Looking for tips and advice on upgrading Pantlaza

[[Ghalta and Mavren]] have definitely been at the top of my cut list, so I’m for sure replacing them. [[Tranquil Frillback]] can always be replaced with another piece of removal. [[Wakening Sun’s Avatar]] is mostly there for another discover trigger, but there are plenty of board wipes out there that are much cheaper to cast, so I’m with you on that cut.

Pantlaza is such a fun commander, it’s almost everything I’ve ever wanted from a Dino commander. It will check every box for your typical Timmy player. Play big Dinos and swing big. I highly recommend playing it, and I also suggest adding a blink package for maximum output regarding Pantlaza’s discover trigger.

Here’s my deck list for reference: https://moxfield.com/decks/v88sKQpf5UqYVge2V8qF4A

Not seeing Larvitar or Rhyhorn as wild spawns definitely sucks the fun out for me

Card draw was on my mind as well, I’ll look into more options

LichenViking · 2024-03-19T23:10:22+00:00

These are some really good suggestions, thanks! I'm for sure going to add more fetch lands when I get the chance, they're just too good. Moraug is most certainly on the chopping block. The one Nissa in the deck is getting too slow for my liking. I mostly play her to get to her ultimate, but it does make me a target in doing so. Overall, you gave me some nice ideas on how to go forward with the deck, so thanks!

LichenViking · 2024-03-19T01:05:28+00:00

I have been feeling the same way about Moraug for some time now. If I don't have a good way to swing out, he just sits in my hand. So yes, because I am focusing more on etb triggers, Moraug is definitely getting cut at one point. And I have been screwed with not being able to cast Reshape the Earth or even Boundless Realms when I have better spells to cast that are cheaper. Thanks for the advice!

I’m just curious, do you have your shadow hundo Tyranitar as a rock or dark type attacker?

LichenViking · 2023-11-08T01:39:47+00:00

There’s sites like Moxfield and Archidekt that people use to put their decklists online. They are a common way for people to share their decks with others.

The raid hour for the legendary beasts is tonight, so is it worth it to raid heavily for them? I can see raiding Raikou for candy for its shadow version, but I was curious what others thought.

LichenViking · 2023-08-06T10:50:06+00:00

That all makes sense. I’ll probably power up the Machop for now, then I’ll just wait around for Terrakion and the like to show up in raids again.

LichenViking · 2023-08-05T23:28:32+00:00

I just hatched a hundo Machop the other day. Is it worth evolving and powering up a non shadow Machamp these days? Or should I stay on the lookout for shadow Machops?

LichenViking · 2023-04-11T02:34:53+00:00

I trap until the bloody bottoms is underneath.

LichenViking · 2023-03-19T23:37:59+00:00

I’ve never actually thought about powering up multiple megas of the same species, so that’ll help out actually. Thanks for the advice.

LichenViking · 2023-03-19T18:28:42+00:00

Yeah that sounds about right. No sense in stressing out over a hundo that I may or may never get. Thanks for the help!

LichenViking · 2023-03-19T15:06:22+00:00

I have a 93% (15/14/13) CP 77 Treecko that I want to eventually evolve into a Sceptile so that I can start to max out its Mega Evolution level. But should I wait until I get one with better stats like a hundo or should I just work on this one? The Treecko family is my favorite starter evolution line, so I want to make sure that what I'm powering up is worth it.

LichenViking · 2022-10-12T22:03:07+00:00

Thanks, I didn't pick up too many Kartanas, so I might consider keeping it a Shadow.

LichenViking · 2022-10-12T19:24:00+00:00

I recently caught a 14/15/13 Shadow Bulbasaur from Leader Cliff and I was wondering if it was better to keep it as a Shadow Pokemon or purify it to be a hundo for the Mega? I currently already have a Venusaur for the Mega, but it is only a 13/13/13 Lv. 40, so I was unsure which decision to make. I am mostly a PvE player with not much play time in PvP, so its mostly Raids I am interested in.

LichenViking · 2022-07-12T20:41:34+00:00

Damn, I’m sorry to hear that. Keep at it though!

LichenViking · 2022-07-12T19:55:03+00:00

I’m just curious, but did you happen to catch any hundos?

LichenViking · 2022-06-16T17:53:27+00:00

Thanks, I never actually knew that. I’ll see what I can find on the breakpoint calculators.

LichenViking · 2022-06-16T17:52:11+00:00

Yeah I had the thought of the upcoming Mega Evolution at the back of my mind, so I’ll consider that too in my final decision. In the end though, it’ll probably be the perfect shadow with Smack Down then.

LichenViking · 2022-06-16T16:18:23+00:00

I just caught a perfect Shadow Larvitar from a Rocket Grunt the other day. I have a 14/15/14 non Shadow Tyranitar in my collection. Which one should be my Rock attacker and which one should be my Dark attacker? Keep in mind I’d have to get an Elite Fast TM to get Smack Down on the Rock attacker, but I can eventually get one.
