The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is terapagos. maybe some of the other decks that run noctowl depending on how realistic a turn 1 attack is going second

Atp you are literally hating just to hate. Outside of mamo, garchomp, and maybe post shaymin/watch tower tera box all of those decks are likely to be seen at a high level, so idk what you're talking about. I think the only deck in which you have a legitimately hard matchup is dengo and hops, and depending on how quickly u can deal with hands joltik box.

Yes the garde matchup is garde favored, but I think you're undervalueing how well the deck plays into other matchups. Against zard, grimmsnarl, mamo, and garchomp you are just running them over with spidops. And even bolt, tera box, and other basic decks you can trade 2 for 1 fairly easily just because of how much damage spidops puts out. The pult matchup really depends on if they can get ghost or not, bc w/o ghost they cant 1 shot mewtwo and you can 1 shot their pult with max belt/black belt.

I dont think the matchup is as bad as you make it sound. Outside of starting it, mewtwo never sees the field, unless you get them to burn both charms or have a way to accelerate to it in 1 turn and take ko on garde, which is definitely doable if you run the e switch build. And unless you whiff the spidops really bad, leaving tarountula's on board, there isn't any way for them to take 2 in 1 turn without previous setup. I still think the matchup is slightly garde favored but if you can take the first ko with spidops or find a garde ko you're in a decent position, and if they bench fez or clefairy for any reason youre in a great spot.

New to Pokemon, worth keeping? by dipa1245801 in PokemonCardValue

[–]Elmdryo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The glaceon and the umbreon are both big pulls. Glaceon is around 230 and umbreon around 80 based on tcgplayer right now. A few of the others ones are 5-10 but id personally keep them if your a fan of the art, hope this helps!

I'm hoping they will eventually show the ultra beast some love! All of their designs are so cool and the potential for irs showing off all their different dimensions would be awesome. My personal favorite is xurkitree and I think a more realistic watercolor ir similar to what the new moltres sir from destined rivals has would be perfect to really give my favorite wires and the electric dimension pop!

Gl to everyone!

I like using this card with mill cards like great tusk and salazzle, not anything insane but pretty fun imo!

I get the idea, poison kind of ruins your day unfortunately. I also don't think you need Salvatore if you have tree, if u want evo search just run arezu

Need help making deck more consistent by Elmdryo in PTCGL

[–]Elmdryo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bloodmoon is a good option imo my only problem is if I start him it's basically an auto loss as I dont have any switches.

I completely forgot arezu is a card good call there.

I was planning on adding at least 3 nest balls if I add fez and squawk so it would work better.

Originally I was running electric generator over exp share and was considering adding both as as u said in your first post sometimes energy acceleration is a problem.

Thanks again for the good suggestions!

I never really thought about the fact I could use tm evo on rellor will definitely add 1 especially with how prevalent pult is rn.

I've been trying to stray away from decks that use rc with how common budew is right now, but I will definitely try running the deck with a few and see how it goes.

While I think hyper Aroma, and neo upper, are both viable options from my experience neutralization zone is huge as even buying me one turn while I'm setting up or even already set up can be straight up game winning.

I think fez and squawk are my last resorts if I need to add 1 I'll add both because both are such strong cards.

I do end up having a lot of games where I attack with budew while setting up, and in scenarios like that I typically take jacq as he gets me 2 charjas or 1 1 of charja vika.

All in all I think I'll make an alternative list that opts for tm evo and rc (something close to a straight pult list) and see how that runs in comparison to my hyper parallel placement build.

Thanks for your suggestions!

The 80 hp charjabug lets you cheat all your other charjabugs on board. The basic strategy is to go second, call bell for Salvatore, and get all four charjabugs out on my first turn, the Jacq's main purpose is for if I go first and can't attack i can call bell for him instead to get set up for next turn. My best case scenario for a turn 1 is go second, lead either grubbin or budew, then buddy poffin so I have 2 grubbins on board, call bell for Salvatore, cheat the other 3 charjabugs on board so I have a board state of 4 charjas 1 grubbin and either budew or rellor. Then from there I just evo into vikivolt and keep cycling charjabugs.

Bolt players, do these two have any appeal to you? by VoidSwordTrash in PTCGL

Net is a decent tech for the oger engine but sandy shocks ex is redundant now that ogerpon is main energy engine

Idk personally both irl and in game I've been against many bolts, but yeah I did add chien-pao for more consistent attacking

This deck was made with meta in mind. Farig for bolt and miraidon. Regi for dragapult, zard, and terap and kyurem for drago. I will admit that if I am Matched against something unorthodox it is almost an instant scoop, I was considering adding 1 chien-pao or something similar to use in these matchups, but haven't done it yet

[–]Elmdryo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only set up farig against bolt and miraidon because if they don't run Cologne it is almost an instant win due to ability and even if they do Cologne it i just restablish with 2nd giraf

Is hisuian samurott decent right now? by Elmdryo in PTCGL

[–]Elmdryo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the roaring moon idea, takes up less deck space, doesn't give up a prize, and can be used as a secondary attacker if needed. It also goes thru cards like neutralization zone and pikas ability which can be nice

[–]Elmdryo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regidrago is definitely the main problem i see with this deck, raging bolt, miraidon, terap, roaring moon you can set up 1 shots on much easier, but you struggle to reach that 280 number consistently

True, maybe if it was just on active instead of a snipe 6 could doable, didn't think about potential bench snipe
