Made 3 Dragapult enjoyers ragequit back to back to BACK in Master league. Life’s so good rn.
I heard that FL is going to be even more scary with the upcoming Pitch Black release. Really looking forward to that! 🎊
Can't get an early game bastiodon out of my head. If one were to commit to trick portal for setup like this, what improvements could be made?
I came across mega sharpedo and realized it could have some good synergy with toxtricty, so I decided to give my hand at deck building for the first time. Im open to opinions and thoughts of improvement to the deck
I would be lying if I said I didnt take just a lil inspiration from LittleDarkFury this time. Any feedback?
One thing I am considering is throwing a Black Kyurem Ex becuz apparently its an answer to Dragapult.
Now that we have deck stats, what do you think is a reasonable sample size to say a deck is potentially good? 50? 100 matches?
I spend most of my time making funky decks and trying out different decks builds, like an archaludon duduns vs an archaludon drakloak, different builds of hydreigon ex and so on. Some of them I consider interesting yet I almost never take them to locals even though I wish, because I make so many different builds it's hard to know which one is the best and I find it hard to decide, and I was too lazy to keep track on a separate app.
Obviously ptcgl is different from local meta,some opponents will concede or afk, the random bug might make an appearance, etc..
So considering all these factors, what do you think is the minimum sample size to say a non meta deck might do well IRL?
Are we in a OHKO meta? I've been playing for less than a year so I can't compare it to previous metas. More specifically, are decks trying to get to a 320 HP attack to OHKO Dragapult?
Hello all! I have been having a bunch of fun playing with this Metagross deck, which I have slightly adjusted based on what I see locally/online. My biggest issue, however, is being unable to deal with Mega Lucarios or Single Prize decks. I can't find a way to OHKO a Mega Lucario without Heatran, which requires a lot of energy. Taking more than one turn to KO Mega Lucario can be very troublesome due to the constant retreating (Air Balloons and Switch) and Wally Compassions that undo my progress. With Single Prize decks, my Genesect is targeted frequently with Boss's Orders, leaving me at a huge disadvantage.
Is there any recommendations for how I should play against these matchups or what I should change from my deck?
If I have Lillie's Determination in my hand and it is the only card in my hand, can i use it if my deck only has 4 cards left? Or can I not use it if i dont have exactly 6 cards? Im at a build and battle and ran into this.
I play mega lucario with the 2-2 Hakiyama line. I also see people using dudunsparce, but today, in a mirror matchup, i saw a version that had neither. Instead he ran dachsbun to heal his mega lucario, which i thought seemed quite smart. I won, but barely. I'm still quite new so this looked unusual to me, i apologize if it's actually common.
I understand wallys serves the same purpose, but it's easier to pull the dachs than the wally.
What do you guys think about running dachs in mega lucario?
Out of curiosity, if I were to play a regular Feraligatr deck (obv one from Temporal Forces) with Relicanth, would the standard Temporal Forces Croconaw be better than the Ascended Heroes Croconaw? Temporal Forces Croconaw gives Feraligatr a pivot back to the bench, while Ascended Heroes Croconaw would basically be a crushing hammer that you could use every turn.
Hello guys ! I am new to Pokemon TCG.
I just recently join around 2 weeks and been borrowing my friends Ceruledge deck and trying to build my first ever deck. My friend suggest to build Dhelmise Pitch Black deck since its very easy to learn as well.
But i wanna ask what is the point of putting Flutter Mane in the deck? What does this Pokemon counter with?
Fun combo. Opponent chooses the 3 best cards, then you put them on the bottom of their deck.
I am not asking for something meta, but just something I can easily make and have a decent time grinding ranked. Have not played since raging bolt was viable
I’ve noticed even in BO1 tourneys, people in the west prefer playing hammers more.
The idea of this deck is to cycle energy that is discarded by Mega Charizard X back into play using Team Rocket's Spidop's ability. With 3 Spidops on the bench, the deck can effectively do 270 damage for free each turn. Dudunsparse and N's Zoroark are there for a draw engine, and N's plan is a neat card that can satisfy the attack cost of Mega Charizard X without needing to retreat. Buncha Team Rocket's Petrel stuff to search out Precious Trolley and other things.
Enjoy the deck, and feel free to make suggestions or comment about the deck!

I wish I could write pokemon online directly (is there a way?) to vent my frustration on building a deck now. I can't read these shine rare cards at a glance, I must zoom in, and sometimes, I still can't read them. This seems unfair to those that have problem eyesight.. this was added in at some point and has no reason to be this way. If they want to have an OPTION to sort cards shine first fine, but its forced upon me, I dislike that. I didn't ask for it, did anyone? Anyone else hate this? I complained awhile back about this, but my word. :p V_V
