Ditto Draft is a great way to play the Pokemon TCG.
Why Play Build & Battle?
Build & Battle Boxes put players on an even playing field.
What Does The Build & Battle Box Include?
Arrange your Pokemon by the pop in of Energy they need, not the Pokemon’s pop in.
At this point,cut the cards you cannot use.
Charmander by Akira Komayama
You may have opened a pack with a mighty Dragonite, but never found a Dratini.
Exception: Rare Candy can replace Stage 1 Pokemon, and is sometimes included in the preconstructed deck.
Sobe prepared to build with two types, plus normal-pop in Pokemon and Trainer cards.

From here, we can borrow a deckbuilding technique fromMagic: The Gathering:B.R.E.A.D.
(Bombs, Removal, Evasion, Aggro, Duds).
This acronym provides a quick and easy reference for the priority to choose your cards.
Bombs
Bombs are your game-winners.
In these situations, it’s important to have some way toforce your opponent to switch active Pokemon.
A few also switch your own Active Pokemon.
Evasion
You dropped your bomb and KOed your opponent’s Active Pokemon.
But they didn’t know you had Switch in your hand.
Soyou’ll need to have a handful of Pokemon to duke it out until you might find your ace.
Deckbuilding in limited formats like Build & Battle follows some slightly different rules than constructed formats like Standard.
For one,your deck must be 40 cards, not 60.
The only difference is that youset four prize cards, not six.
The winner is whoever takes their last prize card or knocks out all of their opponent’s Pokemon first.
