Hi all,

I just started playing in July. After getting absolutely bodied for months at my local tournament playing Pult and Lucario, I finally went 2-1-1 at my local last night playing Mega Starmie and I am stoked!

Last night I bricked hard against Slop Box. Was basically over by turn 3. Then I beat Mega Gengar and Mega Manectric and tied against Pult Hammers. I definitely made a few misplays but overall I was happy because I’d never won a game at my local before.

I really like this deck and I want to make it better. I was wondering if you had suggestions for my deck list.

I’m wondering about swapping Budew for a Shaymin for extra protection against Pult. Or maybe another stadium, but I’m not sure. Let me know what you think!

I have two rescues, and adopted the second one back in September. She really struggled to adapt and lived in my box spring before I took the cover off.

In many ways she has adjusted really well. If I am sitting down she will come and sit on me and purrs away. She and her brother play a lot and seem to really like each other.

But whenever I and up or am walking around the house she runs away and will not let me get close to her. I initially wasn’t bother by that, but it’s been 8 months. Her foster mom says she was able to pick the cat up anytime/anywhere no problem.

She is also very attracted to my scent. She steals my dirty socks and underwear, and she has occasionally peed on things that smell like me, including my clothes and unfortunately a leather pair of shoes. 😭 This seems to be (fingers crossed) very rare.

I’m seeking advice on how to get her more comfortable with me when I’m not sitting down. And how to stop the peeing outside the box. I am worried that I might not be the perfect home for her?
