Anyone have thoughts/experience on teaming up Dragapult with Charizard?
I’ve been picking up pieces to build Dragapult/Dusknoir as it has a lot of crossover with my Charizard deck, and I just noticed several people brought a Drag/Charizard deck to the Birmingham regional. (Example: https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/list/15283)
Anyone have experience with it? Is it just using two separate win cons while sharing an ability to find energy? Or is Dragapult more of an alternative draw engine to Pidgeot while also having more offensive use?

I've played a pult/zard build and it's pretty fun, though it makes the deck slightly too cumbersome for my liking. I've also tried the Greninja/Zard deck that Cobi Kawasaki played at whatever regional it was (sacramento I think?) and once again it was very fun and also just a little too cumbersome. While they both synergize with zard very well, I think you're better off just playing one or the other, especially in terms of consistency. If you're playing just one of the two you have a better chance at drawing into the right cards I think.
All that being said, don't let me stop you. It's a very fun deck, though I'd suggest Grand Tree over Trolley. Budew will slow down big stage 2 decks and Grand Tree will alleviate some of the pain caused by that item lock

Cool thanks! I’ve got a Grand Tree on order already.

My favorite play with the deck is Grand Tree duskull into dusknoir, play Briar, pop Dusknoir into a low HP bench pokemon, and then swing with Zard for a total of 4 prizes in one turn. Also a big fan of pop dusknoir, thorton, super rod clops and dusknoir back into the deck, grand tree dusknoir during the early/mid game. Granted, both of those plays are very draw dependent most of the time.
