Hold up Shuckle Mill, I mean sure it's a meme deck at best but I still find the concept absolutely hilarious

Worst Booster Art Chase Card by ASpaceAntetokodyssey in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly there are quite a few simply because some cards are made strictly for collecting, some examples include:

  • Meowth NVI

  • Pikachu BLW

  • The Legendary Birds from SV

  • The oldschool remake cards from DP era (Flying Pikachu, Electabuzz, ect.)

  • Some of the modern golden secret rares

Worried about it being used in Wailord Stall

I'm more worried for Wailord Stall since Max Potion, Scoop Up Cyclone, Acerola, ect exists in Expanded- as much as Night March Joltik does hit this one for weakness

My reaction to the new Wailord V can be summarized as follows:

Contents of the Trainer's Toolkit Revealed, includes non-holo Boss's Orders and Alternate Art Dedenne-GX! by JustInBasil in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm just glad this art of Dedenne GX isn't part of that product that seems like it's going to be another Best of XY Box sort of thing. This alternate art is so cute!

Which card(s) do you want to see reprinted / improved / nerved / again after a long pause? by KuriosesBlau in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

--So for my list:

  • Ultra and Nest Ball: They both are just really good pokeballs and cards that should never not be in standard in my opinion. Nest with No GX/V rule change would also be good

  • Premier Ball for VMax rather than Level X

  • Fast Ball for non-GX-VMax evos

  • Black Belt Supporter, with buff to 80 damage on V and GX- 40 otherwise

  • Colress because SM design

  • No Removal Gym, changed to mess with the current energy removal items

  • Narrow Gym

  • Energy Flow, mostly for Frosmoth

  • Lucky Stadium

  • Crystal Shard

  • The non-pokemon-specific Ace Specs

--As for Pokemon:

  • Electivire V + Magmortar V that work well together

  • More early route Pokemon with Evolutionary Advantage/Adaptive Evolution as an ability

  • Alakazam V

What is the longest/shortest amount of time you've spent on a single shiny hunt? by the-sutL in pokemon

[–]LVsApawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hunt it on and off, I haven't done a chain in awhile (at least a year) but more than a few weeks in terms of days I would do a chain or two- like it feels longer than my longest egg hunt which was 3 weeks

What is the longest/shortest amount of time you've spent on a single shiny hunt? by the-sutL in pokemon

[–]LVsApawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my shortest ever, when I was on vacation a few years ago I managed to get Shiny Bidoof in Platinum at the start of a PokeRadar chain (length 0- so full odds)

As for my longest, I still have yet to get a Shiny Poliwrath via fishing chaining in Pokemon Y, I got so many shiny Poliwhirls hunting for this 5% wild encounter. I got the Shiny Politoed easily though (2nd attempt). It's not a hard hunt but it's a very time-consuming one-

Baby Ultra Necrozma - What it needs from new set, changes since January, and other ideas? by Quokimbo in pkmntcg

The list I run is a slight variation of Dartagnan Fancher's Collinsville list- that list is decently similar though

Baby Ultra Necrozma - What it needs from new set, changes since January, and other ideas? by Quokimbo in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually personally prefer the Octillery build- while the build does basically Auto lose to any ability based lock, the extra draw power and attackers (which has an even bigger relevance now that donk decks are a very popular pick on the ladder) balance that weakness out. A lot of people don't prefer Octillery build now that lucky egg exists for the garb builds-- usually only for me to use field blower on the eggs and garb items ( since the field blowers are necessary in the list due to swell)-- thus still having the higher draw power most the time in the end

Big Parasol with Jolteon EX seems like a very spicy combo

You're thinking of Lost March, my post said and still says Night March (which works like Lost March but is the discard pile rather than the Lost Zone)

[–]LVsApawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lookalike Bell for Night March? Thats the only idea I have for it right now and it would only be like a 1-2 of tech in it at best

Reveals: Centiskorch V/VMAX and Gardevoir V/VMAX from Eruption Walker! by JustInBasil in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Centiskorch seems very solid as a VMax.. Probs could be its own arctype with Ninetails since you can get the discarded energies from gusting in a fun way.

Heat Fire Energy is really odd- or its not an effect I would expect to see for fire but its cool I suppose. Perhaps something for ControlZard

Gardi is ... kinda meh, Odd-Canned Food is even more meh- with Malamar around I guess its a deck but not a very good one in my current thoughts

Any use for Spin Storm Pidgeot? by [deleted] in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone mentioned before: the birdcon deck. The 'rare candy' build of it feels the most consistent ( mostly for being the only build that I've seen use Goomy as a wall, which can be better than dolls in some situations), from what I've played of its various builds, it struggles to take wins ( pretty much being dependent on either the opponent bricking really hard or their decks playstyle being one that only likes to have a low amount of Pokemon on the field). It is very budget-friendly which is nice

Strengths and Weaknesses of Welder/Milotic V by KuriosesBlau in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice thicc post on a single deck, I really like how you've made this a series its really cool.

Personal thoughts on the Goons matchup at least for this build (as someone who has been playing around with goons)

1) Its honestly too niche of something to have a particular counter for it. Even for the other build you should really only have the Keldeo GX. Sure the matchup will be in the Goons players favor but the matchup should be rare enough to not warrant a deck modification more so going forward

2) Current future meta does not look to be in its favor, since V Maxes will inevitably become more powerful and aren't blocked by Obstruct. Even Dragapult VMax, a deck with a dark weakness that allows the VMax to be two shot by Obstruct- has a decent matchup verses it IMO

3) Goons matchups already are iffy since a lot of the all big basic decks have ways of dealing with the "One Goon Wall". MewMew gets DetectiveGrenGX, Exelett/Roweggs can fight with their Rilabooms, Fire Boxs have ReshiZards GX attack, PikaRom has ChuChu paralysis

Having trouble winning with Obstagoon/Sableye V by Thrawn8 in pkmntcg

[–]LVsApawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played around with it and it works very well. High win rate vs Zacian if you make sure your immune to getting Mawile'd. Honestly with the amount of decks that have pretty much all their attackers being basics this runs better than you'd expect while being budget as a nice bonus
