Option 3: Golisopod Garbodor

Yes I know all of these are pre rotation, but I'll ask people to help me make them post rotation later down the line. I know Necrozma Malamar could be meta and is my playstyle, Zoroark Garb is my playstyle, and finally I know Goli Garb is the cheapest of the bunch. I was just wondering which of these would do better next rotation as a whole.


Thanks for your help!

Garbotoxin Garbodor (BreakPoint) rotates out for the 2018-2019, so both Zoroark/Garbodor and Golispod/Garbodor aren't able to played then.

These decks are just not as strong without Garbotoxin.

Really?

Ok how about the ZoroGarb, how is that not as strong? Garbotoxin terminates Zoro's ability, so couldn't it be better?

You said you know these decks, yet you don't realise how they work.

There's a reason they work. You run Bursting Balloon to only shut off your opponent's Abilities, and when it comes back to your turn, Bursting Balloon gets discarded. Which hey, now means you can use Abilities again and you can find yet another Bursting Balloon to attach to Garbodor.

There are even some variants that don't utilize Bursting Balloon. Instead they run 3-4 Field Blower.The key is to use it at the exact right time to use your own Abilities. Once you've got your board in a good position, you don't care too much about shutting off your own Abilities. This is more difficult to play than the Bursting Balloon variant, since there is a lt more skill involved.

But anyway, I don't see why you'd say that they're your playstyle, if you don't even know how it works.

Well, Necrozmar it is then.
