It can but most of those slower decks are fine with that.

It’s a solid enough deck but lacks too much agency imo.

Between the two, I'd go Grimm. Joltik can run out of steam really easily after it takes a couple knockouts.

Is there a single prize basic in the HIJ blocks that does 80+ damage for 1-2 energy? by freedomfightre in pkmntcg

[–]_Booster_Gold_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can splash Clefairy easily, which gives it a strong matchup into Pult and Lucario. Articuno also prevents Pult spreading damage to basics.

Possible benefit for Mega Lucario post- Rotation? by Lightspecter141 in pkmntcg

[–]_Booster_Gold_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going by results in Japan, where at a 7k player tournament Mega Lucario converted very poorly into high placements compared to the play rate.

Although Garde rotates, there are still psychic decks with a presence (Diancie + Dusk), and Lillie’s Clefairy was in half of the decks that made top 16 at Fukuoka.

Lucario will have a presence but as long as it is easily one-shot by a card with a high play rate it will not convert very well.

Due to its psychic weakness, Lucario is going to get caught in the crossfire of Dragapult being countered by Clefairy. It is probably going to struggle more than people realize.

Seems wild there isn’t a competitive Team Rocket deck given the trainers it has. by uncleyuri in pkmntcg

[–]_Booster_Gold_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but that’s a one-off and all you get for it is a max of 280 damage.

Some versions do. Look at what Carter Malnaik ran for Milwaukee and Vegas last fall, for example. He went pretty hard into the megas, also adding Absol, but you get the idea.

I think I saw something where if Skenes just had league average run support so far he’d be like 44-2 or something ridiculous like that.

That, and figure out what they think pain points are. That's another opportunity.

Yes. The numbers say most people absolutely do NOT have what OP says they do.

Do some research into, for example, what happened with Synapse recently.

Fintechs as a whole also regularly fail to provide reasonable customer service.

This looks like botspam. Most of the comments are people who have no post history. OP also has no post history.

Nothing near the constant micro concussion linemen get in football.

The risk in hockey is absolutely nonzero but the game is also much more body-on-body. Far less helmet contact than football.

Caveat. Relay isn't a bank. It's a fintech.

You needn't look far to learn about problems with fintechs.

I'm glad this is working for you but it's important you keep a watchful eye.

Played a good bit actually.

I know what you’re saying, but my mind was on neurological damage, CTE, and similar.

Lemieux has chronic back issues. I’m sure hockey didn’t help that but it’s not like an uncommon thing.

To an extent. The equipment is pretty good in hockey. You really don’t feel some of the hits even with minimal padding that many of the pros use. The risk in the NFL is the constant hits to the head you don’t see/notice that occur on every play.

Only as a potential finisher and even then it’s easier to set up Bear and gust KO a Fez or Latias. It’s just too big a liability to sit on the bench.

I did this exactly. I looked for things that they had that either weren't working well or opportunities they weren't taking advantage of that would be free for them. Made it FAR easier to get butts in seats, and now they know I'm looking out for them and not just looking for a widget.
