Oh wait yeah im being dumb

#

I watched it in hyperspeed i musta missed that

digital quartz
#

The full arts have all been so good this pack

#

Oh 2 in a row lmao

fluid matrix
#

I love the CCTV filter with the lines on the celesteela

#

I love when the UBs are depicted as like alien invaders no one is ready to encounter

I rewatched those when this set came out

lol

#

Also I’ve finally stopped trying to force poison deck to work because it just doesn’t keep up

#

It’s good and it’s a fun deck

blazing forum
#

what’s funny is i have no idea when i’ll complete the mission

lofty nest
#

But buzzwole just murders

blazing forum
#

and like, weezing or something?

lofty nest
#

I’ve done a mix of variations

blazing forum
#

gotcha

#

yeah it’s hard countered by both buzzwole and arceus

#

buzzwole probably being the most common deck i’ve seen

lofty nest
#

But toxicroak + absol mostly

blazing forum
#

ohhh right

#

looks cool but difficult

lofty nest
#

I’ll swap out those two for the other ultra beast poison guy once I get a second one probably

blazing forum
#

naganadel

lofty nest
#

Ye

blazing forum
#

it’s not bad for sure, 40 damage plus poison for only one energy is nice

lofty nest
#

And then I’ve got room for a tank if I want

#

Or ig keep absol in

#

But yeah infernape plus giovanni absolutely destroys buzzwole and meowscarada

blazing forum
#

i struggle with decks that don’t have places to put energy

#

like after you put one energy on absol one on naganadel, that’s all you need

lofty nest
#

I mean you gotta keep feeding their retreat costs but yeah

blazing forum
#

idk i think it’s just a different playstyle than me

lofty nest
#

Fair

blazing forum
lofty nest
#

Even though buzzwole gets clapped, the other dude in that deck is actually kind of annoying to deal with

#

Cause I can’t one tap it unless I commit to blowing it up with infernape which feels like low reward

#

Maybe I should throw in some rocky helmets

#

Nah actually I want all the other cards

lofty nest
#

Bro.

#

My infernape didn’t wake up for six fucking turns

I'm so fucked

#

How the hell did I pull Marco Silva round 1 when there's 200 byes

blazing forum
#

oh you’re cooked

#

not actually, you can beat him but that’s a horrible round 1

#

randbats?

fallen sparrow
#

yea

fallen sparrow
#

but one of us is a 3x internats champ and one of us isn't even a doubles main

#

granted I'm very good but still

blazing forum

that’s tough

#

when’s your match

if it was singles I'd be a lot more confident in just cooking him

#

tried ordering a prismatic ETB and garchomp box on pokemon center and my checkout crashed so I got nothing

fluid matrix
#

Lmao

#

I saw the drop but I wasnt super interested

#

Was it just like spinning pokeball forever or the whole thing just crashed

lofty nest
#

spinning pokeball forever, clicked my cart again after a while and it said the site was having errors, refreshed the page, stuff was out of stock

#

I need to go to the store anyways so I'm probably just gonna do my rounds at the local Target/Walmart/Best Buy because they're all like RIGHT next to each other so it's like super easy

#

I've got a super chill path that takes me through all 3 and then loops right back home

fluid matrix
#

I think it may be flagging me as a bot for how fast i was checking out

#

Once i typed my shit in manually it just worked

lofty nest
#

I think the site just overloaded for me

#

I was paying via paypal

#

which I've done before and worked fine

fluid matrix
#

Damn maybe just unlucky then

lofty nest
#

wait a minute

#

I've just now had the realization that I have yet to ever pull an SIR

#

I've pulled 2 gold cards

#

and I've pulled a few really good IRs

#

but never an SIR

#

weird

#

ig I'm not too miffed about it because my normal IR luck is pretty good

#

TM eevee, DR misty psyduck, SF duskull

fluid matrix
#

Ive got 3 SIRs from recent years. And after going through my stuff as a kid i actually had 2 cards that i think are SIR rarity

#

This mew and meloetta

#

Dont mind the hisuian zoroark in the top left i bought that one as a single

Hisuian Zoroark my goat

Dude i love huge power, such a goofy ability

#

Im thinking mega mawile for my Legends ZA team unless maybe the add nee megas. And then even if they do i might still go mega mawile

fallen sparrow
#

playing battle Maison, I haven't done this since before I learned how to actually play mons so I'm actually making comps to do this

#

I got my tox protect leftovers heatran, just doing ev training on it now

#

And grinding to level up for earth power, why is this shit level 70 smth learn

fallen sparrow
fluid matrix
#

It depends what they are and how they do it. Like mega zoroark, flygon, luxray, mimikyu, Aegislash, or maybe a good mega emboar could do it

#

But like any of those could be poorly executed or a mon im not expecting could be really well executed and make me pick it over something that i already like

#

Ooh mega goodra could do it too

My ass is still running silly pom-pom bird and i just got ultra ball

Got a game a bit ago where we flipped our first actives and they just conceded

plucky token
lofty nest
#

I hit 100 damage with it twice today and I haven't played more than 5 games 💀

lofty nest
#

unless they make a card that negates abilities

lofty nest
#

except since it's pocket edition it'd probably be some shit like "flip a coin, if heads your opponent cannot use abilities next turn"

blazing forum
#

are exes not the meta these days? i usually run red

lofty nest
#

I'm not oneshotting the EX's anyways so red wouldn't really help me there

#

gio lets me oneshot non-ex mons a lot more often

that makes sense!

#

sylveon ex has been popping off recently so that makes sense

#

is espeon your main damage dealer

lofty nest
#

base sylveon moreso but espeon is really good against high energy decks

#

since if I get all 4 eevees out and evolved, sylveon is hitting for 130

blazing forum
#

imma be honest i forgot what base sylveon did actually

#

but that makes sense

lofty nest
#

40 damage + 30 for each evolved mon on your bench

#

2 energy

#

can get 100 pretty consistently, 130 if I'm lucky, but with eevee bag and espeon as back ups it's usually more than enough

blazing forum
#

yeah that’s actually really nice

#

might need to try that…

lofty nest
#

it's a fun one

blazing forum
#

solgaleo shiinotic has been super consistent for me though

lofty nest
#

been running only eevee decks as of late

#

glaceon and leafeon are also putting in a lot of work

lofty nest
blazing forum
#

you use it for its ability which is it can draw a pokemon from your deck every turn

lofty nest
#

oh dang

blazing forum
#

i’ll send my deck, it’s pretty good because it’s hard to get bad card luck, and it comes online so quick

#

there’s a few things you can switch out like iono and red but i’ve done some tweaking and this is what i like best

lofty nest
#

oh what the

#

this guy played mars and it actually fucked my whole shit up

mars and red card can be annoying for sure

it’s pretty strong against both of our decks i would think

YEP

fluid matrix
#

played oricorio earlier while a guy had a morelull on his active and he just conceded turn 1

blazing forum
#

pretty hard countered

#

i have to get lucky with shiinotic taking out one oricorio and then getting an ex kill

#

it’s very tricky

fluid matrix
#

thatd never work on me lol

#

I play oricorio/magnezone and I almost never play both magnemites

#

which means I force the opponent to have to take out 2 oricorio to win

blazing forum
#

oh interesting

#

i just don’t run into many oricorios these days though

#

today i played like 5 alcremie decks which like, i would have to disconnect to lose that matchup with solgaleo

fluid matrix
#

I have to win to lottery to win that with oricorio

blazing forum
#

that makes sense

fluid matrix
#

i thought that sweets relay decks would be bad when i first saw them but when you dont have a big enough health pool the low damage on mons with "if a pokemon used sweets relay last turn" become just as big a threat as the alcreamie

blazing forum
#

oh 100%

# lofty nest why only 1 giratina

you really only need 1. between the sylveons and the other draws you either are so far ahead giratina doesn’t accomplish much or you draw it early and it does normal stuff

#

you really want to prioritize getting 2 greninja or 2 sylveon out and having 2 giratinas makes that less consistent

lofty nest
#

fair enough

#

unfortunately my ego is too high to let myself play meta decks, I have to add my own flair

golden holly

completely valid

i lack all creativity and am a meta slave 🙂

@golden holly this is what I’m currently running

golden holly

Ooh i fuck with it

how’s it been treating you

pretty decent actually but idk if it's just been luck or not

not having cyrus is scary but this deck deals out so much consistent damage that it's not too much of an issue

honestly, competitive pokemon tcg is pretty cheap, especially compared to yugioh and magic

I mean there's a reason I DEFINITELY don't play magic lmao

most of it is because I'm not that interested in it tho lol

the mirror matches were only close because my rare candies were in my last like 3 or 4 cards

#

you need exceptionally bad luck to not get the deck online

golden holly
#

that’s about the only time the deck struggles is if you can’t get greninja out at all

blazing forum
#

yeah exactly

#

giratina is nice but if you allow a stokezard two solgaleos or something to get set up, good luck lmao

golden holly
#

i don’t think i’ve encountered any solgaleo decks on ladder yet but the stokezard makes me shake in my boots a little

blazing forum
#

solgaleo was popular last meta

#

that’s what i ran

#

Dude magcargo is like

#

Way scarier than it should be

At first I was like “oh lol funny gamba card” and then when I realized he can’t hurt himself and it turned into “oh fuck, 150 damage on turn 4 what the fuck”

blazing forum

is the strat to just have no benched pokemon

lofty nest
#

A really easy counter is squirt bottle but literally who runs that ever it’s such a waste 75% of the time

#

Very silly card

blazing forum
#

dude squirt bottle is hilarious

#

unless you run fire decks bc who expects a squirt bottle? and then it happens and it’s the worst thing in the world

#

with macargo i guess the problem is if you take too long to get set up, or if you’re going to need to put another pokemon down to not lose the match, you waste turns not attacking

lofty nest
#

Oh man

#

Being on the opposite end of the gren tina deck when they get the god hand is not fun

blazing forum
#

yeah…

#

i’ve been a meta slave like every meta, i played darktina + drud, i played buzzwole, i played solgaleo + shiinotic, and now i have grentina + sylveon 😭😭😭

lofty nest
#

Thankfully darkvile + tyran is still really strong because darkvile has always been kinda meta so I’m like half meta lol

blazing forum
#

i think these types of games have three sections for each meta: meta, off meta, and not meta. with off meta being like, it’s not the main meta but it works well enough, and not meta is that it just doesn’t work

#

and your deck is definitely off meta i’d say which is sick

golden holly
#

i wish wishiwashi wasn’t so slow. i really like that deck and the concept but it just gets beat out by everything 😦

#

i think that’s been my favorite to play so far

lofty nest
#

Yeah I’m a big fan of acerola + claydol + dusclops gimmick because it’s health manipulation without healing but unfortunately it just gets completely outclassed 😭

#

It’s such a cool idea I wish it wasn’t ass

Same with the lake spirits

Ended up on a disgusting loss streak with darkrai weavile so I’ve just resorted to gamba
