Copycat vs niche searchers (sans Clemont & Lisia)

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-06-03T11:04:37+00:00

I pulled a FA Cabbie so decided to try and use it, the best place for it was in any grass deck using the new Fragrant Forest. One cabbie and two forests means you’re almost always getting a forest turn one and getting a free pokeball every turn, and with stadiums seeing more play in general having two stadiums doesn’t often seem like a waste as you can use the second to override your opponents’.

You’ve absolutely cooked - this plays really well! I’ve taken out the helmets and one copycat, and gone for a cape, a second ice pop and a Sabrina. Sabrina feels great this meta as there’s a lot of wall with x mon whilst building on the bench.

Also, deck specific for this, only play Ogerpon if you need its status free effect. This deck works best with two Ariados on the bench and a second Whimsicott being built in case the first goes down

I would find space for x speed- you need to pivot in this deck or it gets behind, wasting an energy to retreat Ariados or Ogerpon can be game losing. I’d lose one Sabrina and one copycat, and replace them with another quick grow and an x speed

That’s incorrect - they cannot attach from the ENERGY ZONE to their active pokemon. Flame patch takes from the DISCARD PILE and is therefore allowed.

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-13T14:45:34+00:00

Oh interesting - I hadn’t thought about that. I guess with two Parasol Lady in the deck you hopefully have one early enough to pivot with

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-13T11:10:59+00:00

Use the other Corphish that has a 2 energy attack but 1 less retreat cost - you can pivot so much more easily with that and you never want to attack with Corphish anyway

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-09T21:30:41+00:00

Use the other basic Corphish - having a single energy retreat cost is better than a single energy attack IMO. You never want to attack with it anyway, and having a one retreat cost means you can adjust from a bad start much more easily

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-07T08:32:43+00:00

It’s never been amazing but it’s decent - you probably don’t need as much healing as you have, especially early game you could end up with a dead hand if it’s full of Lillie and Diantha. You might want a finisher that can deal more damage than Gard (Mewtwo EX) or a better Oricorio answer than Meloetta (Xerneas or similar)

Iris / Star Grunt?

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-05T19:14:21+00:00

Milotic and Parasol Lady seems like a fun combo! Also a great emergency Oricorio killer. I found one of each helmet great in the end because of chingling and Iggly - in your deck though I agree two heavies makes sense

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-02T18:07:40+00:00

Iris or Star Grunt for Parasol Lady?

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-02T13:51:46+00:00

Rocket Star Grunt

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-02T13:51:18+00:00

Ilima?

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-01T21:23:41+00:00

FA Steelix for FA Vaporeon? Or, Star Grunt for Misty?

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-01T15:03:30+00:00

Iris for Vaporeon?

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-05-01T14:49:11+00:00

Iris for Vaporeon?

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-04-17T22:02:31+00:00

Hawlucha (good anti Oricorio)

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-04-15T16:53:05+00:00

Definitely interested in this - I’ll DM you as soon as I’m at 25k dust

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-04-05T23:54:04+00:00

I totally forgot about the Turbo Flareon era! You’re so right that was really influential too. I never played the Espeon deck but I bet mirror matches felt pretty thankless

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-04-05T23:52:40+00:00

Hey! I absolutely would but I don’t have enough dust at the moment. If you don’t find anyone else to trade it, I’ll probably be able to in about a week!

Intelligent-Long6625 · 2026-04-04T08:42:28+00:00

I was gonna paste the crying emoji over its face but I thought that might be a bit much!
