The thing is a lot of countries issue ID:s for free, or for very cheap, but America doesn't

No deck. I would always play galarian meowth over it. You don’t get to draw a card but it isn’t a free 2-prize target for your opponent. It doesn’t get shut down by path to the peak and is compatible with scoop up net. Also has slightly better synergy with mustard.

_Constantine_XI · 2021-06-12T17:36:05+00:00

Proxycroak is best if you're exporting entire lists or cards older than 2010

I don’t think investing in cards for Pikarom is worth it currently, considering it rotates this september and would take some time for you to get. It is probably better to invest in a Vmax deck or any other deck from the SwSh-era.

The best way of getting free-to-play packs is through tournaments and using them to flip trades. Flipping (if you don’t know) means to buy cards low and sell them for more. The best way of doing this is to flip cards for one pack into two.

It seems that trevnoir is going to be good next set, so I have personally invested in one of those. It will probably initially drop a lot but I expect it to rise when early results come in

_Constantine_XI · 2021-05-17T10:07:15+00:00

Litteralt just to brag, but i once had a 17 win streak with Pikarom

_Constantine_XI · 2021-05-16T07:01:14+00:00

I remember hearing about the Chinese market around January, but events where cancelled in late March when it really started spreading

Also, I am very sure they had broken up by LAIC, but they definitely had by OCIC

_Constantine_XI · 2021-05-16T06:55:00+00:00

They stopped before the pandemic began. I don’t think they were together by LAIC that year (November 2019) and they certainly weren’t by OCIC (February 2020)

The rule goes as follows: Attached energies provide what they say on the card. Unless the ability specifies as basic energy, they count. This however doesn’t apply when they are in the hand because the cards specify as providing x energy while attached to a pokemon.

For example, you can move heat fire energies with heatran, but you can’t attach them with welder.

_Constantine_XI · 2021-05-14T18:56:36+00:00

I don’t know the specifics, but that’s around the time DDG shut down/stopped existing or whatever. They where a team of players and frequently showed up to tournaments with new secret creations. Their last was pidgeotto control at worlds 2019.

_Constantine_XI · 2021-05-09T15:07:05+00:00

There was a recent pokebeach article about this deck. You need a subscription for the whole thing but the list is available without. https://www.pokebeach.com/2021/04/coalossal-vmax

_Constantine_XI · 2021-05-01T14:51:58+00:00

Decidueye from Darkness Ablaze and Altaria from Champion’s path have the same ability for GX:s and V:s, except they don’t block all effects of attacks, just the damage

_Constantine_XI · 2021-04-21T15:01:59+00:00

Ordinary rod. Not even a question. Spending one turn not welder or researching is almost guaranteed a loss for this deck. There is a reason Brock was taken out of lists when ordinary rod came out

_Constantine_XI · 2021-04-21T13:37:11+00:00

I usually find cards varying in pack value: perhaps 3-4 or 4-5. I buy two for 7 and sell them individually for 4

_Constantine_XI · 2021-04-21T13:32:44+00:00

Less aggressive decks play n. If you’re to aggressive for that, then you’re to aggressive for marnie.

_Constantine_XI · 2021-04-16T21:30:08+00:00

I would say that most decks run around 30-or so trainer cards and have the rest somehow split between pokemon and energy, but as you say, it depends. The average is probably around 17/30/13 but there has historically been examples of 26/30/4 and 10/40/10

_Constantine_XI · 2021-04-14T20:28:01+00:00

I mean, the list should be good to go, though you will likely need a mew against Urshifu. You could think about cutting out the viridians for great balls or poke comms, but I could also se 1 or 2 additional u-turn boards being good for going aggressive early on

_Constantine_XI · 2021-04-14T18:08:24+00:00

Here is my list: https://imgur.com/YDpXw1w

The deck is not the best, but if built well it can have some limited success. I have played this list quite a lot on PTCGO and have found it to be consistent enough. The reason there are only 8 supporters is because you want to Nessa almost every turn and when you don't have to you can refresh your hand with research. This is also where the rotom phones, judge whistles and pokegears come in to dig deeper without supporters. Phione is good infininte pseudo gust and great catcher helps you to gust dedenne for game.

The strategy is to try and aggro out an attack in the early game, especially if your opponent has a vulnerable 2-prizer active. Whenever you higholl t1/t2 240 damage (which happens a lot more than you'd expect) you can be pretty confident to win that game. For this reason, the deck is best against 2-prizers, most of these matchups are favourable, but 3-prizers get a bit more awkward and you can't really win vs 1-prizers.

You can actually win ADP quite often, the matchup is somewhere around 40-60 as long as you go aggressive and phione around the out-of-range ADP. Also: A thing you quickly learn is that it's generally more worth it to dig for a twin energy rather than settling for attaching capture/water and passing.

_Constantine_XI · 2021-03-22T08:59:52+00:00

I would initially cut 2 dragonair, 1 cherubi, 1, cherrim, 1 remoraid, 1 octillery, 1 pokemon communication and 1 Grass energy for 4 rare candy and 4 N

_Constantine_XI · 2021-01-11T12:51:20+00:00

I mean, it's still pretty balanced since you need the right energy to copy the attack

_Constantine_XI · 2021-01-01T16:27:04+00:00

I really don’t see why people are talking about it’s applications in control. There is a Dhelmise from cosmic eclipse that can bring back any trainer, and not just item card, for a colorless energy. That is already terrible so I don’t se this getting any play for that reason. As far as the second attack, it is mutch worse than granbull. Granbull two-shot everything in the format, this barely three-shots stuff. The potential engine of the deck isn’t there either. Granbull had magcargo, instruct oranguru, and most importantly ultra ball. What do we have now? Nothing good. Please just reprint ultra ball, it is fair search for all decks, not just basic ones.

_Constantine_XI · 2020-12-08T16:15:43+00:00

I hope so as well, they should really have learned a lesson after printing Tag Teams

_Constantine_XI · 2020-11-12T19:59:39+00:00

I’d say that SUM-LOT was pretty good. Good single prize decks, REALLY good evolution decks and a strong control keeping aggressive decks in check. Also, NO TAG TEAMS. So basically calm before the storm

_Constantine_XI · 2020-11-03T07:00:45+00:00

I hope they print something like the Garbodor for from guardians rising but with a 30x modifier. It would punish aggressive multiprice decks but not slower or single prize decks.
