    Standard Lapras / Frosmoth

    I think the Lillie's Poké Dolls are expendable. With most decks playing 2-3 Boss's Orders, your opponent can play around it.

    Standard Lapras / Frosmoth

    Any reason why you're not running any Capacious Bucket? It's by far the best card Lapras VMAX got with Rebel Clash. Also something to consider is Dawn Wings Necrozma GX because it allows you to promote it to the active with it's ability so you can accelerate to the bench with Frosmoth and it...

    Help Post Standard Zacian V Deck Ideas

    Considering rotation is still four months away, I don't think people are creating deck lists for post rotation right now. We're also getting another set in August which hasn't been fully revealed yet. I would take a look at the Zacian lists doing well now, remove the cards that are rotating...

    'League Battle Decks' Info Revealed, Replacing Battle Arena Decks!

    I'm assuming that the Reshizard deck doesn't have Jirachi because it's a Green's Exploration build which wouldn't use Jirachi.

    Standard Post Team Up Malamar Deck

    Team Up Malamar is the deck I'm most excited about right now in the SuMo-Team Up meta. I've only played 5-6 games with it and I'm still trying to find the optimal 60 cards, but I'm having fun playing it. Here's my current list. ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** ##Pokémon - 17...

    News Japan's First 2019 Sets: 'Night Unison,' 'Full Metal Wall'

    Lt. Surge is insane. I feel like it needs to be banned in Expanded immediately. Really like Venomoth-GX. I'm loving the GXs that have specific Supporters and other cards designed just for them (ie: Onix-GX and Starmie-GX). Makes me think that we'll see one for every Kanto Gym leader?

    Discussion Why Banning DCE is stupid-the score settled

    I think there’s some merit to banning DCE in Expanded, but let’s be honest, it’s not going to happen. Pokemon doesn’t aggressively monitor Expanded format. I could make a case to ban more than just DCE (cards like Dimension Valley and Battle Compressor come to mind) that would make the format...

    Standard Zoroark-GX/Banette-GX (Post-Rotation)

    Looking for some feedback on my Zoroark/Banette post-rotation deck. I think it has a lot of potential but feel like it can be optimized, especially the Supporter/Item counts. ****** Pokémon Trading Card Game Deck List ****** ##Pokémon - 18 * 4 Zorua PR-SM SM83 * 4 Zoroark-GX PR-SM SM84 * 3...

    Standard Metagross-GX (Post-Rotation)

    Here's my first crack at building a post-rotation deck. I wanted to try Metagross-GX because I believe it is better positioned going into the new format. I decided to focus more on the GX rather than the new Metagross that came out in Celestial Storm because while it is a great one-prize...

    Alt. Format (Post-2018 Rotation) Beast Box ft. Trump

    Max Potion? The biggest strength of Naganadel-GX/Beast Box to me is being able to 2HKO things for one Energy while spamming Max Potion.

    Standard Rayquaza GX / Vikavolt (SUM - On)

    I was just thinking about building this deck yesterday for my first post-rotation deck. I think your list looks solid but I would make a few personal changes. +1 Rayquaza-GX / -1 Choice Band Being your main attacker and a source for energy acceleration, I think four is needed. I'd probably cut...

    Standard Beast Wars!! (Naganadel/Buzzwole)

    I think you should be running at least 3 Ultra Space. Being able to consistency grab Ultra Beasts is key. I think a 3-1 Ultra Space/Parallel City split is good. I don't think the second Oranguru is really needed. Overall, I think it looks good!

    Standard Buzzwole-GX Isn't the Only Pokémon That Can Abuse Beast Ring! (Dusk Mane Necrozma GX)

    Oranguru has pulled it's weight. The extra draw power, however small, has help me greatly in many games. I was running 2 Beast Ring but was having difficulty drawing it when needed. I think 3 is the sweet spot. I would like a fourth Guzma. I was running four but I cut one for something, can't...

    Standard Buzzwole-GX Isn't the Only Pokémon That Can Abuse Beast Ring! (Dusk Mane Necrozma GX)

    I've been playing this list online with good results. Awhile back I posted a Turbo Dusk Mane Necrozma-GX deck on here. This is an updated list with Beast Ring and a few other significant changes to account for the upcoming Meta that will undoubtedly be littered with Buzzwole-GX. This deck has...

    Standard First Deck: Greninja GX/Alolan Ninetales GX

    Welcome to the forums! For your first deck, I think you have a great start. I would recommend removing the following: -1 Type: Null -1 Silvally-GX -1 Fire Memory Silvally-GX offers no benefit to this deck. Greninja-GX and Alolan Ninetales-GX are not Basics so they don't gain free retreat. And...
