Gouging Fire Dragonair Deck DNA
Copies are allocated with a largest-remainder calculation from aggregate copies per deck and capped at two per card. Inclusion percentages and matchup results remain visible below so you can see where lists disagree.
Across the sample, Gouging Fire, Dragonair, Rainbow Cave, Professor's Research, and Poké Ball form the stable core: each appeared in at least 75% of tracked Gouging Fire Dragonair lists. Start with these slots when reproducing the archetype.
Dratini, Pokémon Center Lady, and Small Balloon had lower adoption than the core. These are the first slots to compare against your expected opponents or available collection rather than copying automatically.
There is not enough matchup data for this archetype yet.
Daily snapshots preserve trends; card roles come from inclusion rates; matchup uncertainty is shown explicitly; player identities and private ownership are never stored. Matchups ordered by sample size. The range is a 95% Wilson interval, which prevents tiny samples from looking more certain than they are.
Statistics are aggregated from public standard-Swiss Pokemon TCG Pocket tournaments on Limitless Tournament Platform. Player identity and individual deck ownership are not retained.
Expansion sets and booster packs that supply Gouging Fire Dragonair’s core Pokémon (used in at least half of tracked decklists).
Guides selected from explicit entity references first, with conservative title matching as a fallback.
