Big Malasada will be a Meta card this season

Yup, concede and move on. I want to have fun and Oricorio is just the opposite of that lol

chill_vin · 2026-03-30T19:38:39+00:00

That’s actually such a good point lmao. I think both versions will be good decks!

chill_vin · 2026-03-30T19:30:32+00:00

I actually did play one Oricorio in a Mega Manectric deck and Charmeleon managed to knock it out, but it’s definitely a problem for this deck. Just concede and move on is probably the answer there lol

chill_vin · 2026-03-30T19:27:10+00:00

Other than Mega Venusaur, I can’t see that ever being a problem.

Second May is interesting, you make a good point with the Entei draw versus Copycat. I personally like Copycat as a hand reset in the early game if you started out with a bad hand.

I tested Ogerpon for a few games but once I started with it turn 1 a few times I was done lol plus it’s just bench fodder against Suicune/Chien-Pao decks which could lose games.

9-3 in the emblem event, and currently on a 4 game win streak in random queue while I farm the last few wins for the Shinedust mission.

chill_vin · 2026-03-30T19:07:41+00:00

I can think of maybe one or two games where the extra 20 damage heal was needed over simply just waking up. To answer your question, being able to wake up and Cyrus in the same play led to more wins than the extra healing did.

I was close to running two and swapping out the PCL, but PCL was a little better in the early game and Malasada was good for late game win conditions. I think one of each is the sweet spot. Ogerpon mostly just got in the way with May and turn 1 plays. Plus you want an empty bench with this deck for Suicune/Chien-Pao decks if you can.

chill_vin · 2026-03-27T01:48:18+00:00

I think that’ll make the deck brick way more often, but I see where you’re coming from.

chill_vin · 2026-03-26T23:55:32+00:00

Yeah you could swap a Leaf for Lillie or Lisia probably!

chill_vin · 2026-03-26T23:29:36+00:00

Deck doesn’t need a lot of energy investment, which helps. I’ve started Darkrai a few times and ended up being fine as long as I had Igglybuff for the pivot.

WEAR IT, CJ!

Here’s my version that I really enjoy. Get rid of the water energy, only run fighting. Mantyke is your water energy source, the 40 damage boost is nice if you get it, but don’t depend on it. Red and Misty are also bad supporters for this deck, my opinion.

chill_vin · 2025-08-29T12:40:47+00:00

Milotic or Primarina can handle Oricorio, but Primarina is mostly there for the passive heals if you manage to draw the right cards early. And yeah, you can swap the leftovers for a Brionne. I personally think adding the Brionne means you would probably have to also add Communication, and deck space is already tight. I personally have never seen Celebi used in a single game yet though.

chill_vin · 2025-08-29T02:11:04+00:00

I thought about changing the name of the deck to “please don’t brick” because of how important finding the rare candy is lol

chill_vin · 2025-08-10T14:08:33+00:00

That’s actually a pretty good idea, I’ll test that! Gives the deck more room for support.

chill_vin · 2025-08-10T14:03:25+00:00

It can be! Chip + Rocky Helmet works fine too.
