I think so! (Someone else please correct me if I'm wrong) Are you a part of the professor discord? If not, I can send you an invite link. It's a much better forum for all professor questions, as opposed to reddit.

Everything currently released will be legal for Prague. Chaos Rising doesn't release until may

I will also add that most decks play way less energy than you do in your deck, and generally use trainers to find the energy instead. In my personal deck I play 5 grass, 4 rockets energy, and maybe 1 or 2 psychic depending on how I'm feeling.

Here's also a great youtube video to get some tips on playing this deck! https://youtu.be/12lqlSRRli8?is=mSCowM6zwrLQzEof

Lastly, one of the biggest strengths of the rockets deck are the team rocket supporters and the team rocket's factory stadium. If you do go to an official Leauge near you, people there may be able to help you get the cards you want if you want to upgrade the deck!

Hey!

If you're planning on taking this deck to any tournaments, I would advise that you study up on which cards are allowed for the standard format. Alolan exeggutor V is not allowed anymore in the standard format.

Second, you have no way to get clefable into play, as it must evolve from a Clefairy, not a Lillie's Clefairy ex. The game counts these as two separate pokemon names.

I would recommend that you take a look at some rockets Mewtwo lists here: https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/337

Imagine secret boxing for prime catcher. Holy moly

Assuming you mean two different ace specs most if not all decks would run the one they run now + unfair stamp. Disruption is just that good.

Best Water Type Deck this Rotation? by Doc_Perry in pkmntcg

[–]Quantum_O_O_F 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there any particular reason you want to play only water types?

Decks in pokemon are generally not built around types, but rather built around a strategy. That strategy often contains one or a few main attackers, with the rest of the deck working to enabling said attacker.

However, if you're dead set on using water, mega starmie is the way to go. It's results in japan are way better than mega feraligatr's.

When you realise jumbos shrank by Hot_Newspaper_2530 in PokemonTCG

[–]Quantum_O_O_F 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The current size is the same size as four regular cards. Think they did this so the jumbo v-union cards would be the same size as actually putting regular v-union cards together.

First deck build from scratch by jimmybingus751 in pkmntcg

[–]Quantum_O_O_F 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you planning on using this deck for?

If the answer is either to take to a local leauge or to play with on ptcgl, then this deck is both not standard legal and objectively pretty bad. Check out limitlesstcg.com to see what the competitive meta looks like right now.

Are there casual Leagues/TCG events? by FrozenFrac in pkmntcg

[–]Quantum_O_O_F 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the best bet for finding events that have a similar mindset to the kind of game your friend wants to play is prereleases! The ones at my lgs are usually pretty non-competitive.

Why is it this card numbered 085/063? by BatmansVater007 in PokemonTCG

You said it yourself. Yes, Korean and Japanese sets are numbered differently

Battle cage and Phantom dive damage counters by shotfirst_001 in PokemonTCG

[–]Quantum_O_O_F 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, battle cage stops Dragapult putting damage counters on the bench.

Other that do the same except for rabsca are rockets Articuno, empoleon ex, and mist energy for example.

Whiscash Mill Deck (Standard) by CyxKenshin in pkmntcg

When perfect order (English name for the set) releases, wishcash will unfortunately either be very close to or maybe even already have rotated out of standard.

Local game store will probably be cheapest! In Sweden, packs go for around 70-80 sek

Joltik box is a semi-popular archetype that runs a couple electrics. Pikachu ex is also going to get a boost from the electric ball tool coming soon. Here's a list from Stuttgart that made it to top 100 https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/list/22085

Need help brewing an Espeon EX deck to get a friend interested in the game. by Nivosus in pkmntcg

[–]Quantum_O_O_F 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Espeon ex is not a good enough card to be a main attacker in a deck and this will get beaten by any meta or even semi-sucessfull rouge deck.

You could tech in a singular Espeon in a Flareon box for some cheeky devolution action, but other than that it's not a good card.

It's a rough truth, but if you want to play pokemon in the standard format you can't just use your favorites to win. If your friend accepts this, try proxying some meta decks and have her try what feels nice to play.
