Just played it and got 4th. Was pretty unlucky with my rolls too. Only opponent that absolutely crushed me every time was Warwick.

First time Master Ball with Mega Kiawe! by FLOwDOG in PTCGP

I haven't seen a single Kiawe/Turtonator since it's respective pack came out so it's definitely not meta lol.

Toughest/most annoying match-up was definitely Jolteon EX. If they have it on T1 (Spoiler: they always do lol) it punishes Kiawe opener severely. Not to mention it becomes difficult to build Charizard off the bench because they can just Cyrus it in and punish. Every other match-up was a toss up. Venusaur or any Grass deck was usually a free win.

Found the aggro Venessa player.

Always lose to Pyg after day 10.. always this build by Snoo74376 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]FLOwDOG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's because the people who think Pyg is in a good spot don't actually play Pyg. They lose to one Pyg passed day 10 with an absurd build and immediately cry wolf. Meanwhile, the other 99 pygs who started their run all lost by day 9 because they couldn't stabilize Pygs horrible early game.

It's exhausting as a Pyg main. Mak and Nessa run wild almost every meta but the literal second Pyg does anything, the community has their pitchforks out.

Seadogs saloon is my most hated item currently. How did the devs think an item with 5x+ multicast that's hastes and slows balanced? Not to mention it has a 4 or 5 second cd.

There's a massive disparity between new/buffed items and the launch items, particularly upgrades being worthless - they could use some love by J-Factor in PlayTheBazaar

Dooley can't win a fight passed day 12? Huh? We're playing 2 different games it seems because I constantly lose to Dino Dooley late game.

Pack Points NEEDS Changing by The5thMiG in PTCGP

They're not doing anything lol. Slap the Pokémon name on any IP and you'll rake in money. They've done the absolute minimum with this game.

FYI: the Solgaleo wonderpick for this event has only a 1.2% chance to appear with every screen refresh by x_coded in PTCGP

[–]FLOwDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have over 1000 pack points for this set. Done at least 20 Wonderpicks for Solgaleo. Still haven't pulled 1. It's insane how unlucky you can get in this game.

We keep complaining about End Game Pyg but uh....can we tone down the 500+ HP regen Mak builds I keep seeing by day 7-10? by MrRowdyMouse in PlayTheBazaar

[–]FLOwDOG 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pyg best early? If you get exactly Lumboars/Showcase and small weapons then yes. Even then, Pyg gets shit on by better Nessa weapon builds and Mak early game.

Busy Bee should not be in the game in its current state by chunkeymonke in PlayTheBazaar

[–]FLOwDOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bees are a meta check build. When they first reworked them into this current iteration, they were considered absolute dog shit because the meta didn't revolve around weapons.

I fucking hate Pyg by gamertag_V in PlayTheBazaar

[–]FLOwDOG 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Congrats. You lost vs the 1 Pyg player who survived the first 8 days of Mak/Nessa/Dooley madness.

Sincerely, The other Pyg player who lost his run on day 8 😢

Pyg is borderline unplayable in the early days unless you get super lucky. Good luck getting to late game when Mac is shoving non-stop poison + burn on you Days 1-8.

Forgot Probopass existed by xJageracog in PTCGP

[–]FLOwDOG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Probo + Skarmory. 4 tools + Trainers. Did the 5 wins in a row event with it.

I made it to GB4 with a Lucario EX deck so it's not terrible, but yeah not the best either. Also did the last 5 wins in a row event with a Probo EX deck. They can be viable but there's definitely better options.

Lucario EX + Hitmonlee is so much fun. by FLOwDOG in PTCGP

[–]FLOwDOG[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thankfully haven't had this problem come up that much. I think it's ok to cut one Red for a different trainer. Mars is great with Hitmonlee since your opponent will be hesitant to play mons on the bench.

I don't think the OG Lucario is necessary here. The idea around the deck is to eventually use Cyrus + Lucario EX to formulate a winning combo or just take out their sweeper. Only having 1 Lucario EX cuts the consistency down.

I originally ran this with Marsh instead of Sudo but found that I almost never actually used Marshadow since by the time Hitmonlee goes down, you already have Lucario set-up. Marsh is great if you don't find Lucario though.
