Starmie can be just as aggressive as Pikachu as long as you find the evolution quickly. That matchup may be decided more based on who goes second and if the Mistys hit heads
I think if weakness wasn't a factor, Starmie Articuno would be the best deck, but since Pikachu gets the weakness advantage, that's the reason it's number 1.
The other advantage pika has his at list chipping away with a turn 1 attack with Peck and stuff like that. Where Articuno has to hit have Misty to have a meaningful attach turn 1 most of the time
@thezerolabtcg I mean, staryu also has a 1 cost attack. Starmie has the same attack as Pikachu, but the setup is that it's a stage 1, vs. Pikachu, where you have to have a bunch of bench fodder.
As a articuno/ starmie player I have no problem taking down pikachu decks. I’d say at least 50/50. Mewtwo seems harder to beat though

But now we have beautiful monkey promo deck witch destroy pika pika
@@Blaidd99 I certainly wouldn't say it "destroys" Pikachu. It has a decent matchup, but nothing special...

@@Conradd23 Yeah without evolution search in the game sadly, the difference between a stage 1 and a basic is pretty huge
Mewtwo is alot stronger in casual play, because even a 5 year old can win with a mewtwo deck if they get an ok hand. Thats why its the most hated
Mewtwo is so strong if you can get your evos early
