How do you beat rod?

Use a electric deck.

Be sure to put some Raichus with Giga Shock in. Electrode with Chain Lightning is also a must.

No Jolteons!!!

Eevee's are bad, and you won't get your Jolteon in time.

ALL ELECTRIC DECK. No matter what anybody says, a deck that is all one type is a go.

Use an electric deck to do that customize your deck first...

I used a grass deck and beat him using mostly exeggutor and happened to take out I believe 5 of his Pokemon with it, and I used Pinsir for the other.

You need about 20 elitric Pokemon then about 10 or 15 grass pmokemon after that 5 or 10 trainer cards then mostly lightng enrgy cards the some grass enrgy cards. Thanks for reading hopes this helps

Electric is the way to go, but forget what the others say, I won the battle with Jolteon ALONE (The pin missile one) As long as your not stuffing your deck with shit, you should get it in time. Try for 20-20-20 in your deck. Thats 20 trainers, Pokemon and energy.

I destroyed him using a raindance deck
