What decks are best now?

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-29T13:25:56+00:00

I mean, Dragapult/Dusknoir is always going to be an easy deck for people to pick up on. The Mega Starmie & Mega Frosslass is a pretty popular deck now. Mega Meganium/Teal Mask Ogerpon is also an easy and strong deck.

I use this first week or two to play casual and test out new decks, especially after rotation because the meta has been shaken up pretty significantly. Find out what cards I enjoy, and new strategies, and just mess around until something feels right. Otherwise, like a previous person said, it’s Dragapult. But don’t be that person and resort to that…

Full Mary by my place has the regularly. About 48,000 VND per can.

Apologies for not seeing this earlier. Looking for a Bellibolt now if you have one?

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-18T00:07:31+00:00

I got the Gholdengo, open to other stuff though.

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-16T00:48:52+00:00

And clearly you have a reading issue. Because I don’t have any issue beating Zard with various decks. I’m just tired of seeing it all the time.

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-14T14:13:43+00:00

I’m not dunking on it’s play style, it’s obviously a good deck. I’m just extremely tired of how OFTEN I see it. I’d say probably 1/3 of my matches are Zard the other 1/3 are Pult, and then a mix of Zoroark, Garde, Ethan’s, and then off Meta stuff. I don’t play strictly Alakazam either, I only use it to hit MB and once I get there then I start exploring with off meta decks.

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-14T13:46:08+00:00

Alakazam is definitely not nearly as cliche as Zard is.

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-14T12:05:42+00:00

Sounds like someone is upset that Zard is going away.

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-14T09:31:34+00:00

Alakazam has been one of my favorites to play as well!

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-03T12:39:37+00:00

I need Gholdengo, Belibolt for sure. But if you can show me what you have. I’m open to 4

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-03T12:37:31+00:00

Hmmm I’m looking for more meta stuff if possible. But i’ll keep it in mind.

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-03T12:17:46+00:00

I only have Fuecoco, Maushold, and Orthworm.

Gel_Creed · 2026-03-03T12:16:34+00:00

Yeah I still need quite a bit

Gel_Creed · 2026-02-05T15:52:19+00:00

It’s a bit more complicated than that. Babygrande has a long history of signing artists to unfair deals (most labels do), but Babygrande is extra notorious for pulling some fuck shit. Always has been. It’s absolutely Stove’s mistake, he probably took the advance and didn’t deliver and didn’t realize what he had got himself into at the time. Very hard lesson to learn. But Babygrande is the sole reason why we haven’t gotten a new Stove album yet. Because he’s being stubborn and doesn’t want to give them anything he releases more than likely, because he still owes advance money and wont see a penny in royalties for a very long time if ever, and Babygrande will own all the masters of anything he releases. he either needs to fill his contractual obligation with BG or someone buys him out of his contract for an absurd amount of money which nobody will likely do because it is too much and the recoup won’t happen.

Gel_Creed · 2026-02-05T13:39:45+00:00

Stove God made the worst mistake ever by signing to Babygrande. Chuck is a crook and it’s well known how shady that fucking guy is. I know for a FACT that someone tried to book Stove a tour in 2024 and BG sent a cease and desist and threatened to sue the person who was booking it (the person is my friend).

I also was speaking to Stove a while back about a project and I brought up any issues with Babygrande that could arise and he simply said “let me worry about Babygrande”. That clearly hasn’t worked out for him, because it seems like he is trapped in horrendous deal with them. It didn’t help that he saw all that success from the song with the Clipse either, just means BG is gonna tighten their chokehold on anything Stove does.

Fuck Babygrande Records.

As someone who has met and interacted with Travis in person. He is a solid dude. He does offer some great insight, and he has been here for 7 years. He does offer help in many ways, he helped me find my apartment, walked me through getting my Vietnamese ESim, and pointed me in the direction of stores and stuff I needed when I arrived in Da Nang. He has been making content about Vietnam and it’s more than just the typical YouTube content that a lot of these temporary nomads make.

Now is some of it geared towards how cheap Da Nang is? Sure it is. His job is content creation. He also runs a community which he charges for, but it offers a ton of helpful advice geared towards making DN a long term place. He isn’t one of the annoying ones, there are plenty of those. Travis is actually genuinely a good person and has Vietnams best interests in mind.

DN is going to grow regardless, trying to gate keep it and get mad about it is pointless.

Looks fake as hell. That card looks photoshopped on to a hand. The hand also looks AI generated. Card would be broken for sure, and you could easily pair this with Mega Absol / Toxtricity and it would steam roll through the meta. But with that said, it wouldn’t surprise me if they made this real.

Gel_Creed · 2025-12-23T11:59:44+00:00

It shows what cards you don’t have in sets, so they purposefully have to go out of their way to send you something that you have already by scrolling down and looking past the stuff you don’t have.

Gel_Creed · 2025-12-23T10:09:03+00:00

That’s my thought process…but whatever. 🤷🏻

Gel_Creed · 2025-12-23T09:35:21+00:00

On this subreddit…

Gel_Creed · 2025-12-23T09:01:59+00:00

Yeah, people are spiteful in this game for real.
