I have always been interested in the potential of Beedrill, especially in a meta dominated by tag team pokemon. Now with VMAX pokemon making an entry into the format the possibility for an instant KO on a single prizer remains intriguing to me. With no nest ball or ultra ball the viability...

Hi all. I hope everyone has been following the NAIC madness this weekend. I am very interested in Nathan Kaplan's Baby Blowns deck. He apparently also did well at Origins with a Baby Blowns deck yet I cannot find any info on the list or at least which build he used, Greens or Jirachi or...

I have been hearing indirectly about an interesting new Blowns build that utilizes Persian GX. Let me just say I love Blowns and have had success with the traditional version of the deck in the past. I am curious if anyone has a list or is at least able to provide the the vital new inclusions...

I have had success as well as some of the issues already mentioned in this thread while playing Baby Blowns. From my experience the Jirachi build is far superior to the Greens engine. Without Jirachi I am having to chain Greens almost every turn besides an early Welder. If the game goes...

Has anyone considered Dunsparce from Celestial Storm as a possible post rotation set up engine? After rotation, when we loose Ultra Ball and Nest Ball, Dunsparce might be a good alternative for setting up the bench. It does not have the same limitations as Prof. Elm and it allows you to play a...

Have you considered the Jirachi build instead of Greens? While with Reshizard I find the Green's build to be the superior version, when it comes to Baby Blowns my testing has shown the Jirachi engine to be far more consistent, at least at consistent as Baby Blowns can be. With the green's...

I for sure agree that the enemy of this deck is judge and Marshadow. It is difficult to recover if opponent uses them turn 1. I have already swapped one nest ball for an ultra space but might consider swapping out for a second one as you can often get more than one search from a single ultra...

IT is really a Guzma counter. I usually am looking to use Green as often as possible. Even when I could welder to set up the other Blacephalon I often lack enough energy for me to take a KO. Like you I though this was a card I thought I would likely cut but they have been very useful dealing...

Hi all, I have been testing a new Baby Blacephalon deck and have been having some great results. After initially having terrible results with an initial build, I was inspired to try a Quad version and have been more than pleased with the results. It is shutting down Zapdos and Zoroark builds...

I am tweaking my PikaRom deck to include some defensive cards as PikaRom while being a prize taking machine can also become a prize liability if it is not charged and attacking quickly. When I first made my deck I was inclined to include defensive cards like Aether Conservation Center and...

Choice Helmet was for sure one of the changes I was considering. Also I am going to start experimenting with teching in one or maybe even two Shedinja in hopes I can win the the prize race against even the likes of PikaRom. If one or two of the Blacephalon only give one prize this might make a...

Since the beginning of Lost Thunder, Blacephlaon Naganadel has been one of the main decks that I have invested time and money into building and testing with much success. Other than certain Malamar and Shrine Builds, I have great win ratios against almost all the other archtypes. I have just...

I for sure see what you are saying. I usually am able to get Magcargo out turn two, turn three at the absolute latest. I likely will be switching out the Magcargo Slugma line and just stick with the Weavile and Alolan Muk techs, but man, I will really miss the perfect draws. My current list...

With the release of Team Up I have begun to tinker with my Zorark Lycanroc deck. Even before the release of this new expansion I have heard both positive and negative comments on including Magcargo in a Zoroark Lycanroc list. I have always chosen to include Magcargo in my pre Team Up list...

I am going over my deck lists and trying to decide when to include Pokemon Communication of simply keep the standard Ultra ball and Nest ball mainstays (and Mysterious Treasure of course.) For instance, in a Zoroark list that has many different stage twos and a high number of total pokemon...
