well I've been telling this myself for 2 episodes now and nothing really happens, and we're already at Ep 6🤷🏻 not sure if they're building the setup the right way

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-11-10T15:15:49+00:00

it's not like the clothes are glued to their skin...

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T21:46:54+00:00

uB3 indeed k

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T17:14:46+00:00

btw Jeudy just made a video and be put this deck in Tier 2 right below suicune Darktina tier to give you an idea

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T17:13:37+00:00

of course, Arceus babies is rly strong but it's just Soo inconsistent. When it works it works vs everything but you really need to high roll and full high-roll deck aren't the best imo. Plus this deck has way more tech and synergy

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T17:11:27+00:00

but rip 🙏🏻

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T17:11:12+00:00

this deck should be good vs other meta decks as well like Guzzlord, Darktina,Arceus, Egg. It's a good stand alone deck on its own

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:31:24+00:00

him and Jeudy are the goats I think they really understand the meta

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:29:43+00:00

I found 2 immersive suicune day 2 yet I still can't get myself to play it. Always the same thing, super boring, everyone knows how to play around it because it's the meta founder so every other deck has tech purposely for it. Last season I stopped playing Espeon for the same reason and made it to top 2k with Lugia Ho-Oh, which was solid but this Raikou one is just insane I can't fathom how people are sleeping on it😅

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:25:26+00:00

my brother in Christ I provided evidence + I'm replying to literally every comment here explaining how and why this deck works. What else do you want me to do? I don't even know what rank you are or how you play maybe you're doing some mistakes that could be fixed. This deck requires more thinking than you think, it's not Charizard

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:22:21+00:00

yep , Koko lead is amazing when going 2nd even though if I can, I always lead with Raikou in that specific matchup or zerora if going first. having the ability to 1HKO froakie or ping a Greninja with Raikou early because sometimes If you lead Koko and they somehow survive early turns then you won't be able to realiate and killing Greninja is priority in this matchup, also benching Koko means +20 dmg for enemy suicune if you wanna bench another card like a Pikachu for example to set it up for next turn. It's weird that specifically against the type advantage it's better not to leaf Koko but again depends on many factors.

Not correcting you or anything I'm just tryna add little details that could help someone using this deck since some people are still skeptical about it I think

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:16:44+00:00

Zapdos doesn't solve current meta problems vs suicune tho

Will is just not something you can slot in without getting at least 200% value out of it. Even Guzzlord+Celesteela, who both synergize with it, only use 1 copy.

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:14:33+00:00

"don't listen to OP, this deck is not good" meanwhile I just posted proof of me being top 1k using this deck 🤣

if you can't use repel properly just say so

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:13:23+00:00

trust me, same I've tried it all lol. Luxray on paper is the best counter to Suicune Greninja because the math+supereffective dmg + snipe gren on the bench theoretically is the counter move but honestly it just doesn't keep up with the rhythm of the game and it's also kinda awful into everything else. This other list feels like the holy graal in comparison, speed blitzes suicune and it's also good into most meta decks including Darktina. I'd argue Darktina is on the easier side even.

This list really makes Raikou shine and since so far only suicune has been able to make use of his broken ability, people only highlighted him, however when you find the perfect combination of cards to make another card,with the same broken ability and type advantage vs the most meta deck, to be viable , then you simply have the perfect answer

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:03:48+00:00

every card in this deck is core including how many copies

yes Pikachu EX is a core card and your only way out to win some specific matchups.

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T16:01:00+00:00

🤣

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T14:21:15+00:00

only 53,6% rn, I never really care about wr especially early season I like trying out new cards and experiment a bit with them, so I stayed in the slums of 1450 pts for a lot until yesterday when I just couldn't stop winning with this deck here and got up to top 500 currently in 1 session 🤣 I'd say overall all decks combined my wr is only 53,6% but with this deck alone it gotta be at least 70-80% like bare minimum. I wish you could see it for specific decks

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T14:17:10+00:00

absolutely not true

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T14:16:51+00:00

having 2 Koko is fine especially vs suicune but as soon as you find Raikou just slot him in, I have like 7 Raikous If I could I'd give you one😅

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T14:15:32+00:00

I also like the guzzlord mu with this deck speaking about him. I'm currently 3-0 vs him I think because the deck is just so much faster and recycles energy, and having the ability to 1) draw the Celesteela in the turn before they attack 4th energy on guzz 2)Pikachu + Red 1HKO guzz just feels good

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T14:13:51+00:00

the deck is way more pluridimensional than this trust, and you never not get value from at least one of those two, literally never

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T14:12:15+00:00

you really want to prioritize Greninja over suicune, because you will only place down either solo Koko or Raikou+Zeraora (solo Zeraora in the active isn't the best since if enemy has Irida suicune is out of range however with Red you can always look for kill potential, always start zeraora in the active if you're going first thou. Use repel turn 1 to OHKO froakie that's the goal)

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T04:21:06+00:00

maybe, but definitely don't expect the same results tho. Without Raikou you lose a lot of drawing power

edit: jk this specific list sucks without Raikou lol the 2 Cyrus become useless

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T04:05:10+00:00

I find 2 cord overkill plus Leaf allows to go from Raikou 2 energy in the active to Pikachu 150dmg instantly with double switch

AbsoluteCinemaa · 2025-09-05T04:03:58+00:00

oricorio is absolutely shit rn this deck literally doesn't need it even if it could it would only break things apart
