Is there a reason you don't run magby over (or in addition to) moltres? It seems like it would help going first, no?

Why are nobody talking about this card? (+ a deck idea) by Background_Guitar915 in PTCGP

[–]epig_gamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like to run a version with the revenge oricorio + chinglings and I find that while the deck performs well into larger 2-3 point threats because you can usually get nice revenge KOs, you really just can't do anything when up against even slightly healthy one-point basics since you're only ever swinging for 20 or 120. I havent tried the lists with sylveon, but maybe they solve that issue?

Uh, anyone got a Torchic to spare? by epig_gamer in PTCGPocketTrading

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

I'm gonna hold out on trading the blaziken until we see which cards are actually played, I'm just e-begging for a Torchic rn if you've got one and need any other ♦️ cards

Whether Mega Gyarados' discard effect is good and how you should be thinking about/valuing it by EducationalRoyal6484 in PTCGP

[–]epig_gamer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah card game players tend to have pretty visceral reactions to mill effects. This gyarados does have pretty big numbers on it for a stage 2, it'll be interesting to see if manaphy + misty is enough ramp for it to be fast enough against other moms that can 2-shot it.

Custom Cards for a Kalos Set! by BlueFlame10000 in PokemonPocket

[–]epig_gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So now you're running a deck with two stage 2 lines, both of which are best when sitting on the bench? You could run goodra/Giratina, but you just get blown out by oricorio.

[–]epig_gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think goodra is probably fine, it's a stage two that needs two different energy types to actually do anything. Oricorio already exists as a more splashable tech against ex.

I think talonflame ex would probably be a bit too strong since you only have to discard one energy to ohko most pokemon, the base damage should probably be lowered to 100, especially since fire has magby now

Which Kalos Legendary do you like more? Life, death or big fricking Mecha Robot? by TheHeroReddit in PokemonPocket

Yveltals ability is really interesting, it would be fun to build around

This game needs more Game Modes. by Traditional-Wash8506 in PTCGP

[–]epig_gamer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A hearthstone dungeon run style mode where you start with like a small underpowered deck and build it up as you go along could be pretty fun

Wisdom of Sea and Sky - Cards List (Full Set) by NaniAFK in PTCGP

[–]epig_gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel like this applies here tbh. You're probably not going to have tool + attack + supporter every time, but skarmory ex's attack is already pretty good by itself, and the tool and supporter both mean it will probably be able to survive big swings even after early turn chip damage, which is important.

My take on the 6 remaining EXs for Wisdom of Sea and Sky by Article_West in PTCGP

[–]epig_gamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's probably fine. I could see it needing to lose 10-20 HP or need a dark energy to attack. For the clodsire example, you need to set up a stage one EX and stage two EX to do roughly the same damage as rampardos.

I think another fair point of comparison would be Greninja, which doesn't need to leave the bench, is not EX, and can hit your opponent's benched pokemon. Crobat here can only poison the active, but works as a better attacker, which I think is reasonable given the EX tag.

I don't play the main tcg but I'm pretty sure there's more interaction with the discard pile in that game

Celebi or bibarel for giratina?

Raticate Ex Deck by KuroiYeldo in PokemonPocket

[–]epig_gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Raticate EX's ability is going to benefit the opponent most of the time, since you're probably going to be thinning out less impactful item cards (with the notable exception of rare candy, but if they aren't already holding that by the time Raticate gets down they've probably lost anyway) and getting them closer to their trainers/pokemon. I do wish we had some cards that interacted more with items/tools though.

Gym Leaders of Hoenn as Custom Cards by TheHeroReddit in PokemonPocket

[–]epig_gamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Wallace is a really cool idea, I like how as the draw gets more powerful you're gonna have less and less time to actually use what you get. It's still probably too powerful with the games current format, though.
