    Playing Magma Basin in the Great Basin — A Look at Fire Decks for SLC

    What are the possible weaknesses in these decks?

    Alt. Format Alice in Wonderland (Bunnelby / Polteageist / Duskull / Mimikyu / Dedenne / Oricorio GX / Mr. Rime)

    You may want to run a Galarian Mr. Mime or two. There will be times where you will need Mr. Rime to attack directly. Because it is a stage 1, it can break through Obstagoon’s defenses. Because it is a “Water” type, it hits Reshizard and Blacephalon for weakness (even though as an ice-type it...

    Alt. Format Centiskorch Mill (aka Millipede)

    So when I saw the new Centiskorch card in Sword & Shield, I realized that it would be perfect for a mill deck when combined with Moltres (TEU), especially given all the trainer support that Fire currently has. So here's a list I pulled out of my arse: Pokemon (19): 4 Sizzlipede SSH 38 -...

    Standard Melmetal and Lucario GX/Scizor GX

    You may want to replace that Slowpoke with a Ditto Prism Star. It can serve another purpose if you don’t need Slowbro: evolving into Scizor.

    Collecting National Pokedex and Gen II collecting question

    I'm doing a National Pokedex binder. For each species, I plan to eventually get the earliest regular set print of that Pokemon (ie no EX/GX, shadowless, promo, etc). Gen II is where I'm not sure what to do. I know the Neo era is earlier, but it looks too similar to the Gen I cards and might be...

    Alt. Format (SUM-DRM) Nashville Hot KFC (Blaziken GX)

    That makes a lot more sense. I never thought I'd see the day Sophocles would be good for something...

    Alt. Format (SUM-DRM) Nashville Hot KFC (Blaziken GX)

    If I may ask, what purpose does Sophocles serve?

    'Explosive Impact,' Japan's SM8 Set; Raises Questions About Switch Release

    I really wish the devs would hurry up and reveal Blacephalon-GX. I'm tired of keeping my hopes up for it. Either make it suck and disappoint me again, or make it a god and brighten up my day. Just stop leaving me hanging like this!

    Discussion Blacephalon GX Predictions

    Any reason why the devs are taking their sweet time? I'm tired of having to keep my hopes up; I want to know whether to look forward to it or forget about it, but don't just leave me hanging like this!

    Discussion Blacephalon GX Predictions

    This^^. You said it much better than I could. Fire is about to take a huge beating from rotation.

    Discussion Blacephalon GX Predictions

    Fire is my absolute favorite type. It's been getting crapped on by the devs for the past year. When I'm only playing this part-time (I'm a VGC player first and foremost), I expect it to be worth my while.

    Discussion Blacephalon GX Predictions

    If they do that, I just might quit. TCG is only a sideshow for me anyway.

    Discussion Blacephalon GX Predictions

    Blacephalon-GX had better be a fire-type god. Fire has been getting crapped on for the past year, and I am sick and tired of it.

    Discussion Blacephalon-GX: Hopes and Fears

    I've been a fire-type specialist ever since I started playing last year. I've been languishing for the past 5 sets as there have been few viable cards for Fire decks. Entei-GX is mediocre while Blaziken-GX is better suited for Expanded. At the same time, Ultra Beasts are everywhere and I'm...

    I've beaten that deck numerous times.

    Ho-Oh GX can OHKO Zoroark with a CB or a Steam Up boost.

    Discussion Volcanion (and other Fire) decks in Expanded (Post-ban)

    I thought Volcanion decks ran at least 2 Baby Volcs anyway for energy acceleration/recharge.

    Discussion Volcanion (and other Fire) decks in Expanded (Post-ban)

    Baby Volcanion can handle Hoopa just fine. Steam Artillery + Steam Up will OHKO it.

    Standard Infernape/Entei

    Reshiram-GX and Wela Volcano Park will be great additions to this deck when Dragon Majesty comes out.

    Standard M Charizard (Coin Flip)

    I've been running a deck like this for the past year. Won 2 league challenges and cut a League Cup. I haven't taken it to any regionals because I play VGC first-priority, however. With decent luck, M Charizard X can attack on turn 2. Here's how my deck is different: I use the EVO/XY-121...
