    Discussion Best Partner/Way to Run Zoroark GX?

    Only time will tell, but I'm backing Ninetales/Zoroark to do well. They seem to have great synergy together.

    Standard Super-Charged Mega Venusaur for Standard!

    Yup exactly. Well I would remove either the 4th Rare Candy or one of the 2-of Supporters. Actually, I'm not sure how great Acerola really is in this list. I feel like its mostly being used as an alternative switching card and you couldn't really use it on Venusaur SLG . In that case I would...

    Standard Super-Charged Mega Venusaur for Standard!

    You could also try running Pokemon Fan Club and Hoopa EX. This way you can Fan Club for a Bulbasaur and a Hoopa to get yourself 2 Venusaur EXs and a Mega to hold. Seems like a fast way of setting up your board and thinning out your deck which should also help you hit your Rare Candies/Spirit Links.

    Standard Solgaleo GX/ Rayquaza GUR

    To be fair, you didn't exactly explain any of your card choices. Here is what I would critique based on my testing with SolgaRay. 10 energy? Are those all basic? I've been testing 9 metal and 3 DCE to pretty good effect, and I've seen others trying 10/2. This way Lele and Ray can be used...

    Standard Post GR Mega Scizor

    Yea I agree that Kukui is a decent card in general but more so when you still have 10 energy. With no form of acceleration running 8 energy may leave you needing to dig to power up your 2nd attacker. If you had to Kukui and whiffed the energy for a benched Scizor that turn you would essentially...

    Discussion Rayquaza GUR

    Hah! I actually made a thread on reddit about this earlier today. After thinking about it for a bit, I came to the conclusion that it may be nice to pair it with Solgaleo GX as its recovery partner as opposed to Lurantis GX. Also thought about it as a 1-of in a Xerneas Break deck that plays DCE...

    Standard Post GR Mega Scizor

    I still think its worth running at least 1 Dhelmise. The difference between 120 and 130 is pretty significant. Plenty of 130 HP basics and with Greninja potentially coming back into the meta with GUR, it lets you deal with the non-break and Talonflame nicely. I would drop one of the Kukui's for...

    Standard Solgaleo / Lunana / Wobb

    I think the Rainbow energies make perfect sense with a Solgaleo/Lunala split. Lunala gets to move 8 energies and you still have 8 energies that Solgaleo can use to Sol Burst with as soon as possible. Better odds than running 6/6 where you have a higher chance of whiffing the early Metal energy...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    Yeah, I guess it really depends on how these decks are built in the future. I don't think Lurantis GX plays Eeveelutions anymore with Choice Band and the pack blister Lurantis releasing soon, making Max Potion more viable in the deck. Going down more of a Mega Manetric style of play. Water...

    Discussion Standard Meta Tier List

    Field Blower while great is a two way street. As a Mega evolution player, you won't be able to just slap down your precious Spirit Links turn 1 without risking them and potentially losing a turn of momentum. Dhelmise definitely helps tho. I think if Sylveon GX kicks off to some quick placements...

    Standard Tapu Lele/Garbodor Post Guardians-Rising

    Interesting archetype. Don't believe you need the Max Elixirs tho, both of your attackers can attack with a single attachment and I don't think it's worth playing them when you have less than 8 basic energies from a consistency standpoint. Maybe try running Puzzle of Time instead, since they can...

    Standard M Sharpedo EX

    Ha! You could say that about any Dark deck not already named Turbo Dark! Although seriously, the snipes that Mega Sharpedo bring are already pretty strong with Secret Base. Against Turbo Dark for instance, 1 Torpedo Dive would hit each benched Darkrai and Hoopa for 30 damage per attack. 2 such...

    Standard Kokobox - Post-Guardians Rising

    Nice list! I came up with something very similar except I ran a 4th Koko, 2nd Ninja Boy, and 2 Max Potions. Theoretically, this should help cycle "used up" Kokos back into the deck for another Aero Trail swoop. You can even just Ninja Boy a damaged Koko on the bench into a Raikou to simply give...

    Standard M Sharpedo EX

    Here is my take on Mega Sharpedo, that I drew up when the cards were first revealed. Pokémon: 13 2 Shaymin EX 4 Sharpedo EX 3 Mega Sharpedo EX 3 Yveltal O-Wing 1 Yveltal Break Trainers(Supporters/Items/Stadiums): 36(10/22/4) 4 Professor Sycamore 3 N 2 Lysandre 1 Olympia 4 Ultra Ball 4 VS...

    Standard Primal Groudon EX/Solgaleo GX

    Hey everyone! The past few days I've had this combo stuck in my head thinking it could work. I'll be making proxies this weekend to try it out regardless, but would like to hear some feedback on what everyone thinks works or doesn't work with my list. As well as thoughts on this combo in...

    Discussion Best Partner for Decidueye-GX (Standard)

    I agree with all of this. The only pokemon I've chosen to run besides the owls and Shaymins is a single Promo Celebi. Mainly as a way to force a 7 prize game but it also helps in the early game against Garb. Getting that 10 damage on Trubbish/Garb means a single Lysandre/Razer Leaf play will...

    Discussion Best Partner for Decidueye-GX (Standard)

    How do you guys feel about using Promo Celebi? Obviously much less focused on raw damage output but its a 1-prize attacker, is easily streamed, and also spreads damage. If you're lucky it may not even give up a prize forcing your opponent to take around 6 KOs as opposed to 3 or 4, which...

    Standard Raikou/Electrode/Thundurus EX

    Here are some thoughts... Having played a lot of Raikou/Electrode recently I don't think Thundurus-EX is worth having 2 slots as hitting for 150/160 is not really note-worthy and the extra bulk is offset by being an EX that damages itself. I've never tested it so I won't count it out entirely...

    Raikou/Magnezone (Thunder Cats)

    In my opinion, this list is about as competitive as it gets for Raikou/Magnezone in the current standard format. The only thing I'm currently considering is adding a Pikachu EX to act as turbo nuke. Since the whole deck runs on abilities Garbodor is obviously the biggest obstacle to it's...

    Raikou/Magnezone (Thunder Cats)

    I really like playing my Raikou/Magnezone deck. Here is my list in case you wanted to compare. Pokemon: 13 2 Shaymin EX 3 Raikou 3 Magnemite 1 Magneton 3 Magnezone 1 Mew Trainers (Supporters/Items/Stadiums): 36(10/25/1) 4 Professor Sycamore 3 N 3 Lysandre 4 VS Seeker 4 Ultra Ball 4 Trainers'...
