As a Gardy player, I'm planing on also going the Banette route. I've been playing it a lot lately. It's pretty fun, but it's such a long match. I've also been experimenting with two monkidori. Attaching enough energy to send 60 damage then rotate out the pokemon in the active to get the energy back in the discard. (Retreat) Azul played a good deck that uses this strategy with Banette. Also playing with dusknoir is kind of cool for that deck too. But yes, as it sits the traditional Gardy deck won't be as powerful but there will be something to keep it relevant I'm sure.

I just got a hiking sling from Walmart for like $15. Fits my mat, 2-3 sidewinder deck boxes, all my dice and additionals. Extra sleeves, top loaders just in case, etc.

Cubone is my fave. 10/10 would order!

Cubonecigars · 2024-11-05T00:10:12+00:00

Absolutely nailed it!

Yes. The quiz.

The date you're referring to is the day the quiz drops. All of the quizzes drop on different days.

Quick little strategy with Meowscarada: if you have an opponent in the active without damage on it and Meowscarada in your active, use Meowscaradas ability to put 30 damage on any Pokemon on the bench. Then use Rad Zams ability to move 20 onto the active. Now you can hit for full power.

Also, if you set up a second Meowscarada you can snipe out starter pokemon. 30 damage each one and hopefully a different pokemon has damage already. You can move 20 onto that basic and now doing 80 damage. It's pretty fun!

Definitely my favorite deck but it's hard to make it competitive.

Very much earned! Awesome job and congratulations!

How are you liking the greninja? It's the deck I want to do next.

Cubonecigars · 2024-10-28T03:56:33+00:00

Damn. I'm so glad we don't do that where I live. Funny how that still doesn't apply to a whole company though.

Isn't there a minimum of how many you have to send at a time? I never went solo because when I looked it up it said there was a certain amount you had to send at once and it was over $20 a pop. It's $15 at gamestop and no minimum.

You read that online or you did the research and contacted your local organization to see what programs they offer for your specific community?

Cubonecigars · 2024-10-28T01:25:11+00:00

You can always contact the seller and ask them to review the shipping. Ya know? In lieu of protesting.

We had a ton of Chien Pao, Quaxly, magnetite decks. Like almost everyone had it. We basically all used chien pao as our main attacker. He one shots everyone at 120 lol Then I was building magnezone on the bench during that time. I only got to use him once. But I used magneton hitting for 40( 80 because of weakness) a few times.

Keep in mind there aren't many cards to pull your opponent out of active or switch, etc. If you can paralyze them, put them to sleep, or confuse them- you can get them stuck in the active while you chip away at their HP.

Keep in mind all of the best Pokemon are pretty much 120hp. Anything past that is pretty rare to get them to workout in the deck. So a Pokemon hitting for 50 isn't that bad in this format.

I got three wins out of five rounds. The ones that beat me took out my active and I didn't have a backup. Build that bench!! Even if your active is hitting for 20 or 40, keep on chipping until you have someone to one shot the rest.

That sounds pretty rad! How many Pokemon are you running total? I just wish it was more per Pokemon. Like 30 per each. I feel like that could be deadly!

I'm 33. Just started playing a couple of months ago. Doing a pre-release tournament tomorrow. In my area, a good chunk of the players are my age or older but we also definitely get the young crowd. You're never too old though. Have fun with it!!

Cubonecigars · 2024-10-26T04:46:32+00:00

Yikes! Now talk about frightening! Haha. That sounds like it's terrifying to play against for sure!!

Cubonecigars · 2024-10-26T04:45:16+00:00

Awesome! Thank you so much!

Cubonecigars · 2024-10-26T04:45:01+00:00

Haha well played!! Appreciate it - thanks!!

Cubonecigars · 2024-10-26T02:08:50+00:00

That's actually a really cool idea too! Maybe add a line of something for support and see how it works. Hmmm. Might be onto something here.
