    New Player help

    Great timing to start. 2 copies of Laser Focus (Necrozma theme deck) is almost enough for you to get started. Additional copies of staple Supporters, Viridian Forest, PokeGear 3.0, Spell Tag and Giratina is all you need to invest after that to have a competitive deck. Good luck, man.

    Standard Celebi Tag Team GX Deck

    -1 Celebi & Venusaur TT GX (you don't need four and you can't energize all four) -1 Professor Elm's Lecture (Net Ball + draw power does the job) -1 Acerola (no longer allowed in Standard) -2 Apricorn Maker (really, Net Ball + draw power) -2 Gardenia (Great Potion is more efficient) -2 Cynthia...

    Standard Janine’s Venomoth GX Deck - PLEASE HELP only one week left!

    Hard to say anything about Gligar and Tentacool, I don't know what they do and can't search it up right now. If you're willing to diversify your line-up, I'd consider a 2-2 Parasect line. It deals damage to confused enemies between turns, so you can get back-to-turn knockouts on TT-mon after...

    Alt. Format ChandeZard

    I had an opportunity to test some stuff this weekend and decided for a small change: -1 Welder - Heat Factory Prism Star +2 Reset Stamp Welder is situational, albeit important, and is usually at hand when needed. In a deck meant to drain energies fast, a third Welder is usually a dead card...

    Not sure I understand the question. Do you mean hitting a single Zard after SBurner and losing the current Chandelure? (assuming you don't have a second one ready) If so, rush a second one at all costs. You have Elm, Comm and stuff as such. Not much to do about it.

    Hey, thanks for taking the time. Great idea, by the way, using Zangoose. For the sake of efficiency, we consider a Soul Burner flopping if it hits less than 2 pokémon. The intent of Soul Burner isn't to K.O. stuff but to set Zards. Also, the initial drafts started with 18 Pokémon. Even then, it...

    Alt. Format ChandeZard

    Took us a while to get the right numbers. With 22 Pokémon, the very first one pretty much never flops. Depending on how well you hit it, the third one is where it cracks (mid game, after two or three Zard are down). But even then, it's workable. We did, but hitting (R) pokemon is more important...

    Just a little something to discuss for post-rotation, as I believe this might fly under the radar during the initial hype. Pokémon: 22 4-4-4 Chandelure (UNM) 2 Charmeleon (TEU) 4 Charizard (TEU) 2 Blaziken (DRM) 1 Magcargo (CST) 1 Ninetales (TEU) A heavy pokemon line to feed Chandelure's Soul...

    Discussion Post Rotation Meta predictions

    Girachomp is related to the Malamar package. I wouldn't go for Keldeo just yet, it's just too soon; and Baby Blowns is a possibility, sure.

    In no particular order, decks competing for t1 status: Green's Reshizard MewMew Malamar Dark TT Box Interesting contenders: Pikarom Naganadel-GX/Porygon-Z Gardeveon Blacephalon-GX Budget options: Aegislash Chandelure/Charizard Alolan Exeggutor

    Help Good Deck For Around $150

    The cheapest options I can think of right now are: Aegislash Chandelure/Charizard Spiritomb/Umbreon/Terrakion Alolan Exeggutor (Dragon) None of them run any costly cards (i.e. Jirachi, TT Pokémon) and may actually compete with TT decks in this new rotation due to either speed or type advantage...

    Discussion Stance on Stage 2 Decks

    The thing about stage 2s right now is that very few of them actually pay off for the trouble of setting them up. It's not like stage 2s have OHKO potential nowadays against Tag Team'ers, so that puts them in a very awkward position. But, for those very few that might be a thing, I believe UNB...

    Standard Dragonite GX (Post Rotation)

    May I suggest that you consider UNM Dragonite-GX instead? In this new format, a non-TT that can one-shot stuff should be taken into consideration. That would allow you to drop the Altaria line, replace Jirachi with a thin Persian-GX line and trace a more streamlined strategy to answer the new...

    Alt. Format Hitmon Combo Deck - POST ROTATION

    With the new spoilers, I believe you'll want Professor Oak now, to fetch you supports and whatever Hitmon is missing. I'd go with 3, since setup plays a huge part in your strategy. Also max Lillie (and Cynthia, why not?), for the same purpose, since you can't afford to brick. You also need...

    Standard Blaziken GX deck

    For the sake of space management, consider choosing between Jirachi and Ninetales as your Trainer engine. I'd probably take Jirachi in here, mostly because of my second suggestion. That being: Firestarter Blaziken. Acts as both a quick energizer to reduce Welder dependency and as a non-GX...

    Standard Spiritomb/Marshadow-Gx

    First of all, you need Giovanni's Exile in there. You can't afford to have key basics on your bench, much less amass Dedenne-GX/Tapu Lele-GX for Guzma takeouts. Following up, I don't know how's your experience with the deck been so far, but I don't see Marshadow-GX being able to use Spiritomb's...

    Alt. Format DouBle Drop (Doublade/ Genesect-Gx)

    Let's start with the frivolous part: Jirachi and Escape Board are obvious inclusions due to the nature of the deck. If they are necessary or even if they boost the deck's consistency (I'd say they do), I don't have the mileage to determine. Still, I think it's important to mention them. Another...

    Standard Non-GX Dark Box (Umbreon/Weavile)

    Espeon (LOT) would be a nice addition in there, if you can fit it in. Also, I see no reason why Absol (TEU) shouldn't be included as a disruption tech. Even if its' attack is costlier than the deck's curve, it also provides a soft answer to CeleSaur, 2hko-ing it, despite healing. Finally...

    Help Best Way to play the New Incineroar GX?

    Going from the perspective that it'll be more useful when ZoroNinja-GX TT arrives and that this deck will run a higher-than-usual Energy count: Darkrai <*> can set itself up in one turn for a hax attack with Energy Switch, forcing a Guzma or taking a 2HKO. It can also serve as a juicy target...
