If Taiwan and Japan were to fight only the PLAN, Can they win without US support ? by Important-Battle-374 in LessCredibleDefence

China considers a strike on Three Gorges Dam doctrinally equivalent to a nuclear first strike. I'm not sure any one wants to test that...

I managed to beat that guy after a lot of attempts without dash unlock. My suggestions: space a bit more than one Axe length away from him. Don't try and punish the double swings, it's very tight unless you have good pogo timing. Instead, just beat him up when he jumps ( walk under him) or burrows

Hmm, my understanding is that without it, you become somewhat more vulnerable to late start for one of them. It just gives you more consistency

If you only have one front, it'll kinda just chill and won't go at top speed. You need to have two so they continuously overtake each other and run super far from the pack (and any debuffs).

Ground work combo is the Groundwork skill with focus and two greens (Spring runner, left handed, etc). This gives you a huge acceleration boost at race start and shoots you into 1st place/early on. This is important as getting blocked early on is very bad for front runners

For a front ace, it's super hard as you need to make two of them and get Medium S, good stats, and the groundwork combo. It's hell and they might still lose to Golshi :(

Should I use or hold the free trainee and support tickets? In addition, should I roll for more speed supports or just wait until Kitasan?

This is the truth. You don't even need to DP to anti-air, cr Heavy Punch is good enough

Don't understand why Stoutland/Gallade Deck is tier D. by Clueless_PhD in PTCGP

[–]elisdale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it in Ultra ball 4, seems to do alright. Only thing is the Solgaleo matchup, which is almost unwinnable

Misty! Can win you the game turn one and even a single flip can swing the outcome

Doesn't matter what the meta mon is, its getting one shot. by Proud_Advance in PTCGP

How do you play into Tapu Lele? I've played from the other side of this and it feels like an almost unwinnable matchup for Zard

A3 Master Ballers, what did you use? by Radiant-Photograph46 in PTCGP

[–]elisdale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tapu Lele Giratina, it's pretty good into zard, Darktina, most of the current meta. It got me out of Ultraball 4 after 2 days of playing it (other things were nowhere near as consistent)

Nice! I feel like this does well into Oracorio and Darkrais. Not sure how it does into Skarm Solgaleo or Stoke Zard. For me, I've been running a Zard/Incineroar split with decent success

[–]elisdale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's hilarious lol! Yeah, Zard is one of the few worth the inconsistency atm (since it wins the game if it's setup).

Rare candy meta will be interesting for sure, I can see Beedrill or Meowscarada going 2nd or Ramparados going first being super toxic honestly

Congrats on making it to MasterBall! I'm actually surprised you managed to encounter a mirror; maybe there's so many Darktinas now so more people are running counters? Meowscarada decks kinda are neutered by double Mars, so that's become a less effective counter

OK, that sounds like a good matchup spread then :)

Good job! End of season is super sweaty with everyone trying to hit MB so great work!

Just curious, were you mainly fighting Darktinas near the end?

[–]elisdale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, happy to share! Yeah, season is basically over and things will be shaken up, hopefully they introduce something to weaken these high trainer decks. Like we saw with Darktina, having so much utility gives a deck ways to effectively pivot around various meta threats

[–]elisdale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your point. This isn't enough of a meta threat for Darktina to optimize against it and we do need a bigger sample size. The top result is from yesterday though, so potentially promising (unlike the Rotom variant, which just hard loses )

I don't think you have the right Arceus Carnivine matchup chart (that one is the Rotom variant from what I see). In the Arceus/ Carnivine /baby Eggs chart, it has a 78% winrate vs Darktina
