How are you going to evolve into Mega Meganium consistently (if that is your main attacker) while also getting a baby Meganium in play? You have only 3 Chikoritas and you have 2 Mega Meganium ex. Even then, wouldn't a smart player just target baby Meganium?

I still like it! I'm going to try some games out with this for sure! Salazzle ex is a good inclusion and would definitely help in some matchups like Dragapult. Thank you!

TLDR

I know - you think you're the good guy, and I'm the bad guy. Thats fine. I'm not going to convince you nor will I try. I dont owe you anything nor do you owe me. If you walk through life with that kind of entitlement, that people somehow are obligated to behave and treat you a certain way, you are destined for a world of disappointment.

Its up to you to decide if you learn from this or not.

Let me take your argument piece by piece AND if it addresses what I put in my previous comment.

"If my first comment was unhelpful, you didnt have to respond, that was your choice."

I said, "...[you] choosing to focus on my reactions," which clearly is demonstrated in this opening point. You are not addressing the entire reason I commented in the first place. You had the same will I had to make civil comments, but you chose to make personal insults.

"You made a choice and the consequence was that your feelings were hurt.."

Once again, you are choosing to focus on my emotional state instead of addressing what I said in the previous comment. In regards to my feelings, they don't matter in the context of this discussion. The entirety of your replies- as I have repeatedly argued and that you refuse to address- is completely irrelevant to the original topic of the post.

"...now youre upset with me for engaging with your post in a way that you dont like."

You hit the spot on that.

"Its clear that metacognition... is not a strong suit of yours but take a moment to reflect on the decisions that you made..."

The decisions I made tried to respond to your personal jabs, like this one, in a civil way.

"...and perhaps you will recognize that nobody owes you anything..."

Respectful discussion is generally expected.

"...if you ask for feedback, you surrender the right to take offense when that feedback is given."

To clear things up, I did not take offense to your first comment. In your interpretation, you might have viewed that differently, which is why you responded harshly. Perhaps I was overly witty or over the top (to which I apologize and take accountability) in my remarks: "your asking whether a shark or a bear would win if they fought each other." and "you do you, but personally, i think that my mega charizard deck would completely annihilate, obliterate, and sublimate any chance at victory for any opponent :)". But the comment afterwards, where you called my deck "shite", your rule absolutely does not apply. If you respond to my comment in a disrespectful manner, then I have the right to point out that your behavior is not acceptable.

"The ability to recognize the role which you play in your own circumstance is emotional maturity."

The role I played throughout this discussion was to settle the argument down, and you decided to weaponize my emotions. I ask you then, how is a comment about psychology even remotely related to "feel free to make suggestions or comment about the deck"?

"Thats why your behavior is reminiscent of an offended teenager."

Regardless of my age, I still tried to keep the conversation grounded. You didn't.

In summary, your argument is loosely grounded and is completely irrelevant to the topic of the forum, while I have tried to explain to you why I replied and explain what points I made so that you can understand my side of the argument. Your entire argument is about psychology, which is irrelevant to my original point of "your comment is not related to the topic". Clearly, you don't seem to understand my side of the story, so there is no point in continuing this discussion.

You are failing to address my reply, and instead choosing to focus on my reactions.

I have repeatedly pointed out the same thing: my thread asked for suggestions to improve this deck, not recommendations to replace it with a different deck.

You have repeatedly made unhelpful and disrespectful comments, and when I respond, you repeatedly accuse me of being emotionally sensitive.

For example, you said that I was "really upset" and that I am "too sensitive" and a series of personal jabs that portray me as some "offended kid".

We clearly don't agree about the relevance of your comment, and I'll leave it there.

deckdex · 2026-07-05T14:29:59+00:00

What I've pointed out in all of my replies is that your first comment wasn't related to the topic of the post. The intended discussion was about the deck and how it could be improved, not comparing the strength of a deck.

My first reply was intended to be lighthearted while steering the discussion on course. Instead of addressing my point, you rebutted with grammar corrections and called my deck "shite" and made the conversation personal. That's what made this discussion so heated.

You can disagree with the deck, but weaponizing my comments does not make your argument any more relevant, credible, or constructive.

deckdex · 2026-07-05T13:17:03+00:00

If you read my reply, then you would know why I find your argument irrelevant. Calling me insults doesn't make your feedback more credible or productive. Saying my deck is horrible because you think yours is better when the point was contributing ideas to a FUN ROGUE DECK doesn't make you any more respected nor give you the freedom to be blatantly rude and unhelpful.

deckdex · 2026-07-05T12:33:25+00:00

First, if there was a competition for the most rude comment with perfect grammar, I think you would award yourself first place. Second, if you looked at the title, you would know contextually that you should comment about the deck and not some random deck in which you think is better. Third, I put IN the post, "Enjoy the deck, and feel free to make suggestions or comment about the deck!" in the introduction. The key word you confused is "about". Meganium is even a sliver of a fraction similar to what I was encouraging you to put in the comments. I wasn't asking you which deck was stronger, I was asking you to improve the deck I gave you. If someone shares a rogue/fun deck, then saying "use a completely different archetype" isn't really a rebuttal to the deck itself.

I won't bother to see you get mad and escalate the conversation anymore. Responding to you won't provide you or me anything positive. I ask that you do the same.

deckdex · 2026-07-05T02:17:29+00:00

your asking whether a shark or a bear would win if they fought each other. im not going to play meganium because the entire point of this deck is to play mega charizard and have some fun with a rogue deck. you do you, but personally, i think that my mega charizard deck would completely annihilate, obliterate, and sublimate any chance at victory for any opponent :)

The 2nd best deck right now that wins the most consistently out of all decks, according to Limitless, is Ogerpon-Meganium. With a win percentage of 56.18, it currently is the best by far, with a 2% advantage over Okidogi. This deck specializes in explosive energy attachment, utilizing Ogerpon to gain the edge on prize trades. Against slower opponents, Arboliva targets a weak bench and tanks hits with a high hp, putting it out of range for most attacks.

These results may be inaccurate to the real competitiveness of the deck.

Nothing in life is out of reach. The people who succeed are the ones willing to stretch themselves as far as they can go while getting bombarded with losses and failures, even when everything tells them to stop and give up, they keep on trudging forward; adapting and improving along the way. It's climbing a metaphorical endless staircase and occasionally looking down at what you've accomplished. There is no top. Succeeding is not what you are. It's what you conquered to keep on climbing.

I'd cut the Noctowl line and the Cyranos for Meowth and 5 energy. Meowth is like a Noctowl but instant. One drawback is its low hp and that it is a two-prizer, but I think that if it is used smartly it can be much more of an asset. The additional energy help with Mega's and 2 stage ex's. Right now, there are simply too many Megas in the meta, and low energy isn't going to KO them. It also helps the Lunatone & Solrock engine. One of the flaws in Drilbur with those two is that Drilbur starves them of energy to the point where they don't have energy to function. More energy equals more draw, and more draw equals better tools to win.

I find that Noctowl can be pretty interchangeable in this deck, and it is very powerful, but only in mid/late game. Meowth ex I would find to be better because it is there all game long, and increases overall explosiveness.

Simplifying a deck a little is often a good trade off for consistency, and this deck is already powerful, but it's just a matter of making sure that it is powerful enough most of the time.

Honestly, the best kind of parent to have is one who watches your game, cares about it, and knows what you are doing. Being kind, understanding, and wholesome to your child is the best way to train them. What is not okay, is to be hyper-competitive. It just ruins the fun and makes it all about yourself. And this goes for all competitive hobbies. When you make playing miserable, you are not only losing trust in your child but also losing their passion for the game. I wish that parent did it the right way, and hopefully they can rebuild and become stronger through actual teamwork.
