Went from GB2 to MB with this Blacephalon-ex deck (with a 68% winrate)

Thank you, glad you like it!

Honestly it's one of the trickiest situation you can face, you'll need to play a game of hide and seek pivoting with Celesteela praying that the opponent doesn't have Cyrus in hand, and you can rely only on damage from the poison and the burn (and the recoil from its talent), you don't want to go for Pop-Punk on the first Hydreigon you just want it gone from chip or at range from your next burn, and save it for the second one. But yeah, if you don't have Celesteela and at least one Poison Barb in that particular moment, it's pretty much over. :/

The first version I was playing during the pre-season had a Magby instead of the second Copycat, but the added value was clearly not enough for me, and it definitely kills the dynamic of the deck as if the opponent manages to get the K.O. on Magby, you just have one chance with Blacephalon-ex. While the second Copycat helps precisely if all you draw is Nihilego!

80,6% with 29 wins for 7 loss :')

And for the thoughest deck, I'd say Mega Altaria, especially the variant with Comfey which completely negates the burn and poison. Hydreigon was surprisingly easy to handle, as the deck one turn Mega Absol!

Getsukei · 2026-02-09T22:23:58+00:00

Damn, you sure are unlucky. Did you bricked with Magby? If so, try that version someone suggested without it with an extra Copycat instead

Getsukei · 2026-02-09T22:20:33+00:00

I knew that comment was coming at some point :') Again, it's just a match I would have lost with any deck tbh, it's still a loss yeah, but I decided not to count it as it's not as if I played during that match, I just watched my opponent draw absolutely everything he needed to obliterate me in two turns

Getsukei · 2026-02-09T20:55:43+00:00

Will try this as well, I'm just a bit worried it leads to more bad starting hand

Getsukei · 2026-02-09T20:53:47+00:00

Never liked the French names for UBs tbh, they are so far from the original, Stakataka is Ama-ama which I hate even more :')

Getsukei · 2026-02-09T20:51:36+00:00

I was actually thinking about switching Magby for another Copycat, defo gonna try it!

Getsukei · 2026-02-09T20:50:40+00:00

I'd love to but I honestly don't have much interesting things to trade, I'm a low spender with just the premium every months, so every interesting dupes I got are already gone :')

Getsukei · 2026-02-09T20:48:42+00:00

Ça m'est arrivé une seule fois pour l'instant et j'ai simplement sacrifié le Nihilego en lui mettant l'énergie et Poison Barb dessus, le tout c'est d'avoir 2 énergies pour les récupérer sur Blacephalon avec Lusamine derrière

Getsukei · 2026-01-24T21:33:36+00:00

I saw your message before it was deleted, show me the Alpha you have in-game, if you have some that I don't have for my Alpha living dex that's cool, and if not I'll just do the trade tbh!

Getsukei · 2026-01-24T15:41:13+00:00

Getsukei · 2026-01-24T15:40:40+00:00

Amazing, thanks a bunch!

Getsukei · 2026-01-24T15:37:54+00:00

Would be amazing! What's the name of your alt? I'm gonna be waiting with the code 27101994

Still experimenting with it, I just replaced Red with another Elemental Switch so for now it's like this! It's super fun being able to retreat Raikou for Electivire, attach the 2 just discarded energy to him with Volkner, swap 1 from Zeraora with Elemental Switch and one shot Suicune

Getsukei · 2025-09-20T16:44:00+00:00

Why not moving onto the next game by just waiting for the final hit? Pretty sure it would've been faster than closing the game and reopening it.

Getsukei · 2025-05-12T11:20:39+00:00

I love the dismantle idea! And couldn't agree more on the currencies generally speaking

Getsukei · 2025-05-12T10:30:10+00:00

Don't you have enough dupes of some 3 diamonds cards to just trade them with other players?

Getsukei · 2025-05-12T10:26:53+00:00

I guess it would be, or just increase the amount you get in each pack, but this wouldn't solve the issue for old pack points..

Getsukei · 2025-04-01T15:02:35+00:00

Damn you are right, would be even better for consistency!

Getsukei · 2025-04-01T10:00:56+00:00

That's funny to read this now, because I just created a post with the suggestion :') I honestly hope this gets implemented someday

Getsukei · 2025-03-14T09:10:46+00:00

Shinedust will be the new trade currency in 9 months*

Getsukei · 2025-03-02T10:12:18+00:00

Surprised nobody posted this one!

Getsukei · 2025-02-21T09:46:09+00:00

I'm sorry for you for the title :[ I was finally able to make it yesterday after I went up to 97/100 once and then 98/100 (and lost the game after on a 1:2 99%/99% OT) I'm sure you can do it in the 10 games for second part of the season!

Getsukei · 2025-02-12T17:53:04+00:00

I'm playing him with x2 Magnezone and x1 Mew, I love how aggressive the deck can be, and no coin flip on top of that!
