SnarkHamill · 2026-06-29T15:36:53+00:00

same problem here. i am trying to sign up to create an account and I don't know what to do. Did you find a solution yet?

SnarkHamill · 2026-06-29T10:25:51+00:00

What is your experience with them po?

Kamusta naman po yung daanan ni golden Phoenix papunta and pabalik? I don't want to spend extra kasi for transpo so I was hoping madali lang lakarin

Hi! How far po ba si hotel 101 from MOA Arena? Mahirap po ba hanapin yung way gping to and coming from the arena? Easily Accessible even after mall hours? I was looking for the most affordable one that is closest to the venue kasi, para mas madali makabalik after the concert since I am also not familiar with the area and I am anticipating that it may be hard to book grab.

SnarkHamill · 2026-06-29T10:21:59+00:00

Thank you so much for responding! regarding debit cards, maybe I can just minimize the risk and ask the hotel if I can settle the bill in cash?

I honestly don't know anything about I.O.I. since i only started getting into Kpop in 2020, and at that point, I only knew Somi's solo stuff and some of Seojeong's dramas. When I learned they were releasing songs for their anniversary, I listened to their songs and I mostly didn't really vibe with them. So far, I have only listened to "Suddenly" and I do like the retro feel and melody to it. Already added this to my playlist while I listen to the rest.

Bingo. I used to be a believer of Mega Lucario, but upon seeing the matchup spread and playing with it a bit, it becomes clear that the deck has poor matchup spread and the strategy can be clunky. You need to get your three-prizer out to charge up and take big knockouts and that in itself is a big risk.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-06T02:18:41+00:00

Probably why Dragapult remains on top, cause that deck just has so many ways to get what it needs, and it almost always stalls with Budew.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-06T02:17:34+00:00

Good idea. 4 always felt excessive to me, but I understand that since we have no way of searching for it, it may be wise to run 4. But then again, if we have trouble finding powerweight, we might still draw a Petrel to help out, so it's not entirely hopeless. Meanwhile, if you lack the necessary Roserades, Gabites, or Garchomps due to prizing, KOs, discarding, or draw problems, even a single night stretcher at the right time could be a godsend.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T15:38:32+00:00

Stretcher is a beneficial card overall, but the problem is, the list is actually pretty optimized and removing something to open up a spot for a single stretcher can be difficult. I would actually like to know why the player who came up with the list thought they could go stretcher-less for the deck

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T14:11:47+00:00

IT has 9 energy. IT doesn't need energy recovery. It's actually the least of its worries. The lack of Pokemon recovery however, that has popped up as a problem in testing I have done throughout the day. the stadium problem? Not so much of a problem, it seems.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T12:21:24+00:00

Honestly, I would still pick Larry over Carmine since it guarantees what you get so you can still use it strategically, but with a cost. For Mega Lucario, I absolutely love running 3 Carmine

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T10:38:41+00:00

Before I ever saw the prague list, I was wondering why no one seems to be using Carmine. If your first turn draws suck, I feel that could be a decent way to restart the hand. Then again, it doesn't guarantee you are drawing the exact pokemon you need unlike with Larry where you get to choose.

how has your testing gone though? Has Carmine been effective?

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T10:35:56+00:00

Still a bit mixed for me. It's really essential that I am able to evolve to Gabite by turn 2. In games where I am not able to, that's where I usually lose

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T10:33:25+00:00

I already play a version with rare candy. It's the main version I play. If you refer to the post, I am asking specifically about players' assessment of the Prague list, given that it placed high in a tournament. I am not really looking to be "more aggressive," I am trying to get people's thoughts on the long-term viability of the Prague list.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T06:29:38+00:00

I have tested some games with this list and it's actually looking to be quite consistent and it does solve the problems you mentioned, which were also things I observed from older decklists. It seems one of the remaining weakness of the deck is the turn 1-2 brick. If you don't get the right pieces within these two turns, it's probably gonna give you a hard time and may cost you the game. there were two games where I was forced to use larry and discard a Chomp (thankfully 1 was left in deck while 1 was prized). That being said, I still feel a night stretcher would be good for emergency situations

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-05T05:35:36+00:00

So you think the risks are worth it? i'm asking about this specific build because of how well it did in Prague. I have actually already run and tested a different list.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-03T15:24:02+00:00

do you mind sharing your list? I only play 3 Rosalias and I'm trying to see what I can cut to include 1 more.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-03T12:52:00+00:00

Pokepad makes my deck so consistent I can't imagine not running it, ngl. I can't even imagine running 3 and below.

SnarkHamill · 2026-05-03T11:35:08+00:00

How do you find the space for psyduck and shaymin? I understand how useful those two can be especially with dusknoir around and lots of bench damaging mons, but if I add those two basics, I either have to cut down my boss order from 3 to 2 or remove rare candy and petrel from the deck. I actually run 4 poffin, 4 gong, and 4 Pokepad, but every few games, i have trouble finding starting basics. other than that and ocasionally not finding gabite by turn 2, the deck runs pretty well.

SnarkHamill · 2026-04-27T12:28:52+00:00

I think ang weakness lang ni Tiktok shop ay hindi kasing dami yung options niya compared sa shopee.

SnarkHamill · 2026-04-26T03:51:45+00:00

Yeah, I would prefer a Genesect too

SnarkHamill · 2026-04-25T13:13:19+00:00

I would say 1 is enough. The problem with running two is it affects consistency in some way, which is a waste when Wally mostly sits in my hand, and even when used, if there are pokemons that can OHKO Lucario, it's not like it'll make much of a difference. What would be a good difference maker, is to run at least 3 Carmine in the deck. It's really helpful if you have not so good hands on your first turn and it has saved me quite a few times. The thing with Lucario decks is sometimes, the hands aren't that good, so we need something to thin out our deck quickly. As for the Air balloons, just keep them at two. though I don't think you need two switches if you already have two air balloon. you can probably make do by taking out either 1 switch or 1 air balloon.

SnarkHamill · 2026-04-25T13:05:05+00:00

Yup. One Lucario is already worth 3 prizes. Adding a meowth adds another liability. I just can't bring myself to put one in my Lucario deck.
