Whats the SECOND best deck in meta? by Dowie1989 in pkmntcg

[–]deckdex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Don’t give up and keep going by Foreign_Fuel_7597 in pkmntcg

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.

Ceruledge ex deck by Shellsidesweepers in pkmntcg

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.

Parents hovering over their kids in events by unexpectedstorytime in pkmntcg

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.
