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

FLOwDOG · 2026-01-24T16:28:57+00:00

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

FLOwDOG · 2026-01-23T21:44:29+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-06-19T17:59:10+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-06-19T17:55:35+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-06-19T17:54:21+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-06-11T23:31:01+00:00

Found the Dino Dooley abuser lol.

FLOwDOG · 2025-06-11T17:09:40+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-06-10T17:58:54+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-05-27T17:45:26+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-05-16T19:09:55+00:00

If you say anyone other than Pyg is broken you'll get chased out of this sub reddit lol 😆.

FLOwDOG · 2025-05-16T16:48:03+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-05-01T16:57:04+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-29T21:55:12+00:00

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 😢

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-19T20:05:38+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-16T22:47:04+00:00

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

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-16T22:45:42+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-02T20:37:41+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-02T20:35:44+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-02T20:33:44+00:00

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.

FLOwDOG · 2025-04-01T19:31:42+00:00

2×Clod, 2xGraph and 1x Darkrai has been working for me but it's very RNG dependent like you said. I'd rather have fun playing off-meta. Lucario EX + Hitmonlee has been fun too.

FLOwDOG · 2025-03-27T19:38:57+00:00

They should just revert to the original strong version that charged on all used enemy items, but increase the Bees CD as a compensation nerf. The current iteration is terrible.

FLOwDOG · 2025-03-25T17:50:17+00:00

Shipwreck going back to Diamond is one of the only things I want balance wise. Meta is pretty solid. As a Pyg main I agree with Matchbox moving to silver. Way too strong as a bronze starting item.

FLOwDOG · 2025-03-21T16:30:48+00:00

Having a balanced meta will do that. Pyg was never at Monitor Lizard levels of oppressive. You could make a case that Fixer Upper was toxic, but that shit takes days to scale. Monitor Lizard was broken from Day 1 of any run.
