Hi guys, I have my first LC of the season in just over a month, and it is gonna be expanded, unlike most of the other LCs. So I have made a rough list of what I intend to play for the event. Pokemon (13) 2 Yveltal (XY; 78) 2 Yveltal EX(XY; 79) 2 Yveltal(BRT; 94) 1 Gallade(BRT; 84) 1...

As much as I love using Bursting Balloon in Greninja, giving the spaces to play 4 plus Eco Arm is not necessarily going to get the desired effect. This is mainly because many decks are shifting to 2 Lysandre, and this trend will only continue if Garbodor sees as much play as the hype predicts. I...

Slightly over simplified, but thats honestly how it felt, I dunno.

It was a fantastic meta call on Shintaro's part. Most people looked at the decks going into the tournament as: Nightmarch Things that beat Nightmarch (Trevenant, Vileplume varients, Aquabox, Greninja) Things that beat the things that beat Nightmarch (Darkbox, Vespiquen builds) But all of...

In regards to the discussion for techs for the Sceptile match-up: don't bother. You know how some decks just have those auto loss match-ups, but better than evens chance in all other areas? This is the case here. If Sceptile is a problem in the meta, and running rampant, Greninja is just a bad...

An interesting by-product of an increase in Garbador is the cycle of deck choices it makes. If everyone is playing ability dependant decks (Trev, Greninja, Vileplume, Alakazam), then Garbador usage rises to beat them. Since Garbador only really works in decks that don't need abilities to...

Yup, I tested yesterday and it was awful. The Net / Ringer are no good, they rotate out, which is when M Sceptile becomes a threat. However, I'm not convinced with Glaceon, at least Regice is useful in other match-ups. I've also been racking my brains for something for the mirror, mostly...

One route to consistency and getting past the slower start that I want to test is running 2/3 Wally (maybe even 4, the Jirachi Promo may be less useful if the meta moves away from DCE). Going second, opening Froakie and dropping a Wally + energy is huge, and losing 1 Frogadier is fine. It also...

I've been testing this deck for a little while, and saw an interesting tech in one of the lists from US Nationals, mostly for the mirror: Bent Spoon. Situational at best outside of the mirror, and redundant if Pokemon Ranger has its effect last for the whole game, but it outright wins the...
