The Haymaker TCG deck is a deck that uses fast, bulky, hard-hitting basics. Usually, it will be basics with HP of 70 or higher with a powerful one energy attack. The classic Haymaker trio is Hitmonchan and Electabuzz from the base set, then Scyther from Jungle. Sometimes Fossil Magmar, base Dragonair, and Fossil Hitmonlee have been known to make their way onto a Haymaker deck. It has plenty of Trainer cards seeing as the number of Pokemon and Energy is low. Pluspower is a classic Haymaker card, as it allows for greater power from your team. Scoop Up and Pokemon Center are other popular Haymaker Trainers. A sample Haymaker is:
