I was able to fulfill the “use a deck with 12 cards from Everyday Wonders” pretty quickly, as the set contains a new archetype whose Pokémon consisted only of one-star (that is, Common rarity) cards: the Puppy Pile archetype, building heavily on the Lillipup from Pulsing Aura by adding more Pokémon to help out the attack, alongside a Supporter card for it. This version no longer has 12 cards from the set, but another version, which had Kid’s Room instead of Bounded Field, did.
POKÉMON (10)
2x Lillipup (Pulsing Aura)
2x Growlithe (Everyday Wonders)
2x Yamper (Everyday Wonders)
2x Rockruff (Everyday Wonders)
2x Fidough (Everyday Wonders)
TRAINERS (10)
2x Bounded Field
2x Flame Patch
2x Poké Ball
2x Professor’s Research
2x Puppy-Loving Girl
Energy Zone: Fire
This is one of the few “box” class decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket in that it relies on mostly to exclusively Basic Pokémon, and who you attack with will depend on what deck your opponent is playing. Even then, there will usually be a theme with the Pokémon working together in some way, and in this case, it’s Pokémon with the Puppy Pile attack, which does 20 damage for each Pokémon in play and in your hand (added together) with that attack. Because it uses only Colorless Energy (albeit 2), the Puppy Pile Pokémon span a wide range of different types: Colorless (Lillipup), Fighting (Rockruff), Lightning (Yamper), Fire (Growlithe), and Psychic (Fidough). There is no Darkness one yet though (but Houndour or Maschiff could work with it), and the other types don’t have a Pokémon based on a puppy (to my knowledge). Note that their evolved forms are not present in this deck—they don’t have the Puppy Pile attack, so they’re not needed. (Everyday Wonders does not have cards for Lycanroc, Boltund, Arcanine, or Dachsbun anyway.)
Despite their name and theming, with the Puppy-Loving Girl a little kid who accumulates puppies into your hand, this deck packs a wallop, as it’s very focused on said accumulation and, if you can get the right one out and are up against the right deck, deal double damage with Bounded Field, something that looks jarringly intense compared to anything else. And this is where the “box” aspect comes in: you want to have the attacker of the right type in. If your opponent has Pokémon weak to Lightning, use Yamper; if your opponent has Pokémon weak to Fighting, use Rockruff; etc.
Two of the Pokémon species play additional roles: Fidough has a Retreat Cost of 0, meaning it can work as a pivot if you’re unsure of who to bring out first, or to sit in the Active Spot if you’re going first. Growlithe, being a Fire-type, can receive discarded Energy via Flame Patch, allowing it to charge itself in one turn, but in return for increased HP (80, so still not much), it has a Retreat Cost of 3, meaning you commit yourself to it once it’s in the Active Spot.
Sometimes though, Bounded Field is not necessary, like what you see in this match. Had they gotten Mega Sceptile ex out though, I absolutely would’ve needed it, but knocking out a Mega Evolution Pokémon ex feels so satisfying.
