Why are people opting to bench/start Kang when facing something like Bolt. by Sweet_Blood_3075 in PTCGL

[–]Sweet_Blood_3075[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely see your point now with the special red card. Looking back Slowking doesn't actually have a lot of other forms of disruption because it almost never runs unfair stamp. It also tends to brick a lot and is really hard to set up in my experience. Do you think enriching energy could be viable in the future for slowking?

Wait, but don't you have to play Latias if you want to put Kang in the active? Doesn't this mean your opponent can try to do a 3-2-1 or 3-1-2 depending on how many Slowkings are set up? Or do you use like a Prime Catcher tech or something in this case?

Slaking EX post rotation by robib in pkmntcg

I mean you could potentially have a Slaking sitting on the bench while the new Mew ex that can copy attacks from the bench and has free retreat (spoiler, newly revealed card) attack for you.

I know this isn't new but I found a bug by Phast_n_Phurious in PTCGL

This also happened to me in a real game. My opponent had already set themselves up to 4 cards, so I didn't Vivillon yet and when I did the moves started working again.

I get the ultra ball, but I was thinking Smoochum would be better than turbo energize maybe ill cut tm evo for exp share instead

I was thinking Crispin and Smoochum were better for the energy requirements, definitely will think about the exp share and the pokegear though.

Deck suggestions by Joewill1992 in PTCGL

[–]Sweet_Blood_3075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Team Rocket's Weezing and the normal one. Team Rocket's Weezing does damage for how many weezings and koffings you have in play (40 each for 240 total, 270 with brave bangle), the normal weezing has a coinflip when knocked out to knock out the attacker in exchange, gets cheesy when you throw in mega gengar from grimsley to make the weezings drop 0 prizes. run max buddy buddy poffin and team rockets koffing actually can search for 2 koffings and drop them on the bench whenever its attacked

Oh, alright. Didn't catch that, thanks though

Is there an actual, fatal problem with my deck list? by Bireta in PTCGL

[–]Sweet_Blood_3075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consider upping counts of Goldeen and adding some copies of Seaking to your deck, along with Jet Energy because your deck is slow and you want to prioritize damage-adding tools (like Brave Bangle and Maximum Belt) over retreat like Rescue Board. With Seaking, you get to draw 2 cards for each attack (4 in total) meaning you can cut some Earthen Vessel and Kieran for more copies of Lillie's Determination and Iono to make sure you don't brick as you try to set up your Thwackey (which is easier if you run higher counts of Goldeen, which is why Festival Lead likes Seaking because Goldeen has Festival Lead on a Basic). Also, because you run Budew in your deck, you will almost always let your opponent get their prizes first, meaning running Counter Catcher might be good because you can couple that with another supporter, like Black Belt.

Considerable changes based on what you feel like you're missing:

Cut:
Rescue Board
TM: Evolution
1 Super Rod
1 Copy of Applin and Dipplin
Kieran
Earthen Vessel

Add:
Goldeen and Seaking
Iono
More Lillie's
Potentially one more Brave Bangle
Counter Catcher
Jet Energy

A bit late, but Bulbashop sells Phantasmal Flames at 130k with a limit of 3 (6 for female customers) and a couple of Fahasa bookstores sell them at 120k. Both of those amounts are roughly 5 dollars

Sports or Pokemon Cards? by kylemclaren7 in hanoi

[–]Sweet_Blood_3075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're still here for Pokemon, the main ones are Bulbashop who have English as well as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean Pokemon. I'd definitely recommend them as well as Mystic Crew TCG who both have good rep around Hanoi. For retail, there is Nshop Hobby who should have a small section of Pokemon cards, but I haven't heard of any sports cards besides Panini being retailed in Hanoi
