Ditto will see play in most stage 1 decks because it can work as a basic for not just your main stage 1s but also any tech stage 1s you want to add like zebrastrika, muk, ect. Zebra will see a ton of play for obvious reasons in a format with limited draw support, and sightseer will join Cynthia...

You can use as many as you want per turn, the main issue I see with this deck is Slugma feels like a constraining factor. Ideally you want 2 GX and 2 normal Maggies in play so you can get 2 uses of each ability, plus a manual attachment so you can stream attacks turn after turn. Turtornator will...

So those electric support cards are incredible, electric is a type again. Mountain can only be bumped by another stadium, and stadiums aren't easy to find on-demand without Skyla around. This lets Zorocat hit for base 160 for LC iirc, 190 with choice band which is perfect for killing Buzzwole...

Either Greninja BREAK or Empoleon, Garchomp might be nice too.

I think the main worry with these games is if they do well, like in other franchises that have done the 'casual/hardcore split', you will start seeing more casual branch features imported into the hardcore branch until they're indistinguishable from one another. This is the first mainline...

I hope they keep us aligned honestly, it's befuddling that the international format both gets cards later and removes cards earlier than in Japanese Standard. Surprised to see no DDE whatsoever in Rayquaza lists but I guess max elixir and the ability are enough. Rayquaza actually has some...

Absolutely. I made my suggestions assuming you were interested in playing a deck that worked sort of like Garde PRC, but Gardevoir-GX is actually a pretty competitive deck right now. It's not been that popular in the meta recently but is 3rd place in total challenge points earned this...

Megas in general are not very good right now, this is mostly because 1. Field Blower makes it hard to keep spirit links on 2. GX cards have largely powercrept them, and the lack of access to choice band really hurts their damage:energy ratios compared to GX cards 3. Rotation took away mega...

Buzzwole is still a card with some very nasty power play potential, Lisia gives the card a very consistent way to hit beast energy and diancie t1 which lets you donk any basic. I think you'll need to find new partners, beast box might actually be a thing, but I can't see this card not having at...

I think you need to look at a non-conventional engine for this because Bulu is flat out better as a Vikavolt acceleration target. Maybe even the mostly forgotten Dragonair SUM in conjunction with Lady. You need 6 energy on the field to get OHKOs out and Lady gets you to 4. I think there's...

Short answer: Yeah Long answer: PTCG card design is locked into a power creep spiral atm and basically every set since SM base, with the exception of SM5 has given us a new BDIF, the tier 1 decks shift with every set, probably because TPCI wants to shift more packs of new sets to prevent...

100 packs will get you any standard deck you want online, Lele is about 20-25ish and you seldom need more than two, the rest of your deck put together will usually cost less than your Leles.

Staples - Cynthia - 4 of every deck Guzma - 3 or 4 every deck Steven - 1 of every deck except Kiawe decks, this is basically the ideal t1 play for most non-Kiawe decks. Copycat - At least 1 in every deck, higher counts in metas with higher Zoroark presence Judge - Most decks will want to run...

People are generally aware of the attack, why it's not used is 1. Decks that take advantage of this are evolution heavy decks already, and when you keep pumping up your pokemon count past around 18-20, you start seeing pretty big drops in consistency, and as it's an evolution, you need at least...

Pokemon: Anything not mentioned is filler imo Trainers:
