Did they seriously just make Kakuna strictly worse than the original? Why would they ever think that was a good idea? Kakuna was never a good card to begin with.

I'm aware that it's broken on purpose. I'm saying they need to find a way to be able to have the servers be fine AND have the radar running.

Frankly I think fixing the radar should be the #1 priority, ahead of trading, but that's just me.

It's not America, just the US. Us Canadians can't get it officially :(

PRC-On seems the most likely rotation, as it gets rid of the oldest year of sets currently in standard (XY to PHF). For Expanded, I'm going to guess there's going to be no rotation of anything.

Reverse Valley is terrible for Tyranitar though, in the same way that Muscle Band is. The extra 10 damage is only relevant in one specific case: vs Zygarde-EX with a single damage counter on it and no more. Meanwhile, Team Magma's Secret Base literally lets Tyranitar OHKO anything it affects...

Running one hoopa is rather risky; if it gets prized, your deck slows to a crawl. If you're having issues with Trevenant and item lock, Hex Maniac is your best friend. You Hex to play your items and attach your links, then on the next turn you evolve and start OHKOing things. As for losing...

Bumping as I've completely changed the list and OP. I figure this is better than starting a second thread for the same deck.

I definitely agree with your sentiment of it being frustrating to lose to the game rather than the player, but the thing about TCGs, and in particular the Pokemon TCG, is that it's very hard to actually lose to the player. How often do players actually outplay someone? Is it really them out...

I meant something more concrete. For example, Magic The Gathering rotates sets out every year. Each set lasts in standard for 2 years before it rotates out. Any sets that are 3 years old therefore leave Standard and become Modern only. If Pokemon follows a similar system, then wouldn't PRC-On...

Is there a correlation between the years sets rotated and the years those rotated sets were released?

2-2-2 of Zorua/Zoroark/Float Stone takes up the same space as 3 M Scizor and 3 Spirit Link. I just feel like since both take up the same amount of deck space, both do the same damage, both are weak to item lock (tools are important in both versions), but Zoroark/Scizor takes more work every...

Forretress works better against Focus Sash because it can disable multiple of them at once, rather than having to do each one one at a time and therefore being weak to Hex Maniac disrupting you at a key point. Steel decks should be using a split between Steel Shelter and Reverse Valley. As for...

Virizion also only needs 2 energy, it doesn't get OHKO'd by Glaceon-EX or anything else those decks typically play (unless it's a teched card in Greninja BREAK), and it only gives up 1 prize. EDIT: Also I'm running Forretress over Ariados because Forretress works better against Focus Sash and...

You're forgetting that it gets rid of stadiums too; Dimension Valley, Sky Field, Rough Seas and Forest of Giant Plants to name the most relevant ones. Plus, plenty of decks still run special energies even if they aren't entirely reliant on it like Night March or Vespiquen are. Yveltal...

Thoughts on including 1 or 2 copies of Ancient Origins Virizion as a way to deal with Glaceon-EX? I keep seeing it more and more when I test this deck online and it's almost an auto-lose unless you can Lysandre to knock it out before it gets set up.

I would actually argue that a M Scizor focused deck would be better than one that tries to abuse Zoroark with regular Scizor. M Scizor would work much better under ability lock, has the same energy cost, higher HP, higher damage, and it deals with special energy and opposing stadiums entirely on...

I feel like Bill, Oak and potentially Challenge! should probably have more than 4 copies each in the cube, if only so more players can get access to a copy or two of each. Energy Removal, Super Energy Removal, and Lass I would probably restrict to 4 copies, if even having that many. The other...

I think the original rules is probably fine. The old format was incredibly slow without Bills and Oaks, and since it's a cube with a limit of 4 of each pokemon, you won't be seeing Rain Dance everywhere. If someone even does manage to make Rain Dance, they'd be forced into playing suboptimal...

Even Fighting Fury Belt is likely better than Power Memory when Night March is involved. They need their own FFB and 11 out of 12 Night Marchers in the discard to OHKO Zygarde at that point. Meanwhile, the advantage compared to Focus Sash is that FFB can be used on non-fighting Pokémon (if you...
