I never said skill didn't matter I only tried to explain how it's not a requirement as you defined his deck and garbo as "skillful". I never once even so much as implied that he wasn't a good player. No deck or card has a prerequisite to be skilled, skill is simply a measure of how well you can...

@poke4trade I am finding it really hard to agree with basically anything you are saying so this will be my last response. Choosing to play or setting priority on garbo in a match you don't need it in is playing stupid, and by choosing to play smart doesn't make it a skillful card. I dunno how...

But that's exactly my point, it's not a turn one card, and the very idea of trying to make that happen is nothing but an awful deck, my point wasn't about consistently getting him out turn 1-2, just simply getting him out when you need him without your opponent already having an answer for it...

I have tested garbo in Yveltal, Giratina, mewtwo, raichu, and scizor decks ever since we got news of the rotation and I have to say I don't like him at all. Hundreds of matches and I would have to say maybe only 10% of them he came through. In my early testing I even bumped it to a 3-3 line with...

We both agree that magearna isn't that useful and it's not shocking light but the paralysis but I agree that Olympia should be good enough. In tournament play I would switch out magearna for pokemon ranger. Mega Tubro isn't that big a deal, let me explain my experiences thus far when up...

@PMJ I am also running the heavy energy denial though so giratina doesn't bother me much, whether they run fairy or dark I can either hex like you mentioned or just snipe there bench. Yeah I chose to go with olympia for my switch tech because of how tight the space is and because its a...

Nice article! I have been loving my scizor deck and have been playing around with it a lot, and I have ultimately found dropping garb to be better in place of less costly tech and more consistency, I'm finding garb to just be to clunky, and I can never get him out when I need to, and when I do...

I have yet to lose a single game against mewtwo with my scizor deck, even when my opponent plays smart and opts out of the mega to secure his damage change it isn't enough, his energy cost is still higher than mine by 3 psychic energy minimum and 4 maximum, and with crushing hammers and chained...

I find Wobbuffet to be better than Garbo in almost every single way in the current format in so many different ways. Pros - It's actually a good attacker - It's a basic (Can lock down shaymin's turn one whether you go fist or not) - Doesn't need an Item - 10 more HP - Takes less space away from...

not a single one of you people have yet to mention a viable ability centric deck that cannot function without its abilities that isn't greninja, let me help you out, ill mention one, volcanion, any others? And before you mention things like Yanmega, they don't get shut down by having there...

@unrealtairo that is the very point though, people who are against garbo use greninja as there data point because its the best ability centric deck and probably the only viable one, and people who are pro garbo also use greninja as there data point to explain why it wont matter as much as they...

I never once mentioned greninja needing to setup 4 breaks at once to combat any given situation at all, I merely stated the efforts required to setup just one while facing a 210+ hp pokemon who has already begun its onslaught

your never going to get enough dmg on megas if you ever even get the chance to attack, lets be honest here, how many turns minimum does it take to setup a single greninja break? a perfect start without needing talonflame to get everything you need is walling out a frogadier and using water...

@unrealtairo Garbo isn't the reason why megas are popular right now, its that the meta has changed to accommodate their cost and they no longer lose on the prize exchange with heavy hitting non ex pokemon like nm. I honestly can't see any reason how you could even come to this conclusion, can...

Delinquent is in a wierd spot for me, it's usually just a weaker N, it's so hard to punish people with this card, at least with the decks I play anyways. It has 2 conditions were as N has none and is versatile in early and late game. I actually have found a 1 of ace trainer to be far more...
