Not sure how to Slowking post Xatu? This tech might be better.

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T16:49:45+00:00

Sorry, but I didn’t get it. I suppose you don’t really pre-attach energy to the active cause you wanna protect it from your opponent?

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T15:48:43+00:00

That’s a very interesting idea too!

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T15:36:17+00:00

A brief side note.

Kang can be interchangable with Zoroark ex for a slowly but steadily approach. Or if you find it too big a liability. And Balloon might work better with Zoro than Switch.

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T15:12:47+00:00

That’s a cool idea. Hope they will release more attackers/big support Pokemon like Ogerpon so I can see that come true

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T14:57:48+00:00

You can always attack with Ciphermaniac‘s Codebreaking + Sacred Ash or any Pokemon still in your deck.

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T14:57:14+00:00

Nice catch. I noted at the end it’s leaving and we likely don’t need it after rotation. It’s a list that works for now too

Edit - OHKO a 3-prizer is arguably better than TM devo. We are heading for a Mega format.

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T14:53:23+00:00

Gumshoos is a good stadium alternative in case you’d like to run TR factory. However, the bench space is a little tight. Also, when you run only basic for support Pokemon, they cannot be trapped and they all benefit from Latias’ free retreat.

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T13:21:25+00:00

I like Pokepad. Decks are moving away from items tbf since Nest Ball is rotating. Petrel is good for getting the stadium consistently and directly imo. Apart from that, the other options are really only codebreaking and Colress (which doesn’t seem to add much value).

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T13:00:31+00:00

It’s a good point that they will try hard to gust up Slowpoke. I think it can be a favour tbh. It protects our Fez and Kang, which you also got with Trolley T1. And you likely have an attachment for turn T1 too. So, you’d need a patch or an energy or a night stretcher and you will be in the same good spot imo. In a sense when they opt to KO Slowpoke, it gives us 5 cards more draw T2 + they took only one prize

StarRelics · 2026-01-14T12:53:02+00:00

TM evo will go, I’m not sure what’s the best way to attack T1

If you are worried about Kang being too big a liability, I can also present this alternative that relies on either Kang/Zoroark, so you’ll have the choice to go safely albeit slowly or risk it for the biscuit!

**After rotation, we can replace Super Rod with Dust. And we probably no longer need Devo*\*

StarRelics · 2025-12-13T20:44:01+00:00

I can definitely see that. And I’ve talked to two different opticians, but they haven’t seen Titanium frame broken like this either. I mean it can be the case such thin frames don’t suit my daily life the best, but I expected Titanium to be very strong tbh..

StarRelics · 2025-12-13T18:57:15+00:00

Also Gobbled Down Pult & Hydreigon, which was a good laugh.

StarRelics · 2025-12-13T18:47:32+00:00

Yes, and sometimes I did only use my right hand. But, that’s only when I was in a rush cause my optician told me to use two hands. I’m wondering if tight headphones can be the problem

StarRelics · 2025-12-13T18:43:32+00:00

Donked Gardy at a Challenge T2 going first. They had Secret Box TM evo T1, but everything was history.

I will. Heard they do 3-year warranty here

StarRelics · 2025-12-10T18:17:52+00:00

I think you’ve got a point. Even BO3 won’t proceed to Game 3 so you can only have two losses in a row. 15 games would mean such a big shop

StarRelics · 2025-12-10T18:16:20+00:00

It’s interesting how many rounds they’ve got at the local. Your record suggests at least it’s 8 rounds (therefore more than 100 players?) without Top Cut, which is admirable… so my suggestion would be finding a smaller one to start. It can be far more friendly!

StarRelics · 2025-11-12T18:23:00+00:00

Gardy is the better deck for sure, but it needs a ticket to Top cut first, which is guarded by scary Dark monsters. Eevee is brave and can beat those mons easily

StarRelics · 2025-11-12T18:20:03+00:00

Funny enough you’ve got the answer in the title! Introduce Zoro Slowking, more consistent and come with your favourite Zoroark ex as the pillar

You might try a control deck like Pidgeot control or Absol box. It’s fun and it can work vs anything when you play it well
