    Japan's XY10 Set: 'Awakening of Psychic Kings,' Alakazam!

    Gonna be hard for an opponent to lysandre and hex a Break off the bench then! Looking forward to this zygarde deck XD

    Carbink Break ignores silent lab right? I mean breaks aren't basics right?

    Standard Seismitoad EX / Empoleon for Regionals

    I've yet to see a compelling ace in hole deck in standard. Since Jirachi-ex, Computer Search/Dowsing machine and eggecute (propagation) have left the format, it all feels too horribly inconsistent for me :s Prove me wrong though folks, I wanna tech in that new Gallade so bad!

    Standard Seismitoad EX / Empoleon for Regionals

    I use the slow build, piplup/rare candy. It's not as quick but it consistently gets you a 70 damage quaking punch turn two. Also who cares about Glailie when Toad's grenade hammer does 130 base, extended to 210 with 2 Empoleons, band and Giovanni (Sensational but not too impossible). Also I...

    Standard Raichu / Crobat / Ninetales

    I've trialed flash energy in Manectric. I dropped it in that deck as turbo bolt can't utalise it. I'm generally not a fan though, not because Enhanced Hammers are everywhere but for the loss in deck versatility, becaue sometimes your'e gonna want to attach a basic energy and muscle band on a...

    Standard Raichu / Crobat / Ninetales

    Go four stadiums, then ensure you win the stadium war. Essentially do your best not to play a Skyfield until your opponent plays a stadium. Most decks won't play more than 4 stadiums therefore their placement first along with careful management of your resources can enable you to exhaust their...

    Standard Raichu / Crobat / Ninetales

    Looks pretty good, the only thing I'd change is 1/2 extra level ball and one sacred ash. Level balls help so much with consistently, getting out everything bar crobat, and the ash is there for when your four Raichus won't stretch to taking six prizes vs non ex decks. Otherwise just keep playing...

    Standard Raichu / Crobat / Ninetales

    I've not played a lot of bats but when I have I've favoured a 4-3-2 line. Ideally you'd want a Zubat, Golbat and Crobat benched going into your turn so you coud AZ up the Crobat and play all three down again. 4-3-2 favours this setup needing only a 3-2-1 line in a perfect game to achieve. Super...

    Ruling Double Dragon Energy

    Basic energy only, so nevermind. :( Thanks anyway

    Ruling Double Dragon Energy

    The Rayquaza-ex in Dragon's Exalted has an attack "Dragon Burst" which costs one lighting and one fire energy. The attack does 60x all fire or lightning discarded. Now what I'd like to know is after attaching a DDE to Rayquaza can it be used as lightning and fire for cost of attack then as...

    Article Standardized Testing: Preparing for City Championships and Beyond

    Yeah I just meant the "almost flight" Bagon. But hey we knew what you meant :) Oh and top standard decks in my humble opinion are; 1 Manectric/Lugia/regice 2 Dugtrio/Hawlucha/Jolteon 3 Florgres/Slurpuff/Vileplume I'm very curious to see if Toad/Empoleon can make a splash next format too!

    Wrong Bagon! But great article. I'm still living in hope that "break" evolution means built in delta evo.

    Discussion The Break Mechanic

    I'm wondering about the actual mechanic. Surely "break" evolution means slap that card down as and when you like, even if you played the stage before that turn. Also is Noivern break then still a stage one? Just wondering if a cheeky Flareon/Blacksmith/Smeargle combo would allow you to set up in...

    Standard M Tyranitar-EX / Yveltal / Forretress

    Hey guys, all good ideas, I have (as we're all guilty of) continued to trim things to the point of non effectiveness. In thinking about it, it was probably because a few at my league play Don. Even though I'll just play Sceptile/Ariados/Plume if that's the case. To answer some of your thoughts...

    Standard M Tyranitar-EX / Yveltal / Forretress

    Hi, so this is a fun deck, I need some advice on tools and general consistency. Thoughts as to the competitive nature of this deck are also appreciated. Pokémon: 18 4 Yveltal XY 78 2 Pineco FLF 4 2 Forretress FLF 60 3 Tyranitar-EX AOR 42 3 M Tyranitar-EX AOR 92 1 Yveltal-EX PR-XY XY08 1...
