    P!P/Rules Best Finish Limits and Quarterly Seasons for 2016-2017 Tournaments!

    I think this will make Challenge attendance go down. If you can get more points for placing at a Cup, then why go to a Challenge for a measly 15 points. They're really trying to market Challenges to newer players.

    Standard Electric Deck (2017 Standard New Rotation)

    Octillery works surprisingly well in this deck. Around cities, a lot of people were testing Magnezone, and they were using Octillery. Not only is it a non-EX, but you can use it every turn without having to clutter your bench with multiple Shaymins. Also, you're probably dumping a ton of...

    Standard Fight Alone Lucario

    From my testing with Lucario/Puff, I found that the more Puff, the better. It isn't a guaranteed card, which means that you might want it when you don't have it and if your opponent knows you're playing it, it could make them try to play around it, which usually leads to weak Shaymins, which is...

    Discussion Deck Ideas for Steam Seige Toxicroak

    Personally, I've been testing it in Expanded. I use Zygarde/Landorus to attack for the first turn or two, then Ninja Boy out the EX, put in Croagunk, and immediately evolve into Toxicroak. Also in Expanded, you get Laser and Virbank, which allows you to hit for...

    Discussion Deck Ideas for Steam Seige Ampharos

    I love Ampharos. I could see it working with Basic Manectric. Assault Laser+Muscle Band+Amphoros=170. The same could work with Sceptile to hit 180 or 170 with a Belt, although it is weak to fire, which is bad with the new set. It can work with pretty much everything that does 120+

    News 20th Anniversary Set in September + Surfing Pikachu and M Slowbro-EX!

    I spent the last five minutes chanting "Comp Search!" so I guess I'm excited.

    Discussion PCL-on M Rayquaza Options?

    Personally, I think Ray is a little overhyped. Yes, it's incredibly powerful and fast, but Raichu and Vileplume are still in format, along with Glaceon and Regice, but Ranger takes care of the last two. The main reason I think it's a little overhyped is Klefki from Steam Seige. It's not an...

    Discussion Predicting The Metagame For Nationals

    Right now, I expect some Night March, Greninja, Trev, some Metal and Bees and a ton of Darkrai/Garb(sometimes with Giratina). Darkrai/Garb beats Greninja(unless they play multiple Megaphones) and Trev and Giratina does give it an edge over Night March, but it's still pretty close, like 55-45...

    Japan's XY11: 'Explosive Fighter / Cruel Traitor', CP5: 'Mythical / Legendary Dream Holo Collection'

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but this ability can't be shut off. It says that while attached it's a tool card, so cards like Silent Lab and Garbodor can't shut it off because it's no longer a Pokemon. Also, I think it can be discarded with Startling Megaphone, Tool Scraper, etc.

    Discussion Spring Regionals Decks

    What are the decks to beat for post-Fates Collide regionals. I've been testing a lot of Genesect/Bronzong, but I expect to see a lot of Zygarde, Dark, Night March, and Trev, and possibly some Toad and Serperior.

    Standard Fates Collide deck: Genesect Bronzong.

    I've been testing this also, and I love AZ. You pick up the tool, you discarded the energies from Genesect, now you can pick it up with almost not reason not to. Also, I've been testing one Cobalion-EX for Expanded because you're kinda stuck if you get Hexed. Scizor EX could replace it in...

    Discussion Spring Regionals Decks

    Well, Generations wasn't legal during week 3, so you can't use purely results to determine what's going to do well. Vesiquen gets Revitalizer and Mega Ray and Eels get Jolteon so the meta could change. For example, Turbo Dark get's bodied by Jolteon because they don't have an answer other than...
