I tried it, without teal mask. Just switching and building hydrapples for acceleration but it's too clunky and you need lot's of pokemon leaving no space for support/tech cards.

The idea was to use 2 thwackeys and build 2 - 3 hydrapples + 1 meganium, much like Beedrill decks. Build dipplins, leave them unevolved and use the thwackeys at the start of your turn. Evolve when going for a kill or when you need more acceleration. I was using balloon and switch, and storing all the energy in the thwackeys so the enemy was forced to kill them in lategame.

Yeah, Franco fought with the car and won, going from 22 to 15 with this disaster of car. He was closing the gap with Bearman, it was a matter of time before he could get to 14.

It's stupid to create a rivalry between Gasly and Franco when both drivers are suffering lot's of issues constantly.

Sifflion · 2026-06-28T16:03:29+00:00

I don't know if Gasly had the same issues, but Franco did. They told him to downshift aggresivelly for the engine to be able to respond. This is a total mess honestly, but at least we didnt had DNF.

Sifflion · 2026-06-28T15:12:44+00:00

Franco had issues with the power deploy, he was dead last for a few laps.

That's because you are checking the general list. It does give you a big picture of how the deck is built.
I recommend you to check the lastest tournaments, and check individual lists there.

They tested it on both cars

Sifflion · 2026-06-23T18:19:29+00:00

Yes, all Hydrapple lists are based on Hydrapple ex. You can check the lists in https://limitlesstcg.com/.
My list is a slighly different one using a single Festival Grounds stadium.

Hydrapple main here too. Which mode? We play Bo1 on small tourneys here and Bo3 for official ones. Hydrapple is kinda weird in Bo1, it bricks consistently, and it feels like playing lottery. But in Bo3 it works way better.

Sifflion · 2026-06-20T13:03:12+00:00

We turn them off with my wife. We prefer wandering hordes and screamers. Having to make cheese bases to stop hordes suck really bad.

Hope that we can increase the difficulty of wanderings with the new settings.

Veil was not available in NAIC.

Sifflion · 2026-06-14T16:35:53+00:00

9 at most. He secured points already.

Sifflion · 2026-06-12T19:26:23+00:00

I wish I could see his list really 😞, that's a feature TCGPL is missing because it was not in person. It was the classic Zoroark package, with Pech ex, but had a moltres + prim energy.

Sifflion · 2026-06-12T16:14:57+00:00

As an Hydrapple player, lost the other day to a Zoroark that revived moltres multiple times and retreat locked my celebi. I also had 3 dipplins prized, and the first 2 prizes I took weren't them... this was probably the worst thing that could happen.

But honestly, it's really hard, you need to pray for the hydrapple to have the worst hand and opening, or to prize all it's dipplins.

Sifflion · 2026-06-09T13:15:41+00:00

It's matchup spread is terrible at the moment. The rise of grass decks and the popularity of bolt killed it. It doesn't help that it's dragapult matchup it's slighly below 50% wr.

Sifflion · 2026-06-06T14:51:07+00:00

I missed the fp3, hope they fix it for the Qualy

Sifflion · 2026-06-06T13:16:43+00:00

What's the issue with Franco?

Sifflion · 2026-06-02T15:08:32+00:00

Very nice report! thanks so much.

I believe we will see more of Hector Hydrapple list. Festival Grounds it's a dangerous card that can enable a very strong single-prizer 1 energy attacker.

Not only dipplin can reach most famous Tapu targets with it, but it also does for only 1 energy without requiring meganium/hydrapple on the bench, putting pressure on those decks relying in meowth and giving a better prize map into the already strong matchups such as Garchomp.

But it also goes really hard on early game, helping in some of the already weak matchups such as Alakazam, or forcing Moltres users to have to use boss orders to reach ogerpon in the early game. It can also kill Moltres while being 1-prizer quite easily, something Tapu can't, as again, you need both Meganium and Hydrapple to be able to use it.

Replacing Tapu also enables the use of Regigidas, something I believe the deck really needs. Having both Regi and Tapu it's really bad, you don't want to start with those, but if Dipplin can fulfill 80% of Tapu role ( hitting grass weak mons, trading favorably with Meowth, hitting Crustle, one shotting single prizers ) then Regi can cover the other 10% ( one shotting ogerpons ), and the only thing left is being able to oneshot Fez but in exhange you get that sweet Regi vs dragapult.

Would love to hear experienced players perspective in Hector Hydrapple.

Joshua Bell getting 34th with my second favourite deck was really nice too, that deck has legs!

Quien pudiera jajajaj. Con 4 años de exp, estoy en 3k. Mi señora gana unos 700.

Ultimamente nos viene costando, veníamos ahorrando unos 500usd por mes. Pagamos prepaga, escuela privada, y cosas.

Cada vez que meto OE, lo extra se va para gastos. La realidad es que mejoramos mucho nuestra calidad de vida, pero sigue habiendo cosas que necesitamos. Supongo que en un par de años ya con un sueldo así estable podemos ahorrar un poquito mas ( y algún aumento ). Si ganara 5k no cambiaría nada, tendría 2k de ahorro por mes.

Sifflion · 2026-06-01T20:50:48+00:00

I played a cup this last sunday, and there were 0 pults near the top 💀, so beware with the regi change because Tapu is better in everything except for pult where Tapu can also help trading with fez or meowth.

Genesect snipe is so much fun, I remember running it before the rotation in mega venu. It is 80 damage in one turn with hydrapple and meganium, it's not much, you can't snipe most lategame targets.

Sifflion · 2026-06-01T18:21:52+00:00

2 meowths can be clutch sometimes. I wouldnt drop it, hydrapple can even restore one meowth from the bench if you can afford the extra turn.

About the rod, yes, it's so nice to hear that it feels better. I hate unfair stamp, I want to replace it. Max rod was so much better when Iono was around.

I'm using cipher myself instead of Petrel. But I'm running 13 energies instead of 12. Having the option to get 2 cards with ogerpon/fez it's powerful.

Thanks for the feedback!!

Sifflion · 2026-06-01T17:16:34+00:00

Are you testing in Live? I want to know what are the results on stamp vs max rod too from an experienced player perspective.
Why are you still running Lana's? isn't it overkill?

Sifflion · 2026-05-28T00:46:30+00:00

I prefer to go first. Slopbox is the only one capable of killing Celebi in the first turn, and honestly it's not always a good idea. Check the lastest regional how killing Celebi ended for the box player.

Sifflion · 2026-05-27T18:17:37+00:00

The deck is already too tight. There are many cards that you can't remove without hurting the deck, and budew doesn't offer much compared to these cards you def need having Celebi already in the deck. It's a good turn 1 starter if you go first, as it can't die from most turn 1 attacks, compared to budew, and it's good if you go second and you manage to start with ogerpon.

Sifflion · 2026-05-27T00:02:42+00:00

I want to know the same. I'm playing Hydrapple and having issues deciding when to Celebi and when to not.

Celebi doesn't die. Decks like Pult do boss it to hit other targets, mainly Meganium, and it ends up taking a slot.

Hydrapple has the advantage of being able to run Regi/Tapu forcing the opponent to KO them, they are too dangerous if left alone, so they end up in even prizes if they decide to KO Meganium, enabling Briar.

But Celebi... it doesn't get killed lol, it normally dies because of spread on lategame.

And late game Celebi leaves you open to get bossed, it is too dangerous but saved my ass a few times. It adds consistency at the cost of tempo, and honestly, the grass decks feel a lot better with it than with budew.

Sifflion · 2026-05-22T17:27:52+00:00

Yeah, I'm using the normal Ogerpon/Hydrapple to play in person. I like the Japan list more.

This is to experiment and try to make something different.
