    Standard Metagross Standard

    I think, the first thing to focus on is knowing what matchups need what boards. For example: Ultra Necrozma GX / Malamar - Dehlmise is key here. You dont need to set up your ultra necroz, or the baby metagross. Just make your you have 1 Dehlmise and Choice band and your Metagross GX will always...

    Standard Metagross GX Post Rotation

    Have you tried putting in either 2x Ultra Necrozma or 2x Dusk Mane GX? They work amazingly against zoroark and even other metagross decks. 220 +30 (Choice band) hits other metagross for big suprises. Also 220 takes out Zoroark, and usually they have no way to deal 190 back. (Golosipod can only...

    Standard Metagross GX Post Rotation

    Ok, first off you NEED 4x Choice band. Choice band lets Metagross hit 180, and with 1 Dehlmise hits the magic number of 190 to One hit any stage 1 GX. Take out 2 Frying pan for 2 Choice band. Second off, you only need one lillie, I would take one out for an apricorn maker. Post rotaion its a...

    Discussion Cards Rotating Out

    So to keep the BREAK pokemon... they would have to make it Breakthrough and onwards? No other way right? Otherwise, if they REALLy want to get rid of all the EX pokemon they go with Sun & Moon onwards. Interesting. Honestly I cant decide which i like better. I do love the BREAK pokemon...

    Discussion Cards Rotating Out

    Dang it would hurt if that happens, I probably would have to play expanded till I could afford the next best option for a budget deck. (All of my cards are XY to Steam Seige currently. Hmm, we will see.

    Help The "What Deck Should I Play?" Thread

    Any good budget decks that dont use any EX pokemon beside Typhlosion and AOR Gyardos? Currently I cannot find any right now. Best I could find was a mill deck, and I dont know if those are very competitive right now.

    Discussion Cards Rotating Out

    My theory is that it will be Breakthrough and on. This is to keep in line with evolution cards now being powerful and BREAK pokemon are essentially the same thing. Also as an aside, I am just getting back into the game and currently I am just opening Breakthrough packs for multiple cards and...

    Standard PTCGO: Build Typhlosion OR Gyarados?

    Agreed, And i think i am leaning that direction more and more. Been testing both decks on TCG One and Gyarados is by far the more consistent. Also i just found out that Packs you recive from quests....are tradeable...huh that makes things much eaiser. (Got a Roaring skies pack, tempted to...

    Standard PTCGO: Build Typhlosion OR Gyarados?

    As a F2P player i have narrowed down my options to these two. I love both decks and how they work. I have all the cards except for 4 for each deck. I need either 4x Typhlosion OR 4x Team Magma Secret Base for Gyarados. To get 4 typhlosion i need 8 SM packs. Where as to get 3 - 4 Secret Base...

    Post Rotation Rainbow Road deck

    Damage is not the problem though. Its speed. We need at least 2 turns to fully set up a Xerneas. Where as they only need one DCE on a Mega to knock us out.

    Post Rotation Rainbow Road deck

    Actually what i was debating with the op is that.... you dont need sky field. You already have the max damage you could ever need with a full bench of 5. 10 + Fighting Belt +10 + 7 pokemon types (2 are dual) = 230. You can instead focus on locking down the fields zone with Ninetails. You...

    Post Rotation Rainbow Road deck

    Yeah thats the main idea. I get that field on my second turn going first around 75% of the time i would say. (Estimate) And even if i dont hit mega levels of damage, if i can reach 170 -200 i am in good condition. Because your opponent probably doesnt have a mega up yet beside maybe Mega ray.

    LOL Max Elixir / Max potion! Lol ok now i get it Hmm, that could work. 8 energy is about the minimum for that to work... yeah i can give it a try. Could help. Also here is my decklist just to make things easier. Pokemon: 17 4 - Xerneas 2x Remoraid 2x Octillary 2x Vulpix 1x Ninetails 2x...

    Got to say, feels great to talk about this deck with someone else! Ok so i have got a few questions. 1. How is level ball holding up? Right now i have been using Ultra ball and i havent ever thought i might need Level ball instead. Ultra also helps with Octillary to help draw more cards and...
