Onrush attack.
Rapidash plays a key role in this deck, providing initial damage and serving as a contingency if Moltress’ Inferno Dances doesn’t provide extra energy.
Moltress EX & Charizard EX
- Charmander x 2
- Charmeleon x 2
- Charizard EX x 2
- Moltress EX x 2
- Heatmor x 2
- Sabrina x 2
- Professor’s Research x 2
- Poke Ball x 2
- X Speed x 2
- Potion x2
Command the power of flames with Charizard EX, the ruler of all fires!
This deck harnesses the formidable power of Charizard EX, while acknowledging the time requirement for evolution and charging up. The role of Moltress EX becomes crucial here. It not only tanks incoming attacks, but also uses its Inferno Dance ability to generate power for Charizard, setting the path for it to eventually take command of the battlefield.
If Moltress EX doesn’t draw early, Heatmor serves as a dependable alternative. Its ability to maintain steady damage and withstand attacks buys crucial turns. It can even endure multiple blows from a powerful Pokemon like Kangaskhan, providing you with time to either draw into Moltress EX or build up Charizard EX on the bench.
