    Help Lost to some grass deck using the new Vileplume. Could not beat it.

    Beat me to it. Salazzle GX can overcome this, and in general is not a bad late-game sweeper. I would probably only run a 1-1 or 2-2.

    Discussion What decks should I look into getting for the new Standard format?

    Tapu Koko (Promo) and Tapu Lele-GX are often used to attack, although Lele is primarily support. Mostly you'll be attacking with Ninetails.

    Standard Crabominable / Tapu Koko Post BUS

    Mew EX would defeat the point of the deck, which is to win the Prize trade with 1-prize attackers (Crab) that can 2HKO or 1HKO after being softened up by Koko.

    Standard PostRotation Raichu GX/Raikou

    This is an old post, but I think it's awesome! I think you need to drop those Random Receivers for a couple Leles to start. Gets you a high chance of Turn 1 Brigitte/accelerates your setup early, and grabs Clemont to fuel Magnetic Circuit. Energy Pouch is an interesting tech, but I don't...

    Standard Lunatone/Raticate BREAK/Toxapex (Post Burning Shadows)(First Deck)

    How are you activating Toxic Spikes from Toxapex? I assume you're going for some sort of Poison+Super Fang OHKO, but I don't really see how. I would cut Super Scoop Up, your Raticate are going to be dead after Super Fang is used and your opponent breathes on them. In the same vein, remove...

    Help Does Vika/Bulu Struggle Against Decks Like Rayquaza, Metagross, and Decidueye/Ninetales?

    I've seen a lot of people play Fighting Fury Belt in VikaBulu, that would give you just enough HP to survive (unless they Kukui), correct? That could help. Not sure there's much to tech again Volcanion. Might be better to not waste deck space teching much against it and accept the loss. If...

    Help Does Vika/Bulu Struggle Against Decks Like Rayquaza, Metagross, and Decidueye/Ninetales?

    So you post a thread asking for help, someone disagrees with you, and you're suddenly the sole authority on VikaBulu?? You need to post a "help" thread to repair your own ego or something? The matchups aren't great, but there's always room for improvement. Perhaps you can try tossing in a few...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    As a returning player, I was just about to ask for/research this. Thank you for saving me a bunch of work. ^^;

    Standard Huntoise (Huntail / Blastoise)

    -4 DCE -1 N -1 Colress -1 Blastoise -1 Squirtle You can't accelerate DCE with Deluge and shouldn't ever need it - you have a ton of Water energy and Professor's Letter. Huntail's main attack is only 1 Water anyway. N is too situational to be at 4 and can be replaced with better draw power...

    Standard Poison Swipe (Doublade / Victreebel)

    True. The major grass threat is VirGen, and they already block Poison anyway, so I guess it's not as big of a pain as I thought. Edit: Didn't wanna double post. Ace spec??

    Standard Poison Swipe (Doublade / Victreebel)

    Ariados was sooo close to being the perfect Pokemon for 10HP+Poison decks. Damn! lol.

    Standard Poison Swipe (Doublade / Victreebel)

    Most decent decks will be able to play around Rocky Helmet pretty quickly, between Megaphone, Lysandre, and any kind of Switch card. Hope the replacement cards fair you much better. :) I think I like the Dedenne/Trick Coin/Fliptini swap. Dedenne is for sure nice to have early game. I used...

    Standard Poison Swipe (Doublade / Victreebel)

    Cool cool. I tried to make Gorgeist work for the longest but never got the ratios and card choices just right lol. The coinflip on Bronzong is just so off-putting. Fliptini is nice to get around that, I'm worried about him getting Lysandre'd, or having to search him taking one piece away...

    Standard Poison Swipe (Doublade / Victreebel)

    Doublade over Gourgeist XY? Doublade has DCE but Gourgeist has no coin flip.

    Gourgeist / Golbat

    Man I want to play Shadow Triad sooo badly in this deck, but it falls just short of being good enough lol. Yeah being able to grab the clutch Gourgeist is nice when you don't have to spend your supported on Trump. Good changes, looking forward to see how it tests!
