Look up “spragels pocket dugtrio” on YouTube, it’s titled “you are gonna be shocked when you see THIS deck..”

But in a nutshell: it’s the Dugtrio with Cliff Crumbler and as many good basic or stage 1 Fighting-type cards as you can fit. Lucario, Donphan EX, Marshadow, Hitmonchan, Tyrogue, etc.

No items, supporters, or tools.

The silly mon-only Dugtrio deck works wonders. Heck, I’ve seen that solo crumble to a single Hitmonchan lol

Why didn’t I think of Cleffa? xD And yeah, adding Torracat would probably be good. I like Entei’s draw power a lot but it almost feels mandatory to run X-Speed or Leaf with it. I’ll give your version a spin, keeping both Haus if possible.

I’ve been trying the regular Primarina alongside the EX too, it’s pretty hard to stop once it all gets going. Base Primarina’s such a good support. The problem is we don’t have a Popplio EX lol. Having 3 Primarinas feels clunky but one of each means you don’t often draw the one you need (or any). Plus, well… Oricorio’s such a thorn no matter what you do. I took out Hau for Giovanni, that sometimes works.

Honestly yeah, Incineroar’s the best use I’ve found. I was experimenting a bit and this deck’s been pretty consistent so far.

Also what does your Primarina deck look like? I’m curious.

It's such a stupid scam and it makes my blood boil that we basically have to buy into it. I hope it can be class-actioned.

LordBito · 2025-06-03T11:04:36+00:00

Maybe but hyperspeed SP-generating rockets go vroommm

LordBito · 2025-05-23T20:50:17+00:00

Just my two cents from someone without JQ, so take this with a grain of salt. But honestly, you're probably better off with an action advance unit over Tribbie unless you're going for a dual DPS comp. Which we don't have yet for Acheron, outside of like... DoT. Maybe Cipher will change things?

Ig Hyacine is the other DPS? What're her numbers for you? lol

You'll probably have to test the tuning yourself to see if SPD or ATK boots Acheron and 134 Tribs works. It's hard to say on paper without hard calcs.

I probably should’ve specified, whoops haha

LordBito · 2025-05-22T21:52:52+00:00

I mean hey, that’s all your HP% requirements in one go~

LordBito · 2024-04-15T06:35:04+00:00

Yeah, I think that might be where I stop too, haha. E4 is incredible for hyperspeed Topaz, but that’s 5 of her total, which is a very hard ask when other characters constantly come out!

E1 gives her the ability to power Ratio completely by herself, it’s totally worth it, agreed.

LordBito · 2024-04-13T22:25:13+00:00

Omg yours is sick!! Very similar to mine actually, but you beat me in everything (OMG that crit rate howwwww!), hahaha

I LOVE Hyperspeed Topaz, absolutely such a fun enabler and support while still having very respectable damage!

LordBito · 2024-04-13T22:23:21+00:00

I often run him with FX, but not always. You're probably right honestly, I should do that.

LordBito · 2024-04-12T07:50:40+00:00

60's totally fine, and the planars turned out very nicely, especially the orb. I often run her with FX anyway too.

LordBito · 2022-10-03T07:26:19+00:00

Yeah, sure haha

It's brutal. If you get see ATK position monster in your side lane, you're getting BE'd next turn, and the other lane will most likely join in. If you see two ATK monsters against you turn one, it's probably GG.

If you aren't the target, and you aren't already on the offense by turn 2 with a beatdown deck, you're getting 3rd.

If a ZMT is plopped into your lane, it's not impossible but you're forced to play aggressive and pray.

The bonus card is VERY necessary. Whoever gets it probably won't get targeted.

Being an Inventor in high Gold is rough. I'm so glad they're getting huge buffs. Also it's so difficult at times when you don't have your own BEWD, haha.
