This was really informative. Thank you so much!Primeape seemed like a really effective deterrent in the first round you showed. I also realize now how much I need a x speed
Sandslash and Dugtrio are also really good with Marowak Ex. Dugtrio having a 50% chance of being protected when using dig has saved me a number of times when I need energy. Although often my opponent has been using Sabrina when that happens, but that also means they don't have that Sabrina for later. I've won matches with Dugtrio just because my opponent didn't have a Sabrina in their hand and my Dugtrio got a heads 4 times in a row, which is a 1/16 chance. Sandslash is nearly as good as primeape, but has more life and doesn't need to be damaged to deal decent damage. With a Giovani I can kill a lot of things since 80 hp is very common.
Agreed, both Dugtrio and Sandslash can be other nice options, especially for those who don't have promo Mankey. Fighting has a lot of different viable partners for Marowak ex right now which is cool. Really lets you customize your deck in a lot of different ways.
I like that you said the Mankey/primeape isn’t as great as advertised. It’s awesome if you can attack first with mankey and have primeape in hand. But primeape gets one shot by starmie ex. Sandslash is way more consistent. And it can 2 shot a lot of the exs when primeape without damage cannot
Love to see the two different playstyles with the deck!

Yeah I think Mankey/Primeape is a bit of a glass cannon strategy. When it works, it's amazing. But it's pretty risky.
